I admired her because she was everything I was not-disciplined, controlled, and always correct. She followed rules like they were written into her, as if life came with a manual she had already memorized. To everyone else, she was perfect. Then she hesitated. What Wasn't Programmed is a story about watching someone flawless confront the one thing they were never prepared for: an emotion that refuses to be explained away.

Hazel Johnson has built her life around control. Every plan, every spreadsheet, every careful breath keeps the world in order-and her heart safely guarded. Christopher "Kit" Shelton is her opposite: brilliant, distracted, and impossible to contain. His world is built on improvisation and instinct, not rules. When they're forced to co-lead a high-stakes project, Hazel braces for chaos. Instead, she finds something she never planned for-a quiet understanding that disarms her defenses. Through late nights, shared failures, and the fragile honesty of two people learning to trust again, they discover that love isn't about perfection. It's about learning what-and who-you can let in. A story of balance, belonging, and the space between control and connection.

One mistake, one misstep, and suddenly it's all anyone remembers. The triumphs, the struggles, the person we once were - all overshadowed by a single flaw. We're defined by our mistakes, not our merits. And in a world that weighs our errors more heavily than our achievements, it's no wonder we strive for perfection. But what if we could rewrite the narrative? What if we could learn to see ourselves beyond the mistakes, and find freedom in our imperfections? ©ALL RIGHTS RESERVED²⁵

"My Scars" is a powerful and heart-wrenching coming-of-age story that follows Lina Rivera, a teenage girl drowning in silence beneath the weight of society's impossible standards of beauty. Invisible to most and unkind to herself, Lina believes that perfection is the price of love and validation. She worships the flawless faces she sees online, hides her pain under makeup, and punishes her body in secret - chasing a reflection that never loves her back. But behind every scar lies a story, and when Lina's hidden world begins to unravel, she is forced to confront the pain she's tried so hard to hide. A near-tragic breaking point leads her down a path of self-discovery, where therapy, friendship, and unexpected acts of kindness begin to reveal the truth: she was never meant to fit into someone else's mold. As she battles her inner demons, Lina begins to understand that real beauty isn't skin-deep - it shines from within. With raw honesty and growing strength, she turns her scars into a message of hope for others like her. "My Scars" is not just her story - it's the story of every girl who has ever felt like she wasn't enough. A deeply emotional journey about pain, recovery, and self-love, "My Scars" is a reminder that you don't have to change a thing - the world can change its heart.

This is your drunken, slurring, 3 am reminder of the past and how we failed...so much so that we never broke up. These incoming tipsy blubbering calls are to heal and fix ourselves so we can end our pathetic ties. But what if these drunken calls bring us closer together than we ever were? A heartwarming story served up on an extra platter of drunken burps, regrets, and secrets but the question that plagues them both is: who'll disconnect the line forever? cover made by @ParisLove-

For twenty-five days I stayed in a "behavioral medicine facility" for being suicidal. During my final days I began to write poetry to pass the time. These are twenty of those poems.

Is there such a thing as perfection? If you did not make mistakes, would you lead a better life? Do objective goals make a man happy? This short story explores these philosophical questions through the eyes of a time traveller, but with a twist.

"Maybe I wasn't born to follow the light. Maybe I was meant to create my own." - M In a world, ruled under a perfectionism queen, where all of the villagers with a good soul must attend a perfectionism academy. We were always taught how to be kind, perfectly neat, that evil was forbidden. But suddenly... I was born. I was born with an evil personality, in an angelic family. As a child, I was raised with the belief that the Light was everything, the only force worth serving. But not until they betrayed me. Until they feared the power growing inside me. That was the day Morgan died... and the Queen of Eclipse rose. Now, I rule the forgotten lands, the realm they tried to erase. I do not seek war, but I will not kneel. Light and darkness are not enemies. They are equals. And I? I am both. I am the shadow in the sun, the calm before the storm. I am the queen they tried to destroy... and I will be the one they can never forget.

I guess I'm just tired. Tired of being bitched about behind my back. Tired of being laughed at. Tired of being made fun of. Tired of feeling imperfect. Tired of feeling worthless. Tired of being compared too. Tired of feeling useless. Tired of feeling guilty. Tired of pretending to be perfect, when in reality I'm beyond being Ms. Perfectionist. Because darling, the true reality is that Ms. Perfectionist is broken beyond repair but no one cares enough to notice. Except Mitchell Fontain.

Like water and oil could be a good description of who we were. She insisted on fixing him. But failed. She broke him even more. She lost him for trying to change who he was. This isn't a love story its a heartbreak story. Sometimes love is actually lust.

The pill is lodged in my throat. I feel it there, a solid lump at the hollow of my neck. I run my fingers along the bumpy spine of my windpipe, pressing lightly to coax the pill down. But it won't budge. I gulp a glass of water and then swallow again, testing. The stuck feeling is still there. Like always. ********** Seventeen-year-old Ali Bishop is smart, responsible, and focused on the future.
