A river of toils and promises

Being Indigenous in a world that feels like it just wants to forget about us is not an easy life. We are a protrusion to a society that only wants to look forward toward progress. We are a hindrance to the goal of expansion and development. We see what others wish to be blind to. It is not our fault for the way we choose to exist. It is not a sin for us to be who we are. This is us in all dimensions of time. Past, Present, Future. Understand that we do not hate the world, nor anyone in it. For it is the opposite! We still love this world. We will defend it with everything we have and are, even if you will not.

Unrequited
"Why do you allow me back into your life? You know I'm only going to push you away again," he said with all honestly, not to hurt her, but because he knew how he behaved with her. And a part of him doubted that he would change. Even for her. "Because one day, you are going to realize what we have, and you won't push me away," she answered. It's funny how life can be so perfect one moment, and so awful the next. Other people are usually the cause of this back and forth, but what if it was just one person? One who couldn't love themselves, so they were incapable of loving others? John and Arianna have known each other since they were young. Friends, lovers, enemies: they have been through it all. They go through years of ups and downs, the losses, the gains, the middle ground as they try to find their way. Find their life. Will they be together? Or will circumstances keep tearing them apart? Only time will tell if their love will remain... Unrequited.Complete
Grace
What's the point of pretending we're alright when we aren't? We're only humans, so why can't we face our weaknesses and problems head-on instead of trying hard to appear perfect to the world around us? What exactly are we trying to prove? That we're perfect? * An actress pursuing a topnotch movie; A producer that isn't what he seems; An unintentional murder; And a God that worked behind the scenes. It took all these for Grace to realise that her name wasn't just a name- it was a lifeline. _Her_ lifeline. Grace was saved... By grace.Complete

The Unexpected
Looking at myself in the mirror I began to trace the small outline of my birthmark with my fingers. Anxiety began to claw at the back of my mind because of the fear of the unknown. Some of us have many birthmarks and some of us only have one just like me. I was told by my Nana that everyone birthmark had a different but very meaningful purpose in this life. Nana always stressed that I should "NEVER EVER" take my birthmark lightly. I never knew how true Nana's warning we're until this very moment... This may not be suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Some chapters will have vulgar language and violent tendencies.Complete
The Elemental Seven: Nature Lives
The world around us can be diverse in so many ways, but sometimes the most diverse way is a way we may never have known possible. And that is a secret that will soon be revealed as once it's been made known the world around you may never be the same again. Our tale begins with the seven, a group of ordinary teenagers, but the difference is that they'll soon learn that they are far from ordinary as their destinies have been in creation before they were even born. Darkness will descend and life will be lost, but when time is a measurement of life the seven will soon discover that their lives are only just beginning. With secrets and mysteries hidden by the ones that they loved, they'll find that the problems of daily life are nothing compared to that of an Elemental. But with a tale like this, which is only just beginning. A single question remains to be asked. 'Would you learn even a single secret and still believe it?' Only you can answer that.Complete

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy
The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.Complete
