"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...

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.

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
Where Love Left Scars
"We said goodbye for the sake of growing up. But growing up didn't mean moving on." At Rosebridge University, Mirabel and Caden meet again-not as lovers, but as best friends carrying unspoken history. They broke up in high school when Mirabel's grades slipped, and she blamed the distraction of love. Caden let her go, believing they'd find their way back someday. But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.Complete
Everything that happened since September
Aude has a plan. Sort of. Survive business school, be more mature, keep things casual with the boy she's definitely not in love with, and absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for the arrogant finance guy she interned with in Greece. Easy. Except her year in Nantes has other ideas: There are too many parties she doesn't remember agreeing to, suspiciously flirty chats, and way too many moments that feel like coupledom, but aren't. Not officially. As friendships shift and feelings get messy, Aude finds herself growing up in ways she never planned, and realizing that the people who change us the most aren't always the ones who stay. Sharp, funny, and quietly devastating, this is a story about love, timing, and the chaos of becoming who you are, one awkward text at a time. - - - - - - - - Cover found on Pinterest TWS : Talks about mental health Songs and lyrics go to their rightful ownersComplete
