Memoir Stories

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

What if the things I kept in silence are the things you've been hiding too? These are a compilation of my unspoken truths. But the question is... are you ready to listen?

My roommate is human - unfortunately, not a cat. She believes I'm her pet, but she's wrong. I'm TonTon, a proud feline philosopher who rules his small kingdom with wit, patience, and dignity. From misunderstanding the "litter pan game" to teaching my human roommate about love, respect, and the art of coexistence, my story traces a lifetime of trials and joys shared between two species. Based on the true life of an extraordinary cat, My Roommate Is Not a Cat is a humorous yet heartwarming tale of intelligence, loyalty, and the silent love that never fades.

A nonviolence manifesto from one Georgia trans girls life long struggle with recovery to transition. I have been thinking a lot lately. More in an ai chat. Literally dealing with the world itself as I try to get to where I can write. Dealing with mental illness. Literally transitioning in this political climate. Might make a good autobiography One day. The following is a journal of my last years. Literally plan to thrive. Editing passes to come. This is meant to be an historical document from an critical voice. Yes me. A trans girl in the middle of societal scapegoating and possibly societal collapse. It is important to learn from the past. So learning from by while making something to be learned from. This is why I am posting it.

Two strangers in their mid-sixties come together to turn their dreams into reality. Their three-year adventure takes them through extreme sailing in some of the wildest and most remote waters on the planet, and they do it in comfort and style. Many parts of this book read like Action/Adventure novels and, at times, Thrillers. Some of the experiences, both afloat and ashore, are so incredible that some might consider them Fantasies. But it all happened, and as the adventure unfolded, I wrote a blog that gained over 3,000 daily views and grew beyond a million words and over 2,500 images. This is a condensed rewrite of that blog, but with Wattpad's limit of twenty images per chapter, I've included only 2,450 here.

"The Story I Never Told" Some stories are not written... they are lived quietly, carried silently, and hidden deep inside a heart that learned to survive more than it ever admitted. This is the story of Rishma, a girl born with her twin brother- two lives that began together, yet experienced the world in completely different ways. From a noisy home that often felt silent, to school fights about which place they should study, to innocent childhood cracks that shaped who she became... Her journey moves through: ✨ The struggles no one noticed ✨ The moments that broke her ✨ The friendships that healed her ✨ The memories that made her laugh ✨ School trips, 10th class chaos, and farewell tears ✨ Board exam fears and the long wait for results ✨ Growing up quietly, strongly, and differently It's not a perfect story. It's not a dramatic story. It's real. A story of emotions, family, school days, love between siblings, laughter, fear, and unexpected strength. A journey many lived... but never had the courage to tell. Until now.

This story is a personal memoir

A tote bag of her things left by the bin and a goodbye email will be left behind as Maja begins her healing journey. Except, they always come back.

This Wattpad Anthology Winner is a collection of fifty-two of the short stories I've written for the Weekend Write-In challenges. Each story is exactly five hundred words long, except for two which specified one thousand words. From the beginning, I have taken the challenge further by using interpretations of the prompt that differ, sometimes dramatically, from those that usually come to mind.
