If we do not allow ourselves to mourn our losses, our unfulfilled dreams, what has been taken from us and what we have not achieved, we build walls around ourselves that become our own prison. Today I want to stop being my own hostage and dismantle what I have spent so many years building.
I am driven by freedom and the desire to see how my life will change when I accept what has happened to me and forgive myself for what I have done.
This book is part of my healing, my acceptance of the girl who went through it all and didn't break, who thought she was worthless and unworthy of happiness, but who is on her way to happiness.

Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering".

Shadows of a broken heart
Prologue: (Completed) The girl who once dreamed of freedom now knows nothing but survival. Every day is a fight against the darkness that haunts her, a fight against the fists of a father and the cold cruelty of a stepmother. The home that should have been a sanctuary is instead a prison, and she is its unwilling captive. From a young age, she learned to shut off her emotions, to block out the pain, because if she didn't, it would swallow her whole. In the silence of the house, where every corner is filled with fear, she is nothing more than a shadow, invisible and ignored, except when they need someone to blame. But buried beneath the numbness, a flicker of something remains-something that refuses to die. A longing for a life beyond this suffocating world. She doesn't know it yet, but salvation is on the way. One day, a secret is uncovered: the family she's known her whole life isn't hers at all. There's another family out there, a powerful one, a mafia family, who has been searching for her. They're ready to take her in, to protect her, to give her a life she never imagined possible. But trust doesn't come easy for a girl who's been broken. And even in the arms of a family that loves her, the ghosts of her past will not let her go. The road ahead will be filled with tension, secrets, and the undeniable pull of revenge. She's been taught to feel nothing, but to heal, she must learn to feel again.
Scars and Roots: The Whisper of a Broken Past
She was the girl who carried the weight of the past on her shoulders, who endured pain in silence. Now, she is the woman who carries hope instead of pain. She walks with her head held high, smiles with more light, and moves forward with a strength she never knew she had. YOU ARE NOT YOUR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA You are not the pain you have lived through. You are not the wounds that have scarred you. You are the strength you found to rise again, the light you chose to follow, the future you decided to build. Your story is not just what happened to you, but what you choose to become.
the cracks that appear
this is a story based on events that took place in my life, some chapters are fiction and are not. the book indulges of dreams that once crossed my mind. the book also gives a deep understanding of my past and how i became the woman i am today. Please share. Don't believe everything is about one person when it's not, with this you can see the layers and the thinking behind most of my choicesComplete
Lost In The Mind of Me
Laid upon the pages of this book is a story. This is an autobiography. I struggled with writing this and, as you will soon understand, though I knew how to write it, writing it and thinking about it was difficult. I have not labeled the chapters in hopes that you will read all the way through. You may understand me a little more if you do so, but, on the same note, you may end up hating me. I do not know what your reaction will be, but I will allow your opinion of me. I give you full permission to judge me, only when you read everything. This is on my struggles with mental illness, traumatic events, my opinions, my thoughts, my feelings; this is a tour of my mind. Be warned, it's dark and haunted. But I felt it important for me to write this, so maybe I can overcome it. Thank you for picking this text to enlighten you. I am not the smartest, nor am I the wisest, but I will do my best to paint a delicate image in your mind by how I string together my semblant words.Complete
