This is a memoir of one of the most unforgettable events in my life. I've previously written a short story in which the reader is the main character, and has a flashback to this event, but the short story lacked the full detail and understanding of what really happened, and was partly fiction. This work is fully non-fiction, and fully encompasses every detail I can remember.

I love you 3000
** She spent her childhood searching for love in all the wrong places - longing for a father's approval that never came, comparing herself to a sister she could never measure up to, and carrying the weight of the words that told her she would never be enough. Through heartbreak, silence, and the scars of trauma, she learned how pain lingers in the body, how it shapes the way we see ourselves, and how it can steal the joy from even the brightest moments. but she also discovered something else: that healing is possible, even when the past feels unbearable. Told with raw honesty and unflinching vulnerability, this memoir is a journey through childhood wounds, family secrets, and the quiet battles of self-worth. It is about learning to face the mirror, to confront the lies we have been told, and to find strength in the very places we once felt broken. For anyone who has ever felt unseen, unworthy, or unloved, this story is a reminder that the pain does not define us - and that even in the darkest chapters, hope can still be found.Complete

The Way She Loved Me
Some wounds are invisible. Growing up, the author often felt like an outsider in their own family-watching siblings experience a closeness with their mother that always seemed just beyond reach. While their physical needs were met, the deeper longing for emotional connection remained unfulfilled. The Way She Loved Me is a powerful memoir that delves into the complexities of growing up in a family striving to balance love, survival, and emotional healing. At its heart is my relationship with my mother-a strong African American woman who, against all odds, raised seven children, often on her own. In a world that demanded more than it ever gave, she carried a quiet strength shaped by sacrifice, resilience, and unspoken pain. This memoir illuminates a shared yet often hidden experience within the Black community, where systemic challenges, personal struggles, and the instinct to protect loved ones can give rise to silence. Beneath deep loyalty and love often lie unresolved wounds-pain left unspoken that quietly shapes generations. The Way She Loved Me explores these generational patterns and the cost of emotional suppression, revealing how silence can perpetuate cycles of hardship. By telling my story, I seek to encourage honest conversations, challenge inherited patterns, and inspire the courage required to heal. More than a reflection of my own journey, this book is an invitation-for readers to confront their truths, to stop hiding their pain, and to imagine families rooted in openness, support, and love. It is a call to break the chains of silence.Complete
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".
