Existing.

When some of us are breaking,
some are boarding planes with brand-new passports,
some just got the job, the degree, the ring, the baby,
and some still wake up at 3 a.m. asking "is this all?"

Some are surviving the wreckage,
some are dancing through chaos,
some are cradling loss like an old scar,
and some are claiming the win they never saw coming.

No sermons.
Only soft truths, late-night thoughts, and the gentle reminder that your page is still being written-through the falls, the fights, the fragile triumphs.
If you've ever felt too much or not enough,
this is your silent companion.

Flip Sides Of The Same Coin We Call Life by RobertBHall
39 parts Complete
This romance autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 72 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope is gone, unrelenting loneliness and extremely deep re-occurring depressions. Flip sides of the same coin we call life. I've survived impossible accidents that should have killed me. I've filed bankruptcy twice, loosing half a million dollars of real estate. I haven't had a car in 10 years, rent a furnished apartment and all I own is a cellphone, television, and computer. I've had 20 different careers. Naming a few, I've been a foreman in a steel foundry, automobile salesman, district manager overseeing a 15-million-dollar territory, owner of a television/appliance retail company, store manager responsible for 80 employees, retail manager in the cellular industry, and a dealer for one of the largest casinos in the nation. Some of the wise decisions I thought I was making turned out to be really ridiculous. When writing these down, I wondered how on earth could I have possibly been that stupid. You'll find many that are quite hilarious. I started jotting down thoughts on a cell phone memo pad over 15 years ago. These writings have turned into eighteen manuscripts. An author has the natural talent to paint pictures with words; I do not possess that skill set. Quite by accident, I've developed into a writer. We are entering into an era of magnificent beauty, perfect harmony, perpetual joy, growing wisdom, pure truth, unending peace and unconditional love. You'll read of miracles that I and others have personally witnessed. There are no other logical explanations for what occurred. I've documented everything as accurately as memory permits. Read with an open mind and develop your own conclusions. Our awakening transcendence is occurring now. Bob
Still, She Hoped by just_yvette
38 parts Ongoing
She's a girl with a hopelessly romantic heart-someone who's always believed in soulmates, late-night talks, and love that feels like home. But reality hasn't been kind. Time after time, she's been cheated on, left to pick up the pieces of promises broken and dreams torn apart. Still, she holds onto hope, even when it hurts. Then, just when she's about to give up on love entirely, someone new enters her life. Unexpected. Gentle. Different. For the first time in a long while, she dares to believe again. She lets herself fall. And just when her heart begins to feel safe, he breaks it too-leaving her more lost than ever. She's a hopeless romantic-someone who's always dreamed of deep, lasting love, the kind that feels like fate and fills every quiet space in her heart. But life hasn't followed the script she imagined. She's been cheated on more times than she can count, each betrayal carving a deeper wound, each lie dimming the light inside her. Still, she keeps hoping. Her mind is a storm-racing thoughts, endless questions, memories she can't escape. Why wasn't she enough? Will anyone ever stay? She tries to make sense of the chaos, holding onto that small, fragile thread of belief that love is still out there. Then someone new arrives-unexpected and warm, just different enough to make her believe that maybe, just maybe, things will be different this time. She opens her heart again. She lets herself feel. But the pattern repeats. He leaves. And the pain hits harder, because this time she truly thought it would last. Now, with too much on her mind and a heart full of silent screams, she stands at the edge of hope and heartbreak, still wishing-against all odds-that real love will find her. "She believed in love, even after being broken again and again. With a mind full of storms and a heart full of cracks, she still hoped someone would choose to stay."
Enchanted Love: The PAST-The PRESENT by NiharikaUniverse
27 parts Ongoing Mature
~TOUCH HER AND SHE'LL KILL YOU~ They say the worst pain is losing someone. They're wrong. The real pain is knowing everything - every lie in a smile, every betrayal wrapped in love, every truth people try to bury. I see it all. I understand everyone... except myself. People look at me and see elegance, confidence, sharp intelligence. What they don't see is the silence I live in - a silence so loud it drowns my heartbeat. I used to think someone might come for me one day. Someone who wouldn't fear my mind or my power. Someone who would stay. But that kind of hope died when my parents did. Now I exist for one thing - revenge. No love. No attachments. No weakness. I don't need anyone. At least, that's the story I tell myself. - RAVEN ~~~ People fear heartbreak, betrayal, death. But you know what I fear? A life with no direction - drifting in an endless sea where strength means nothing. Everyone believes I'm the strongest man alive. The truth? Even mountains crumble if they stand alone too long. I've won wars, built empires, crushed enemies. But none of it fills the emptiness gnawing inside me. I move. I breathe. I survive. But I don't live. Some nights, I think what I really need isn't power... but a reason. A gravity strong enough to pull me out of the ocean I'm sinking in. A person who sees me - not the monster the world bows to. Until then, I drift. Silent, controlled, starving for something I'll never admit I want. - ARES

All Shades Of Blood

36 parts Complete Mature

It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed. That someone could be that important. That without them, you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it's over, and it's gone. You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back. So that you could have the good.
