    Content Warning: This story explores experiences of domestic violence and child abuse. While not graphic, the themes may be confronting. Please take care while reading. If this brings anything up for you, you are not alone. Support is available: Call 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) . 🌿 Still, She Echoes - Series Blurb Some stories begin with childhood laughter. Others begin with silence. For Lorna, childhood was never just a beginning-it was a landscape of love, loss, and everything in between. From the warmth of her grandmother's arms to the confusion of goodbye, from imaginary friends to real-life heartbreak, she grew up learning how to survive in a world that often felt too heavy for a child to understand. In a home filled with music, chaos, tenderness, and fracture lines no one spoke about, she learned early that love and pain often lived in the same room. That people could stay... and still disappear in every way that mattered. And that sometimes, the only place a child can safely hold the truth is inside their own silence. Through fading innocence, fractured family bonds, and moments of unexpected beauty, Still, She Echoes is a deeply personal memoir of growing up too soon-of witnessing life in all its raw, unfiltered complexity, and learning to piece together meaning from what was left behind. It is about the questions children ask when no one is ready to answer them. It is about the memories that don't fade, even when you wish they would. And it is about the quiet strength it takes to finally stop carrying what was never yours to hold. Because some echoes never leave you. They simply become part of who you are. ✨Please leave comments...everywhere. Im excited to connect with others.

    All my life, all I have known is "go with the flow..." keep your head down and follow. I have never been a leader but then one day something clicked, my loneliness consumed me and suddenly it felt like saying YES to everything wasn't good enough. I felt like I was a bad friend, I felt like I didn't deserve help and I felt my problems and struggles were insignificant in the face of others happiness. So this short poem is my battle cry, a way to tell myself that its ok to have a voice and to sometimes let a loved one down, for the sake of my mental health and to speak up. ps. I have never shared any poetry of mine with anyone cause I never thought they were good enough, so this is me taking the first step to being brave. I would love to know your feedback and the constructive criticism any of you have to offer. Hope you enjoy it.☺️

    I do not exist. I only observe. The human I was assigned to has always chosen safety over courage. Ordinary over extraordinary. Silence over attention. But this human can hear what others try to hide-the fear behind forced smiles, the pain buried beneath excuses. When a boy at school begins to shrink under bruises and whispered threats, silence becomes heavier than fear. Reporting it once changes nothing. Walking away becomes harder each day. This is not a story about powers. It's a story about choice. Because sometimes bravery isn't loud. Sometimes it's just refusing to look away.

    Daniella Grey is the girl with the seemingly perfect life. Perfect looks, perfect boyfriend, perfect home, perfect life. But nobody can see through closed doors, or the mask she puts on to hide the truth. Her father, a successful business man by day, is a hardcore drunk at night, beating her mother and siblings, not to mention herself. The only place she finds solace is in her room, a brilliant silver blade in her hand. How can she possibly have it good when every moment feels like hell?

    First of all: TW!!!! This book will very much likely contain triggering topics, like sh, ed or sa, so be aware of that before you read!!!!!! hi guys first of all, english is not my native language so sorry if i spell some thing incorrectly but dont expect high things from this cuz this is not a tipical book you would read here. Anyways i dont know what to stay, just read whats below, then you can decide wether to read it or not.♡ so actually i wouldnt say that this is a story that i just created in my head,but i would like to make this about myself. i know i know it sounds weird but i know that there are a lot of people who struggle with mental health issues and noone cares for it or if they would they just dont understand. and nowdays i experience these kind of things and i cant deal with it alone so i decided that i would write this with a complietly new account that none of my friends or relatives know about. but anyways i dont know what else to write here, cuz its a long ass story. i would probably say that this book will be about a normal persons problems, just being and avarage teen or something like that. just normal days with a ruind mental health. yeah that sound perfectly like a normal teen. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Anyways i know this sounds boring as hell but i also make this to let people know that theyre not alone and if anyone wants to speak up for themselves, they can here. I know that im boring, i know that i dont have the rights to complain about things, cuz i dont have big problems. But still i decided to speak up, i decided that i took enough of not being heard. So if you feel the same, i want you to know, that im here and i will listen. I want this books comment section to be a safe place for everybody, where you can say whatever is one your mind. Im not gonna judge you, i will only listen. So if youre still reading this YOU ARE NOT ALONE BABE♡♡♡ Sorry for the bad picture, im n
