Finding My Ways by Elysian_wini

Alizeh D'Souza is a young woman trying to find balance in the chaos of her life. A dedicated intern in Cost and Management Accounting (CMA), she's buried under deadlines and the high expectations of her family. Her once-passionate love for dancing is now a distant memory as she struggles to live up to the demands of her career. Amidst this whirlwind, Alizeh reconnects with Vikram Ahuja, a childhood friend, whose carefree spirit brings a refreshing light into her overworked life. Their nightly conversations become a source of comfort and escape for Alizeh. Despite the exhaustion from her hectic schedule, she finds herself looking forward to their chats-filled with playful banter, teasing, and heartfelt confessions-which slowly help her rediscover parts of herself she thought she'd lost. As they share their thoughts, Vikram's wit and warmth pull Alizeh out of her shell, allowing her to open up about her insecurities and the pressures she feels. With each conversation, Vikram encourages her to live for herself, not just for others. Their growing bond leads to a spontaneous hiking trip, where Alizeh begins to rediscover joy in life, nature, and even in the idea of love. Finding My Way is a story about reconnecting with your passions, embracing vulnerability, and the beauty of rediscovering yourself through unexpected friendships. Through their conversations and moments shared together, Alizeh learns that sometimes, the journey to finding your true self starts with a simple, honest connection. Vikram: Let me guess. You're home, lying in bed, staring at your phone, wondering when I'll text you. She rolled her eyes, smiling as she typed back. Alizeh: Wrong. I just got home after a 12-hour day at work. Some of us have real jobs, you know. Vikram: Ah, yes, the life of a corporate minion. How's that working out for you? Still drowning in Excel sheets? Alizeh: Pretty much. But it's not just Excel sheets. I've been shadowing senior consultants, attending client.

Inbetween by Luckyone444

Hello, I don't write to inform you or to show you my life story. I write to show that you can move on from the past and let go. The only way you can move on it is to forgive yourself and the people who have hurt your soul. I write for the damaged, to let them know I see them suffering in silence. This book is about overcoming the hells of life and letting yourself enjoy the good things that you have. I wrote this when I was going through a really hard time in my own life. This book was my safe place. It's a place for me to express my feelings and to be 100% open with myself. I hope this makes you think about what you can do to start healing and how we have an effect on others. Treat yourself kindly, and be gentle.

Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Taken Captive by RTEUYTAT

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood?

The Weight Of Expectations by Hopemona2020

In this raw and unflinching memoir, I share my deeply personal struggle to find acceptance and belonging in a society that often seeks to marginalize and shame those who don't fit the mold. With unapologetic honesty, I recount my experiences growing up fat in a thin-obsessed world, navigating the complexities of body image, self-worth, and identity. From the painful sting of bullying and fat-shaming to the liberating power of self-love and acceptance, I take readers on a journey of resilience, self-discovery, and ultimately, triumph. With humor, vulnerability, and fierce determination, I challenge societal norms and confront the harsh realities of living in a body that doesn't conform. This memoir is my story of finding my voice, claiming my space, and learning to love myself in a world that doesn't always love me back. I share my struggles, my fears, and my moments of triumph, in the hopes that my story will inspire others to do the same. *I hold no rights over the Cover*
