A short story about a mother with intense regrets briefly stepping into an alternative past to right some perceived wrongs at a critical time in her life. There are themes of self hatred and dealing with depressive symptoms which can be uncomfortable to read about. As someone who has been through these struggles, I write on these topics to help other people who have experienced these feelings feel seen.

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10KKumpleto
Glass Heart
Just a short story I wrote and am very proud of, TWs include mental illness, death of family, teen pregnancy (breif mentions), neglect, toxic home life, suicide, depression, self harm, running away, self-loathing, breaking mirrors and the recovery process of mental illness. List of help lines if needed: https://checkpointorg.com/global/ (btw there's so much symbolism it would make my English teacher proud and the writing style is also strange at best, good luck)Kumpleto
Hiraeth
(n.) a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past "Dean... I made a really big mistake." For a second, Dean actually thought things were going okay. He was out of Hell, Sam agreed to stop drinking demon blood, they had just wrapped up a successful hunt... for once, everything was okay. And then it wasn't. "I overdosed." Not at all.Kumpleto

The Way We Fell Apart
Mercy and James thought they were each other's safe haven but love isn't always enough to keep two broken people together. Mercy was never easy to love. Toxic habits, unresolved pain, and a past filled with emotional scars made it impossible for her to let anyone get too close. James, on the other hand, had his own demons-ones that threatened to tear him apart. But they held on to each other, convinced that their love was the cure for everything. When things start to spiral, they both realize that staying together might destroy them even more. As their love battles with misunderstandings, and deep-seated fears, Mercy is forced to confront her own past, her unresolved trauma, and the truths she's been running from. Will their love be the thing that breaks them, or the thing that saves them? #1 in selfworth on the 9/2/2025
