Memoir Stories

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.

Being Indian American feels like living in a pressure cooker wrapped in a smile. You're told to be perfect, productive, palatable - never loud, never intimidating. But travel to India, and you'll meet folks who are bold, stylish, confident, and unapologetically gangsta. DEAR DIASPORA, YOU'RE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER is a sharp, personal callout - not to India, but to the suffocating performance of "representation," perfectionism and intraracial competition that dominates Desi life in the West. This isn't a sob story - it's a truth bomb. A cultural essay that demands real freedom, not filtered branding. If you're ready to sip some realness, break free from the cage of expectations, and find your max pro aura - this is for you. 🍋 Bold. Tart. Sweet. Unfiltered. 🍋 Just like a glass of limeade on a hot day.

Thot of thoughts: 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 This is meant to be an historical document from an critical voice.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. Its apart of an omnibus. Planed by me.

Some houses don't have walls. Some don't have corners. And some follow you long after you leave. Lucy learned to survive early - managing her mother's moods, moving endlessly, and becoming invisible to stay safe. By adulthood, she believed she had escaped her childhood. She was wrong. When she returned years later, hoping for reconciliation, she was pulled back into the same roles - and forced to confront a devastating truth about love, guilt, and abandonment. The House with No Corners is a raw, lyrical memoir about growing up too fast, being the emotional caretaker as a child, and the long journey toward reclaiming the self that was left behind. This book is for anyone who has ever wondered: Why do I keep choosing the same pain? And Who would I be if I finally chose myself?

This is not a story of perfection. It's a tale of messy truths, of thoughts I was too afraid to share or say out loud-until now.

Stitching life's tales together any which way... This is a patchwork collection of accounts from my life. Every word is true! Well, ALMOST every word. Some tales need just a little embroidery.

I learned to fish before I learned how to pray. Before I understood faith, I understood waiting. This is a story about growing up in the space between violence and silence, where God was spoken of but rarely felt, and survival came before belief. Told through memory, scripture, and the quiet language of water, Fishing for God traces a childhood shaped by addiction, neglect, and displacement, and a faith that never fully left, even when it stopped answering. For readers who have loved God and felt unseen by Him. For those who stopped asking, but never stopped thirsting.

No filters. No edits. No apologies. Unedited, Unapologetic - ft.

Read it if you believe the truth doesn't need polishing.

Almost all my relatives live in a different city or state, and I have no friends in my area. Yet I want it to stay this way. I have a distaste for real worlders as a whole. Why? Just see them from my point of view. Please respect my opinions.

For ten years, Moji Hassan lived between two worlds - the ordinary world and the vivid, consuming realms of schizophrenia. This memoir traces his winding journey through delusions, spiritual battles, fear, medication trials, and ultimately, a profound return to stability and self. With honesty and warmth, he shares what helped, what harmed, what families should know, and how healing unfolds slowly but powerfully over time. The Path Back is a story for anyone touched by mental illness: a reminder that recovery is real, that identity can be rebuilt, and that life after psychosis can be full of meaning, love, and hope.

She spent years hiding her pain behind quiet smiles and unspoken thoughts. This is her story - the things she never said, the feelings she tried to bury, and the healing she never expected to find. "The Quiet Between My Words" is a raw, honest, and personal journey of a girl learning to survive her silence. A real story. A real heart. A voice finally choosing to speak.

I have come to realise that I previously published several different stories that I now feel should belong under one category or book. So, I am going to tweak, re post and add new chapters under this one book. I used to journal a lot about my transition from childhood to adulthood, but as a few years have passed, I feel there are still many unprocessed emotions lingering, clouded in the mist of my mind (and heart?). I am using this as an outlet to release those emotions and hope to stick with it, continuing to express myself in a thoughtful and articulated way. I often find it difficult to self-reflect until I put my thoughts on paper or talk to someone and work through my emotions, so I'm giving journaling on Wattpad another try.

From online entertainment pioneer, actress, and “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a funny, quirky, and inspiring memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world. From Felicia: "The heart of my story is that the world opened up for me once I decided to embrace who I am—unapologetically. My story demonstrates that there’s no better time in history to have a dream and be able to reach an audience with your art. Or just be as weird as you want to be and not have to be ashamed. That lesson’s just as legit." Share how you #embraceyourweird in the comments of each excerpt!
