Mindovermattercontest Stories

(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.

Sarcasm, Sadness, Stupidity = Me

That feeling of that you'll never be enough. The feeling of being too fat or ugly to fit in or be able to pass in the world. The feeling of being useless. I know that feeling, I used to feel it all the time. At school, at home, with friends, in everyday life. This shows how things get better with a helping hand in 500 words or less. My entry for the #MindOverMatterContest. I hope you enjoy. And if you feel the same in anyway know your not alone. Also special thanks to my best friend who helped me overcome my own self hatred. Love you boo! #615 in ChickLit for 2 days #486 in ChickLit for a day

A beautiful story chronicling the inner struggle faced by a young high school girl during what should be an exciting trip to the mall. Short and sweet, we see the power that kinds words can have for those who struggle with self-esteem issues.

This is my entry for the Mind Over Matter Contest. It's incredibly personal to me. It is a poem about being a misfit, falling into a depression (which, in my case, caused me to be a bit psychotic at one point; I promise I'm past that now), and overcoming it by finding acceptance and focusing on the good.

A short story about Bridgette Fox and her strong desire to win the USA National Swimming Championships in the longest event they have: the mile. Her chance of winning are very slim and worst of all, she is being bullied by the rest of her team. From excluding her from the team area to vulgar comments, Bridgette just wants to give up.

All of last year, I was criticized/bullied at my school, along with dealing with the death of my father, and this story shows how I overcame that. It's very true, and nothing about this story is fake except that my real name isn't Scarlett Tomlinson. Just my entry for the #MindOverMatter.
