In 1996 a boy wrote his thoughts in a journal. In 2018 a girl was given a journal to read. Separated through time one journal connected these two teenagers. By writing and reading they will soon learn to grow from their struggles that ties them down.

M was a carefree daughter who loved to spend time with her parent's, but one day she said something that she would regret forever because she never got the chance to apologize for it. Now she lives with her Aunt and Uncle who love her dearly, but M struggles to open up because she is afraid she might hurt them too. One day after coming home from a fight in school, M was given a journal that would help her connect with those who love her.

N always had good grades and was the golden child. Expected to become what his parents wanted him to be, he never really knew what he wanted. Soon he saw the world as bland with no real reason to keep on going anymore. He never made his own friends as his parents would make him befriend those who are beneficial for him. Now he writes in a journal that he has something to live for. Right? One day a new girl transfers to the school and she makes him see in color again.

Struggles are hard to go through especially as a teenager. How do you grow from a parent's death? How do you connect with someone when you're afraid too? What is it to live for yourself? Can you carve your own path even when you're expected to fill another role? On the weekend people forget their worries and questions, but when Monday comes around it's time to face those struggles and sometimes we're not ready for it. But today is Monday, so are you ready?

This is my truth by KristinaFigolah
72 parts Ongoing
My life has been an intense journey from a little girl who was beaten down and abused into believing that she was worthless, to a woman at 43 years of age who is still desperately searching for who she truly is. I found her though. I did. And she writes like me, from inside of me. She is me. This girl that I've been in love with since time first existed, is indeed me. The way that she walks. With her hands... and how she talks? The hearts that she's captured, the souls that she has inspired. I'm now trying to be her. I've never felt that I was good enough to actually be myself!!! I always knew how pure and clear and free I was inside. But people told me otherwise, in a very cruel way. No one ever spared my feelings or thought to speak to me with kindness or love. My parents were very serious and strict people. They believed that there was only 1 way to act and inside I knew that I did NOT fit in the parameters of the behavior expected of me. And every single time I made my Step Daddy sigh or frown it felt like I knife in my heart. I was a let down. Always too loud. Always moving too much. Always too fat and always too ugly. Always too much. Unless I sat quietly. But I've always been a firecracker and all of that containment really made me want to blow off! All of what was inside of me, swirling and dividing in me. Burying the side of me that I loved the most! I was a bastard and a blasphemy. Harsh words for a girl of 3. They said them when they baptized me.

*MATURE BECAUSE*: It contains serious, sensitive and triggering topics like self-harm, unhealed trauma, assault, murders, etc. Reader discretion is advised.

This is the story of exploring life, jumping away from pasts and diving with open arms into self-made futures. Aashna Bagchi, a psychology student, has been working day and night on her research that holds the most important place in her life.

However, after meeting Aashna and her friends, he has started wishing for some deeper relationships. Aashna, Abeer, Girisha, Muskan, Kartik, Abhimanyu, and others, all carry some deep-rooted sorrows within them. What they also carry, are dreams, ambitions and hopes. Together they grow, cope, heal, work hard and be there for each other... but at what cost? What will it take to achieve their dreams? How many times is it that destiny lets us have what we want? Is it true that relationships fall apart in the journey of aspirations? How do you know if the relationships are healthy and worth engaging in? So many questions in their lives. Yet these youngsters stand strong against all the hardships, ready to fight against whatever comes their way. But... for how long can they do this? How long will they last? ***Some major themes/tropes:- Friends to lovers Group Friendship Adulting Slow burn, Healthy Romance Dreams and Aspirations Perspectives on relationships Healing and Coping Sunshine X Sunshine Multiple couples (Libraries, Books, Coffee, Psychology, Art) ...and of course, a lot more!

Ages 14+ (lesbian concepts and some profanity) This is not your everyday love story, okay? It's not a chick flick either. The events and themes within my pages have meaning, depth, truth-and most of all, reality. You are about to be taken on an adventure about a girl who's life is not like everybody else's. I look like a normal teen girl, I mean, I have hair and two eyes and two hands and feet like everybody else, but I couldn't feel more different. I have two moms, yes. Let's just get that out there before you start reading and close my diary like everyone in my life has shut me out of theirs. All I want is a normal life with normal friends who don't judge me because of my home situation. I don't even remember the last time I went on a sleepover or called somebody my age. I don't mean to be a downer, because it does get better. Life gets better. Struggles are only temporary, I know that now. And by my last words reach your eyes, I've come a long way, and have grown to see potential in myself. I'm sharing this with you because I want to make a difference. I know now that I'm not the only one in the world that feels alone. I've been there, done that, and there's more loneliness to come, but for now, I feel more prepared for it. I know how it feels to sit by yourself at lunch every day and how it feels to watch others go to prom with dates and feel like shit because you don't think you'd even have any friends to go with. Please ready my diary. I am much older now, and much more wiser, and I can't wait for you to realize the potential in yourself, too.
Altered by LuellaOpal
30 parts Complete Mature
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. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
