How To Be Everything Novels & Stories

I began studying harder, started caring about how I looked, and tried to carry myself with more grace. She liked badminton, so I practiced. She enjoyed watching basketball games, so I joined the team. She loved indie songs, so I learned to play guitar. I just wanted to become someone who deserved to stand beside her. Starting in middle school, I was always at the top of my class. Some even joked that I was the school heartthrob. Anna started to blush when she saw me. She began fixing her hair when we passed each other in the halls. I spent months carefully crafting a love letter by revising every line.

“So your love story ended there?” As he smiles, his eyes that once seemed faraway diverts back to me. “What I’m trying to say is: as much as people want you to be who they want, you can choose who you become on your own. Do not lose yourself in an attempt to fulfill other people’s expectations because it never ends there. If I expect you to be a doctor, another person wants to see you as a lawyer, and another prefers you as a housewife. If you try to be all that, you end up straying from your own self. And then you fall into a state of confusion and frustration.”

“I appreciate that.” There was a pause on the line, then he said softly, “Just don’t let anyone tell you that you have to be everything for everyone. Not even yourself.” She wanted to scoff at the irony of it all, but nodded anyway, even though he couldn’t see it. She'd had to be everything for everyone growing up, hadn't she? The movie played on, the explosions still flashing across the room, but now it felt distant, almost muted. Her fingers traced the blanket’s edge, grounding herself, trying to stay present.

“I don’t even know where to begin. I tried to structure it around financials and profit, but it just doesn’t feel like me.” “You’re overthinking it,” he chuckled. “I think I know what your problem is.” I gave him a look. “Then please enlighten me.” “You’re trying too hard to be a businesswoman instead of being yourself,” he said, eyes locking onto mine. “Be Amaris Kennerly. Be real. Show them a piece of your soul. That’s what will hold them. That’s what will make them listen.” I swallowed hard. “You really think that’ll work?”

“Right now I don’t even know who I am, remember?” He chuckled. “You know more than you think you do,” he said. “For now, they’ll just want to get to know you. Be kind. Be considerate. Put the pack first. Those are things I’ve seen firsthand from you tenfold. You can make things what you want them to be from there.”

"Try messing with my sister, and you're asking for a beating!" If there really were such a thing as a parallel universe, I was sure there was one where we were all one big happy family. With that thought, I turned to her and said, "Janet, come home with me."

"Goodnight Daddy." He did not answer. But I knew this was only the beginning. I went up to my room with his taste still on my tongue and his fingers still burning inside me. The rain kept falling but I was no longer scared of it. I was scared of how much I wanted more. **100 Ways to Damn Yourself**

I felt the urge to punch someone right now; I want to hurt everyone around me and especially that girl who replace me “That is not true!” I shouted Then it happens. I can’t stop myself from shouting; I started to ruin everything around me. I threw the vase in the television. I tried to stand up but I tripped down on the floor. I started to cry and banged my head on the wall, and then I saw something that will surely end everything I grab it without hesitation, I don’t know if it is just my imagination but someone is telling me that it is the right thing to do

She was someone else, someone new who wanted to eradicate Evanora for what that Witch had done. She didn’t pay attention to Emerald’s words. Oy Ginevra’s last words kept reverberating in her head, “You have so many different powers in you right now. But that which has every shred of them. She knows your strengths, but don’t let her be cognizant of your weakness. Don’t let one personality dominate you. Keep them all along and fight till the end. You are Trinity, Estella, Locasta, Ragnara, Artellia, Calista, and Sedna. Don’t let any one of them overpower you. Merge all of them and then attack.”

Many fans wanted me to return to the competition. Even Eve joked about me going back to chase my dream. But I simply shook my head when I looked at my left hand. “Nothing’s ever perfect. Ambition always pushes for more.” Eve took my hand. “It’s okay. I’ll be by your side as you reach new heights.”
