"I love you. I feel as though we were never strangers, you and I, not even for a moment."
- Friedrich Nietzsche, from a letter to Mathilde Trampedach c. April 1876
Have you ever felt a weird sense of familiarity with someone you just met? As if you knew them and yet you were completely sure you had never seen them before. Almost like you must've known each other in another lifetime.
Faye is quiet and reserved. Marlo is confident and outgoing. When Faye's best friend brings her to a party at university, their paths cross. Only, this meeting is unlikely, as Faye prefers not to go to parties. It seems as though it could be fate, like it is their destiny to know each other...

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness.

My Imaginary Friend
Sometimes, a person can feel lonely even while being surrounded by people. I, on the other hand, have never been surrounded by people, because if anything, I preferred feeling alone without anyone. Or more like being alone with my imaginary friend. I created Jayden in my mind back when I was nine years old. For most of my life, I transferred schools non-stop in hopes to have a better social life, at least that's what my parents wished for me to have. Unfortunately for them, I already gave up on that. I simply continued talking to Jayden, the only friend I ever had since childhood. And it just kept going as it was... until it didn't. ~~~ ~This story is dedicated to my younger self.

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete

The Spectrum
Beck is top of her class when it comes to Maths and Science and her future seems bright. However, she struggles with social anxiety and relationships. Beck is autistic and spends most of her life locked away in her own mind as she reads her collection of books to escape her abusive alcoholic father. But once her eyes meet a grey eyed boy from across the room her world won't be the same. (18+ violence, adult themes, bullying, harassment and other issues) Being Autistic myself I have put a lot of me in this book. I've exaggerated certain aspects for entertainment values but other than that this is how awkward I feel most of the time. I don't see many books by women who write about their experiences in a creative way to spread awareness in a fun and compassionate way. This is mine I guess. I hope you enjoy this short story.Complete
