Books About Finding Yourself Novels & Stories

This was my last hope. “This is my last hope! This fucking study is…” I would have roared, body trembling and palms sweating when my gaze fell on the bookshelf. “Maybe I'll find a book that will help with my madness after this.” I sighed, giving up. I began to rummage through the covers, hoping for a title that would catch my attention. Shawn seemed to read a lot of books on self-growth and improvement. He also read a few about redemption but when I found one titled: ‘The Weightiness of Guilt’, something about it drew me closer.

We must have run quite a bit after escaping Krauft's 'hospital'. "Looks like you'll be our guest for the next little bit while we get your weight back up, then we can let you back out to find your family." Jess says while I eat. I stop eating and look at her from the side of our eye. "But what to call you while you're here." She's all smiles unaware of how my heart just shattered. I would love to find my family. I'm just 14 years old, trapped in my wolf form. I don't even know where I am, let alone how to get home nor what I'll find once I do. Honour would know what to do.

In the end, the inquisitive one won but first, I listened for footsteps and when I could make out none, I got off the bed and went for the book, flicking its first page open. The only person who could give me a book was Zena but it was also weird, what kind of book it was. It wasn’t the usual one we both read and enjoyed. It was some sort of self-help book and its title was even more weird. “Kicking trauma’s butt with style!”

Lol. When I decided to write ‘Finding Us’, I told myself I was going to give it my all, despite the short amount of time I had to write it. Its former version, ‘Crazy About Boys | Finding The One’ a.k.a. ‘C. A. B.’, was a display of my amateurish writing and thinking — this, however, doesn’t mean ‘Finding Us’ portrays the highest level of professionalism or intelligence. This simply means I wrote ‘C. A. B.’ with my mind and ‘Finding Us’ with my heart.

, he explained. She nodded in understanding. “Not everyone has access to these books. They reveal themselves to whom they want”, he explained further. “Okay…” “If the book wants to be found they will somehow get to the hand of whom they want to be found by. Only a few people can get hold of them”, Edgar clarified. “Have you ever found a book of old grandfather?” He shook his head lightly, “No” “What if the said book does not want to be found, what happens then?”, she asked.

I mustn't call him all the time, dashed out of my couch after laughing at myself for sleeping on a couch for the night and entered the bathroom, I took a good bath and went straight to my wardrobe and got a simple dress, but a beautiful one too. Dressing simple with my comfortable stilettos. On my way to Nulec company, I switched on soft music in my car and drove myself out without a guard. They are always stocking me whenever they are with me. I need to be alone. Few minutes later, I arrived Nulec company. Nulec

Everyone, including Yuna, had been involved, and their strange behavior and cryptic comments suddenly made sense. I burst into laughter, overwhelmed. "Troy, isn't kneeling supposed to be for a proposal?" Troy grinned sheepishly. "It's my first time confessing my feelings to someone. No one advised me otherwise, anyway. Should I try again?" "No, there's no need for that," I said, shaking my head quickly. "Does this mean...you're saying yes?" I nodded. Someone who cared for me so deeply deserved a chance. While Caleb had hurt me deeply, I knew I could not live in the past forever. Moving forward with someone who genuinely loved me was the right choice.

“Were you doing it for yourself… or for your sense of identity?” I lifted my gaze to her, confused. She wiped her hands on her apron, stepping closer. “Because it’s different, Rowan. Doing something purely for gain—that’s selfish. But doing something to find out who you are, to gain a sense of self… that’s not the same. That’s searching, even if it leads you down the wrong path first.” Her words landed somewhere deep, in a place I didn’t often let others reach. Searching. Was that what I had been doing all along? Trying to prove I was someone worthy, someone strong, even if it meant losing myself in the process?

All of those things were in the book and they mattered and they had shaped everything — but they were not the ending. The ending was her. The woman who had started the year as a guest in her own life and was ending it as its primary inhabitant. The woman who had been disappearing in increments so gradual she had not noticed the disappearing until it was almost complete and had then, in the fire of the worst discovery of her life, remembered herself. Found herself. Decided — not once dramatically but repeatedly, daily, in the ordinary unglamorous practice of being honest about what she felt and what she needed and what she would and would not accept — to remain herself.

It wasn't an ending. This was never a story about conflict. It wasn't about the screaming matches or the power plays or the way he used to look right through me. It was a story about becoming. About the slow, agonizing process of dismantling the woman I was taught to be so I could find the woman I actually was. I walked back into the bedroom and picked up the leather-bound notebook from the nightstand. I flipped to the last entry I’d written. *I was the woman who made herself invisible and the woman who built herself back and the woman who chose again, with full information, and was not afraid. I am all three.*
