Lee's life was touched in many ways by bad things.  Dark things.  Shameful things.  But, Lee always felt that it could have been worse.  That there was always someone who had it worse.  Rather than feel self-pity for what did happen, Lee generally felt relief for what did not.  This kept Lee moving through her life.  When she stumbled, fell to her knees, the mantra would repeat itself in her head, others have it worse.  So, getting back up, Lee would start out again.  Mostly with hope.  Sometimes with just sheer determination.

I'm just sitting down writing.  There is no plan.  This is why the first couple of chapters are short and not very involved.  But, as you will see as you go along, I warm up to my subject.  So, it does get more entertaining.  You just have to be a little patient.  I will eventually re-write the beginning, but don't skip it, because it sets up the rest of the book.

The Moving Times Of Caroline Proudly by CarolineProudly
20 parts Complete
Caroline is 16 when she suddenly decides that her perfectly normal and loving home life is absolutely and completely intolerable. Suddenly moving out of home in 1988 is the beginning of a 13 year journey. As the journey continues, the passage of time has no significance. Always with the ability to find the humorous side, each address marks another chapter in Caroline's life and is the backdrop for the people she meets and the events that occur. Accommodation varies from unheated rooms and houses with wheel-less cars jacked-up outside to Regency flats and rural cottages. Transportation means vary from a single use bicycle, to Betsa and the faithful Dwanetta. Flatmates vary from a lovely Brummie and a singing nun to a dying dog, a ginger laminator, a 3 nippled geek and an accidental spell with a local drugs baron. Events vary from harbouring boarding schoolgirls, exercising racehorses, the occasional rave, trading in shampoo and marmite on toast to looking for stolen laundry, going undercover and self-defence with a hockey stick. Jobs vary from not having one to shop work, bartending and au pair through to getting a toe on the corporate ladder. There is infatuation, and love from various sources so there is also disappointment, and breakups by varying means and for various reasons. Education varies from a bit of formal study to a large dollop of the University of Life. The latter being the real reason Caroline left home in the first place - to grow up in her own way through her own experiences with no-one else to blame but herself and the interesting hand that life deals along the way. Caroline moves home 19 times, only to find that the 20th move takes her to the last place she ever expected to be. Back where she started. Things aren't always as they seem...

~The String of Fate~ discontinued... Well, continued on another account 😁😁 by Bakesale1234

A/N: Guys plz, this story is discontinued on this account. 😭😭 So many people are still putting it in their reading lists that I feel bad. I'm rewriting it on another account, the account is @-_-lemme_sleep (I think) I commented on the last chapter of this story with it so if you just click on the comments on the last chapter you'll see that account. And I'm rewriting it so please red from the beginning. My name is Min Ae-ri Shin ... Or it was that. One day as I was taking a bus home from my college as usual while playing an otome game on my phone since I was regularly one of the last few people to get off the bus an... An incident happened which lead me to an early death. If this had happened a few years ago I would have probably celebrated this. However, since the universe just hates me so much It decided to take me when I was finally free from one of my greatest chains. My "family". But that didn't even compare to what happened next... I thought that after dying I would finally be set free of this crappy world, but instead... I just got transmigrated into a worse one. As the villainess. Now I'm stuck in this damn game trying to get one of the many interests who were supposed to ruin my life as a villainess to kill me so that I could possibly return back to my original world whether it was in my original body or by reincarnation since this damn game wouldn't let me die on my own. Now the question was will I be able to somehow return back to my original world or chained to my dreadful fate as the villainess?

Have you ever had one of those terrible yet annoyingly pivotal moments? You know, that monumental fragment of time that flips everything you have ever known. That plot twist second that completely takes you by surprise. The one just before the storm hits and everything goes to hell. Yes? Because you see, that moment happens to be my whole damn life. It wasn't always like this though. I used to have a pretty mundane existence, happy to just get good grades and be around my friends. God I wish I could get that simplicity back, I'd never complain it was boring again. But I know I'm not going to ever get back my old life because well... I died. (Kinda) But I woke up. And I was thrilled, beyond grateful I wasn't dead. But then I realized that there was one minor detail that had changed about my reality. I was given the chance to live but it turns out I woke up as the villainess in an otome game my friend used to be obsessed with - Kingdom of freaking Hearts (I added the freaking in there for effect, it's just Kingdom of Hearts) Where, for the record, the villainess only has two possible endings 1) execution and 2) getting exiled. So Fate was like, "Don't worry, I'll save you. Here's a chance to live" and then was like "psyche, screw you. You're still going to die but I'll let you suffer a little first." So now, if only to annoy Fate by proving it wrong, I am determined to survive. I can and I will if I play by these simple rules: 1) Befriend Heroin 2) Avoid Aryn Edwards at All Costs as well as other capture targets And 3) Be the top student at the academy and become an invaluable asset to my Kingdom so I become indispensable, thus unkillable. I'm determined, stubborn, persistent and I will live passed 16. Fate made a big mistake setting me up to die. Since it threw this plot twist at me, I figure I'll return the favor. I'll be the biggest plot twist Fate never saw coming...

My Cliche

10 parts Complete Mature

This is basically a book that means a lot to me. Black Veil Brides practically raised me and though a little cliche, saved my life. Then Halsey was introduced into my life and I learned to understand myself and accept who I was, what I was, and all of the present tense versions. BTS came along and then I knew how to be happy with myself. There are steps to everyones life, and these three groups/artists were my steps. I put them together in a story of how I felt at the time of each group being introduced, though it may not be understood. I know some of it is off a little, but it made me happy to write it. So here is my fanfiction. And my Cliche. Celeste Greene had never been a lucky girl. At eight, her father shot her mother and when the suspicion was gone, he beat his daughter. Once she turned thirteen, a new neighbor decided to show pity when hearing a scream. Now, Celeste spends her seventeenth year of life at an abusive orphanage that could easily be compared to prison. As soon as she gave her statement to put her father in jail, she stopped talking, labeled as mute.
