Mindovermattercontest Stories

locked away and mentally abused my story of over coming, but little of the end. My story is still being written everyday. No way, is it over. Based on true events, currently being written. Note: based on true events. But some is false. A sense of fiction with facts. I leave it to you to choose which is which. I try to update my story everyday, but with school starting i might have to do it every other day. Thank you all so much for your support! Pictures found on pintrest.

when you are depressed and just feel dead inside and all that's left is writing

Entry for the #MindOverMatterContest about self acceptance.

This is my submission for the Mind Over Matter contest. It is non-fiction, this really happened to me. I hope you enjoy it, feel free to comment!

I delve into the thoughts that plague me and realize something transformative: the flow of negativity I once thought was endless can be stemmed. Like wiping away the fog from a mirror after a steamy shower, my vision clears, and I can see again. Positive thought is the sharpest sword.

This is for a challenge for a movie that I loved called to the bone. It's about a twenty year old named "Eli" as she preferred to be called so yea watch it on Netflix,Well this is my story Im fighting anorexia yea scary huh well find out my story in this 500 word story.

So I decided to enter the #MindOverMatterContest and tell the story of how I overcame my horrible Insecurity through Middle School. (The cover photo is actually me)

A short story/poem about my journey with self love. (#MindOverMatterContest) Word Count: 500

She is Fire. He is Ice. They hate what they are but they realize they are more than what is on the surface. Entry for To The Bone's "Mind Over Matter" contest.

"I'm fine" I say that a 1,000 times a day, but it is never true. I just want to be fine

(A personal piece chosen to be in the top 10 for the Mind Over Matter Contest) Please don't hesitate to view my other works as well as request a cover from my cover book! :) The world thrives on pain. It is never about the happy ending, the prize, reward or the success. Life is about the journey. How we got there, what we had to endure. It's about the pain we all feel. The pain that pushes us forward but can also throw us so far back in our progress. At least, that's how I see it. You can't have happiness without sadness or success without failure. I thought my life was perfect, glorious, spotless. I was content with myself and the future that I was producing. That was all before everything changed. I became tired, confused, lonely and the only thing I could truly blame was my own head, my own thoughts. I had to learn the true meaning of being myself and how to want to live again. The thoughts in my head, constantly manipulating me, insulting me, tearing me apart slowly and fading out all of my originality, were relentless. This 500 word piece shows my struggle, my failure, my regret but also, describes my success, my future, and my happiness. I could not be where I am now without this hardship, without learning how to make the voices hush.

You're not good enough. The single thought that bombarded my mind throughout middle and high school. Reaching a dangerous low, I figured out how to overcome my falling self-confidence and become the courageous person I am today. #MindOverMatterContest

Poem The song credits are in the video

After looking at a few other entries, I realized that nothing of as much significance has happened to me. But then I remembered that there was people just like me who still didn't feel right although they have a near perfect life. So this is my story about how my I had a internal battle with myself about society and what I did to make the feelings go away. Disclaimer: The cover image is not mine, I am posting this last minute so I didn't have time to create one.
