He just wanted to be himself, and the world wouldn't let him. Expectations and obligations swallowed him whole. I'm surprised how strong he stood, not letting those thieves steal his spirit. 
But when we lose a part of ourselves, it's never completely lost. It just becomes another brick on the wall that separates us from the rest of the world. And when that wall gets a little too high for us to control, it crumbles down on top of us and we get crushed by the things we've struggled to understand about ourselves: The things that make us who we are.All Rights Reserved

The Path We Take by NeighborhoodARMY

The light at the end of the tunnel is not the people who make you feel weightless, even though we believe that it is and suddenly stop looking and start giving up on improving yourself. We stop going through the doors but in reality its not the people who push you. Its yourself finishing the puzzle of who you are, the path we take does not mean you ever have to stop taking your own path.

School is her only escape, a safe haven she shares with her three best friends. They keep each other sane without even realizing it. It's always been the four of them. Until they meet them. Until she meets ℎ𝑖𝑚. Booker stopped caring a long time ago. Between taking care of his sick grandma, dodging bullets and keeping up with school, life is just something he's pushing through.

The Flipside by tansawyerdavis

She was just a teen, she wanted to be loved and to love someone. what happens is a mystery. Life's a climb, but the view is great. It's a small story and maybe not as fancy as the others, but really close to me. hope you like it.

(Unedited) "You weren't here! You haven't been in a long time so stop trying to act like you were." Willow grew up in a house with six brothers, one of them being her twin. She's grown up in a two bedroom apartment with an alcoholic mother who never managed to pay the bills on time or even buy food, so the eldest two brother's always took the responsibility, and once they left it was passed on to the next brother. But eventually all her big brother's had left without looking back and it was just her, her twin Wes and their mother whenever she was around. They got along just fine for the next two years, they somehow managed to get through the tough times together and they thought it would stay that way, the two of them against the world. Until their mother got pregnant and they had the responsibility of raising their baby sister at the age of 11. They pulled through and it was now the three of them against the world. They believe they can get through anything and they hope that's true when suddenly the brothers who disappeared years ago start to show up looking to mend their relationship with the twins who hold a deep hatred for their older brothers. Can they fix the broken relationship with the twins and build a new one with their new baby sister? Or is it too late? --- It's better than it sounds.

DRAMA MAGNET by Pk-glitchy

In life it's only when you try to avoid drama that it's drawn to you. And with great JUICY drama comes great BITTER disaster. Terrible decisions with terrible consequences.

What Lies Beneath by HoneyBoo_TooFamous

It seems like we all hit rock bottom at some point in our lives. It feels like no one is there to help us out. "I will never be the same," are the thoughts. "I will never love again," are the actions. The best part about hitting rock bottom is the saying that is heard all the time, "The only way to go is up." This is the story of a boy who lost it all but started with nothing, going through life learning more about friendship, feeling loved for the first time, and finding a true home even if it means leaving everything behind.

Behind every mean girl...there's a tragedy by Winchesters_united

The average human being spends every second of his day fighting against the force of nature to see another day. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of outside forces to take my life away - only myself. Approximately 10 years ago, something happened to me. Something really bad. But I'm not allowed to talk about it. As a way to release my frustration, I give hell to my body and everyone I come in contact with - especially my parents. No one knows about what happened except the ones who did it...and Him. But he didn't stay. Now, he's back and he's not talking either. I want to stop hurting, I need to stop. Make me stop.

Until You (A Theo James Fanfic) by CorkyXP

I don't know how to describe the feeling. It's a little complicated. Everything came crashing down like a ton of bricks. Like a rug was ripped out from under my feet and then in a split second.. I was all alone. Of course I have Riley, and she's my whole life. All I have ever done is to protect her from the world that has turned my heart stone cold. And although Riley makes my life brighter everyday, I knew I was missing something, but I just didn't know what it was. Until him.
