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.

"You can't rely on other people's kindness in this world. It don't exist." Normal people are like oblivious little ants, just working their way around, carry food, part of a bigger picture. People are so bland and mundane, each of them trying to be like the others. I suppose I'm no different- I'm trying to fit in too. However, a crippling obsession to avenge my only friend's death is getting in the way of that. If I want to get on with my life, I need to learn to come to terms with my past in a way that's less likely to get me killed.Complete
A small inspiration
Hey guys! I am new to wattpad, and this is my first story. In simple words a very basic journey of life. I want to tell you my problems, academic and of life, and how I managed to face them. This book will cover all the topics containing psychology and without psychology that I found helpful, and that I would highly recommend someone who wishes to improve themselves. So let's begin! What are beliefs? What is mindset and which one should you have? Have you experienced real happiness in life?Complete
Amused Man
Why does my mind behave in the way that it does? I don't think that I think as others do. So many things in life that folk seem to accept without question, seem utterly bizarre to me. I wrote this novel to explore these questions. This is NOT an autobiography. Any comments, observations, feedback, suggestions, both negative and positive are most welcome. Thanks - Rob.Complete

No! Don't prejudge the story by the cover. (Though this is the most appropriate and best one.) No! You need not like what I am saying. No! You need not agree with me. And ... No! You need not criticise my work. Of course, you can critically analyse my work. But, since I am not rude to any of you, since we don't hold personal grudges against each other, since I am just trying to express my views in a very friendly manner; you too need not be rude to me. If you do not like what I am trying to tell, you can definitely stop reading at that moment. If you want to share something or correct me, you can definitely do it, since I love learning. I humbly accept the truth that I know nothing. But whatever tiny piece of extra work my tiny brain does, I try to put it out in this huge world.Complete

But I always have loved talking. lol. So, why not put it to a good use and also I really don't give terrible solutions so, I figured this would be the best 💕 and also, guys I know a lot of us are afraid of being vulnerable but it is the most beautiful part of being human 🌈💨 A human has emotions, and they're intelligent enough to speak them ⏳👀 They're surrounded by people like their own and as dark as the world might be, humanity, love, empathy, compassion all of these positive things will never seize to exist 💜✨ So, as we go on adding stories to this series I hope it'll help you all out and it will heal us all in some way or the other 💘🕊 Thank you and right now, I won't be posting anything.

One World
I believe that if the World's population act cooperatively then people could help one another out of difficulties and build a global paradise for everyone to enjoy for all time to come. Throughout 2016 I published 53 blog posts arguing the case for global cooperation. I invented short stories, produced comparative tables, wrote essays and discussed the work of others all with the objective of persuading my readers to contemplate this better way to optimise the happiness of all sentient beings on Earth. Specifically, I propose the following simple 'constitution' for the people of Earth: - "All people do what is best for all people, for all time to come." This book comprises all of my 53 blog posts for each week of 2016. Regardless of where you lie on the spectrum of humanity, somewhere between completely selfish and purely selfless, I believe this book offers persuasive arguments for global cooperation to build an enduring paradise on Earth for everyone to enjoy. This book is absolutely free to read here on Wattpad, and includes Youtube video links. However, if you'd prefer to purchase a kindle or paperback version of 'One World' go to Amazon and search for 'One World by Alistair Drummond' or go to: https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-World-Alistair-Drummond-ebook/dp/B07D389R7NComplete
