In this heartfelt essay, I share how I discovered the value of being #BraveTogether. This is the most open I have ever gotten with my personal life. I am honored to take part in the Wattpad x Maybelline write-a-thon, and I can't wait to see the stories my fellow Wattpadders share.

Turns out the real success story is the friends we make along the way!

Books in Progress by DinoNinjaReader101

Books in Progress is showing you a cover of the book I'm working on with a description and a sneak peek of a chapter. I've been writing since my final for English and it has encouraged me to write. And I was so proud that my teacher liked my story. So I joined wattpad during the kissing booth competition and sadly I didn't win. But what I didn't realize was that people read my embarrassing moments. So I created this book to share books I've been making in the process with sneak peeks. So enjoy previews for all types of books I've wrote. <3 DinoNinjaReader101

Knot Two Omegas (Omegaverse, Why Choose) by Ashleywilder2080

Two Omegas, one pack, a love forbidden by law. Locked up in the omega facility for thirteen years, Sadie's lost hope she'll ever find a mate when Jake appears bruised and bleeding at her door. While Sadie fights the ghosts of her past, Jake is unwilling to face his future as an Omega, even though he has a pack waiting for him at home. Their blooming relationship is heading straight for disaster, when one of them is due for a heat. Without an alpha a heat can have deadly consequences, but mating with one is a sure way to break two Omega's hearts. "What am I?" "Mine," he hissed. "I want you to be mine." "Then make me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is an mmmfmm omegaverse reverse harem/why choose story - it's also a non-shifter OV. There will be a happy end (at some point). This is intended for 18+ because it will include mature content as the story progresses. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm gonna include trigger warnings as they come up, as I'm still in the process of writing. So far that includes: eating disorder, past abuse, attempted rape (past), dub con, and if you feel something should be mentioned, that I didn't, please let me know and I'll include it.

Her (#justwriteit) (Lesbian stories)(#lgbt)✔ by pythagoraswasadouche

◇ completed ◇ Her eyes, the most magical thing in the world. Her lips, I could kiss them all day, my whole life. Her touch, I yearn for it every single time I am with her. Her presence, the best times I can ever experience are with her. Her. I love her more than anyone on this Earth. But she cannot be mine, they say. Our love cannot win, they say. The world has different rules. Rules which do not mean anything to me. I can not live without her and I can go to extremes to get her. I am Julie and I will make my love win over this world. A story of two young women who fall in love and face tough situations, just to be with each other. They face it together, even though their efforts fall apart every time. They fight and never give up. Will they succeed? Love wins or loses?

Love Shouldn't Hurt (My Personal Experience With Emotional Abuse) by Aria_Cosmic

Change to disclaimer: I censored their name because they were getting death threats. THIS BOOK IS COMPLETE In my younger years, I accepted toxic manipulation and emotional abuse as normal and a sign of love. I've dealt with lying and manipulation all my life but never classified it as wrong since it all came from someone I loved: my father. I never fought back because I was raised to put trust in him because we were kin. A decade later, I come across Wattpad with a warm and loving community, and through mutual friends meet THEM. We then start dating on and off and then finally break up. Before we do break-up, they made me vow to never tell anyone what I had gone through and discovered about them. I said yes without hesitation because I was still madly in love with them and stupidly loyal; but as two years pass I realize I promised to not tell anyone about their true self so they could continue to do what they did to me and to silence me because they knew I still had feelings for them and was formidably loyal. I became damage control so they could continuously drag in new weak-minded people like me and make them go through the same pain and groom them to shower them with attention every second of the day and when they didn't; they made them feel as if they were wrong. They made their lovers feel like they were the bad guy and insignificant at the same time. In Present day, this still haunts me to the point I only get a few hours of sleep. My ex isn't here now and I feel I must share not only as a way to warn readers of people like them and how his definition of love is actually far from the truth, but as way of closure for myself.

Brightside by Tooshylesbian

"I shook out of my sad thoughts and tried to look at the brightside. It was hard to find one at first but I did. I clung on to the thought of me being successful and far far away from here." Read my other books Lighter and Brighterside😁 Shoutout to @DepresseionsLesbian for motivating me to start this story

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily. I can't wait till I find my mate. He'll be perfect and handsome and funny and smart and brave and beautiful and he'll love me... only ever me... and... and... Present This hurts so much. Seeing and hearing and knowing my mate, the one who's supposed to love me above all, me, only me is in love with somebody else. I'd hate him if I could. I'd reject him if I could... I wish I could. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER.
