Love was never part of the plan-at least, that's what I kept telling myself. Through heartbreak, self-discovery, and the quiet moments in between, this is my story of learning to live with an open heart after being broken by the world. It's about the walls we build to protect ourselves, the people who try to climb them, and the aching truth that sometimes what we fear most is what we crave the deepest.
Raw, honest, and unfiltered, Ocean Water In A Bottle, takes readers through the chaos of falling apart and the beauty of learning to trust again. This isn't a fairy tale-it's a confession, a journey, and a reminder that love, no matter how terrifying, always finds a way back in. And that the past cannot hold you back,

IT STILL HURTS!!!
Sometimes, love isn't the fairytale they tell us-it's the quiet storm that rages inside when you lose yourself chasing someone who was never meant to stay. It still hurts. Not because of what they did, but because of what you let yourself believe. This is a story about heartbreak, revenge, and the haunting echoes of what could have been. It's raw, it's painful, and it's real. If you've ever loved and lost, if you've ever wanted to scream at the world, if you've ever felt the weight of loneliness crushing your chest... this story is for you. Because, sometimes, we don't get the happy ending. But that doesn't mean the story isn't worth telling.Complete
Authentically His
In Authentically His, Soren has spent years trying to meet the expectations of others-especially her parents and the church. But no matter how hard she tried, it never felt right. After years of living under the pressure to be perfect, she's done pretending. It's time for her to live authentically-for herself and for God. When Soren meets Liam, a man who sees her for who she truly is, not just the person others want her to be, she's faced with the most difficult question of all: Can she let go of the past, embrace the love she deserves, and allow herself to walk in faith while living authentically in her relationship? Soren's journey is full of challenges, personal growth, faith, and, most importantly, the love she's always dreamed of-a love grounded in truth, acceptance, and the belief that God guides us all to the right path. As Soren navigates her relationship with her family, her career, and Liam, she learns that love isn't about perfection-it's about being real, vulnerable, and fully accepting the journey God has planned for her. In this heartfelt story of self-discovery, authentic love, and unshakable faith, Soren learns that the most important relationship she can have is the one with herself. And, with Liam by her side, she discovers that she is authentically His-and authentically his, too.Complete
Stockholm Syndrome (Larry Stylinson)
My heart was beating and adrenaline was running through my body at a thousand miles per second. My hand wrapped around the door knob, but then I was pulled back painfully by my arm. I was whipped around and was face to face with a pissed off Louis. "Where do you think you're going, love?" He asked, and I gulped at how dark his voice sounded. The sane part of me was absolutley terrified of it, and I didn't like it, but the part of me that thought Louis was incredible was so turned on by his dark side. "Answer the question." He said as he squeezed my wrist tighter, and I winced a bit, but I didn't answer the question. "Were you trying to leave? Were you trying to run away from me?" He asked, and I felt his nails digging into my skin. I gave a small yelp of pain and then he was dragging me harshly by my arm down the hall again. He passed the room that I was staying in before and opened another door that was three doors down. He pushed me inside, and I couldn't see a thing. The room was completely dark. I began to breath faster because I've never been a big fan of the dark. I hated it. I didn't like what I couldn't see. I jumped as I felt a hand on my waist and my breath caught as I felt a surge of electricity run through me. I felt him pull me closer to him until my back was against his chest. His lips rubbed against my ear and he slowly whispered out "You can't leave, Harry. You're never gonna get away. I'm not gonna let you."Complete![More than a bromance [Larry Stylinson]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/254162762-256-k380992.jpg)

Monachopsis
[mon-a-chop-sis] What am I to this world but a plastic bottle in the ocean? Thrown aside to get lost in the waves. An empty reminder of what once was forever stuck as a shell of what could have been. Maybe I could be something to her. Am I worthy to breathe the very oxygen that fills her lungs? Worthy enough to share my days beneath the sun and under the moonlight by her side? Or am I just a plastic bottle reflecting the sun light long enough to trick foolish eyes that I am a diamond? • Emily & Riley: A queer StoryComplete

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap. Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared. Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling. But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted? A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
The Weight of Blue Skies
Mae has spent years holding herself together, until she can't anymore. A gifted illustrator, she's always found solace in her art, but burnout, anxiety, and the ghosts of childhood trauma leave her untethered. Quitting her job and retreating into isolation, Mae convinces herself that silence is safer. That disappearing is easier. But when the weight becomes unbearable, she takes a shaky first step into therapy, opening a door she's long kept shut. What follows is raw, messy, and achingly real. Through painful conversations, unspoken memories, and fragile moments of courage, Mae begins to unravel the truths she's buried about her past, her family, and the harsh voice inside her head. Along the way, she rediscovers the quiet power of old friendships, unexpected connection, and the art that once felt lost to her. Slowly, her story shifts, not toward perfection, but toward presence. Toward staying. Told with tenderness and poetic insight, The Weight of Blue Skies is a portrait of falling apart and finding the strength to rise, piece by piece, into a life that finally feels like home. It is not about being fixed, it is about being real. About surviving. About choosing to stay.Complete
