This is a collection of original fairytales and fables. Some are funny, some tragic, and some whimsical. They are modern in ways, but also (I hope) timeless. They were written at different points in my life, but are meant to stand together.

THOUGHTLESS │✔️
The words The petals On a flower that Thrives by appearance Is only Will merely Be a flimsy Taste of what's inside Why price By the eyes The symmetry Of flawed beauty As though As most Are weighed by Thoughtless ideals For those Four arrows A small compass Drifting among lost stars There is Much more Than the words Sprinkled on the outside. ~ [Highest ranking: #18 out of 1.4K in 'view' as of 27-08-2019.] © 2018 JadeFoliage, All Rights Reserved All rights reserved.

Dear Reader ( BK 1 OF DEAR READER SERIES)
Dear Reader, She never signed her name. She never asked for pity. She only asked one thing- that you read. Inside these pages is a voice you won't forget. A girl unraveling quietly, honestly, beautifully-one entry at a time. Somewhere between heartbreak and hope, between silence and screaming, she left behind a story for someone to find. You just did. This is not a love story. It's not a fairytale. It's not a cry for attention. It's a mirror for anyone who's ever felt invisible. It's a pulse for the ones still searching for theirs. And maybe-just maybe- it's the one voice that finally says what you've never been able to. Read carefully. She's been waiting for you.Complete

A Little Bit Of Joy | ✔
[Featured by wattpad romance, teen fiction, young adult and psychologicalnovel] Joy Jones was a seventeen-year-old kind and optimistic girl working in her grandpa's flower shop, but she had a secret. She was suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and wanted nothing, but to die peacefully. That was until Logan Kellerman, a young man with suicidal tendencies came storming into her life and stole roses from her grandpa's flower shop. Instead of running away with what he came for, he found himself falling deeper and deeper into her as she made his heart skip in delight, for she was, in her own words, a little bit of Joy. * * * from some of my readers of this book, thanks❤- ❝I LOVE YOUR STORY OKAY.
