Falling out of love with someone is one thing.
Falling out of love with something you had once considered your passion is another entity in itself.
People always say that when you're 18 your life has just started, and you have the world in your hands. But what if you don't want it?
Aspyn has never taken her family's status for granted, in actuality, it's the part of her she has distanced herself from the most. What everyone dreams to be and longs to obtain is the one thing she resents though she's basked in it.
Going through the tides of her final year in high school, living in southern Canada with her twin brother who's attached to her and loves her more than himself only due to his sense of guilt and responsibility. Aspyn finally sees the boy she's known for all her life who is nothing like her but for some reason is the only one who truly understands her.
Relationship's pile and topple while she doesn't know what to do with the future that seems so promising to everyone else but her: the path she's taken is one she had grown to hate.
But when her twin brother who has been her line of support ever since he came back, pushes her past the boundaries she has set in stone, she feels everything crashing down when truths she didn't know existed are revealed.
The results of her life choices dawn over her until she has no choice but face them before the situations she has conjured in her mind becomes reality.
How can someone who doesn't even love themselves fall back in love with their talent, let alone love someone else?

Love with strings detached
I put on a show only for him in front of hundreds of people. I bring one hand up to my hair flicking them to the other side, trailing that hand down to my sternum and then my boob as I keep swaying my hips from to side, bending my knees as I lower myself a bit to the ground before sharply standing up again and slowly spinning around, circling my hips. I run my hands through the back of my hair before nailing my gaze on his eyes, slowly walking up to him. I watch him as he wets his lips before biting his plumb bottom one, eyes trailing up my body. Once I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck and run my fingers through his hair as I press my body up against his. His hands shoot out to grab me from my lower waist, pulling me even closer to him as he pushes a leg between mine, staring into my eyes. I turn my head to the side and brush my lips against his ear before licking and biting his earlobe the same way I did at the party before whispering a few words he was dying to hear. "Take me back to your place." ---------- Theo is a 20-year-old university student with a bad temper. Letting go of the past can be a difficult thing to do but a much-needed one to move on.

Winning Back Mr. Right
Life is too short to be anything but ordinary. That being said, I learned how to play the guitar one day and wrote songs about love. My guitar skills maybe limited but I had so much fond memories that the callous on my fingers made a good souvenir on that musical stage in my life. As the years passed, I began taking interest in art; painting in particular. So I collected all the coloring materials I can find and start sketching in this huge white pad I got from some local bookstore. My brothers can sketch and since we share the same DNA, it's probably one of the reasons why I do contain a pinch of that same talent. To this date, sketching and painting are the two hobbies I still find interesting especially on stressful days and lonely nights. Call me greedy. It didn't stop there. My reading habit became so much more persistent that I also took a liking on writing. Wattpad paved a way for me to express myself, to show the world that I can be whoever I want to be as long as I put my heart and mind (together with a lot of hard work) to it. Thus, Winning Back Mr. Right was born. Like all relationships, one has the discretion of fulfilling, disappointing, and enduring at the same time. And just like the other girls out there, we need to find inspiration or simply to get stoked. Winning Back Mr. Right is a story about a beautiful, young lady named Airie. Airie is loved and cherished by Nathaniel, who is every girl's Mr. McDreamy. The couple is what the millenials would term today as #relationshipgoals. One day, her world turned upside down upon meeting the not-so-stranger-after-all Kevin, who happens to be every girl's Mr. McSteamy. Airie makes a mistake and crosses the line. Is love really enough to make a relationship work? Does being with someone for a long time guarantee a lifetime together? How she picked up the pieces and redeemed her rebel heart will lead her to Mr. Right. The question is...who exactly is Mr. Right?Complete
