Carpe Stories

making the most of life by penning down some thoughts.

Pavin Jackson has loved the beach ever since she was a little girl. After the passing of her great uncle, her family is left with a beach house located in southern Florida. With her second year of college coming to an end, Pavin and her cousin Cass make the plans to move there for the summer, along with a few of their close friends. However, when moving in means sharing a 4 bedroom house with four musicians and a party girl, Pavin and Cass may regret their decision. The summer brings many changes for the seven friends and they all learn that life truly is a beach. ⓒMissTayls

I've always been known as the bitch in my school, and to be honest, I've never understood why.  Okay, if I'm being really true to myself, I'll admit that I can be annoying, sometimes. And sarcastic. And witty. And I do date a lot of guys. But I wasn't always like this. Not before he happened.  After that summer, I was never the same. You know what they say: once a heart is broken, is really hard to pick up the pieces and put it back together. So now, I chose to enjoy life to the fullest and not care for what people say about me. Carpe Diem and all that shit. They say I'm crazy; I say I just like to have fun. And you know what? Bad girls know how to have a good time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lola Atkins is a good girl turned bad.  The consequences of life turned her into the person she is now, and even though some might say she is crazy, Lola is just your average teenage girl who wants to make the most of her high school experience. With new romances and parties every week, she seems to have it all figured out. But even though Lola has an agitated love life, she doesn't seem to get a certain bad boy out of her head: Nathan O'Malley . To make things worse, he doesn't seem to let her go either. With lots of drama, girl fights, and of course, love, Lola discovers herself during her journey through her last year of high school, that appears to be the best one yet. Is Lola gonna get her happy ending? Is she gonna be able to let go of her past and finally be free to live life as it's supposed to be? Is she gonna be able to fall back in love, even though she believes there's no hope for her anymore? Because when good girls fall in love, they love hard. And when bad girls do, they love harder.

When I feel like crap, when I feel extremely happy, when I feel pissed off- I write a poem. I pour my emotions into my poems and this is a collection of some of them. Oh yeah, and my friend's poems too. Maybe y'all can relate to a few?

This is just an assignment I want some peoples opinions on before I submit it. It's a story about carpe diem and I added queer romance into it

Every day. 10:00 AM on the dot. The unemotional young man would sit on the same park bench, on the same side, with the same cold expression as he edited his book that would most likely fail like all the other ones. Until a young woman in a bright floral dress and red rain boots disrupts his life by sitting in his spot.

Painting was his passion. He could turn any blank piece of paper into something beautiful; something stunning. His hands were blessed with talent, his brain ingenious, the combination of the two making one of the world's most recognized, sprouting artists. Unfortunately, Zayn Malik hadn't been painting for nearly 4 years now. Not after his inspiration left this world; the only person that could motivate him, give him strength. The one that taught him how to fight even when times were getting hard, and the one that made him believe that all his dreams were lying right in the palm of his own hand, but that they would only come to life if he took one step at a time. The one who told him to seize the day.
