And she writes:

I'm sorry... I'm sorry my grades are average, I'm sorry I'm not a model, I'm sorry I'm not a socialite or popular or a cheerleader or athlete. I'm sorry I can't run more than a sixteenth of a mile (a quarter of the way around a track). I'm sorry that I take all your money and throw it away into the chiropractor 'cause of my back. I'm sorry that I need an asthma inhaler and that I need it at the stupidest of times. I'm sorry...

I'm sorry Dad-

I'm sorry I can't be perfect.

A Scurry of Squirrel Kin

Tbh really would just appreciate the support. Don't reeeeeally know what I'm doing with this. But yeah. I'm working on a trauma, drama hurt & comfort story at the moment (it started as a "huh, these Dreame novels are all basically the same, I can do this" and turned into... basically that but queer and polyamorous, so.) Anything with that or my other WIPs will likely be subscribers only.

Soft Mews [of 'I Love You's]

12 years. I count myself rather lucky to have found you to have chosen you to have been chosen by you to watch you grow and live. 12 years of headbutts and 3am zoomies and little paw pats for attention. 12 years of watching the "ghost flies" and love nips and not playing with your toys but loving shiny chains. 12 years of tuna water but never tuna fish and egg yolk off my fingers and sandpaper kisses for seemingly no reason. 12 years of claws digging into skin and paws kneading biscuits in my sweater and cuddling in bed together. 12 years of soft mews. 12 years of 'I love you's.

Dance With Confidence

“Alya, no!” Marinette hissed as Alya took her hand, leading her over to the bulletin board at school. “I’m already on the costume committee, I want to stay in the background!” Auditions would be held for the Nutcracker, and though Marinette was excited about the play, she wanted to stay in the shadows! Besides, she knew she had two left feet. The girls turned when they heard someone whistling. “Adrien!” Marinette squeaked. “Hey, girls. Boy, Mr. D has us working hard to be soldiers for the play. But I told him I’m going for the Nutcracker role instead!” Adrien scribbled his name on the sign-up sheet. “Anyway, my ride is here. See you later, girls!” “So, does Mr. Nutcracker change your mind?” Alya asked slyly. “Sign me up,” Marinette looked on after Adrien dreamily. “Just remember, try-outs are Monday. Better pull out your dancing shoes, Marinette!” Monday? Marinette thought. That doesn't give me a lot of time, but dancing with Adrien! Besides, he’d never let

Foamy Pool

An unsuspecting sharkpup finds themselves in a tight, bubbly predicament with a skunk there to tease them. Contains: A tight bubble trap, a teasy skunk, and a blushy sharkpup. Word Count: 1,497 words. NOTE This story contains unoriginal characters used with permission. See the list below for those characters’ origins. Volaire (2chaotic, FurAffinity) The sky was black out, the stars outshining the moon as the world fell dormant. Cyaine, a sharkpup, walks into a vacant pool after hours, carrying a big bag of bubbly things. A big vat of soap bubble solution, a few bubble wands ranging in size, a pocket bubble machine, and a deflated bubble ball were all ready to go. They would have a nice evening in a cool pool with nothing but the atmosphere of bubbles around. They sat next to the pool in a lounge chair, bag to one side, solution to the other, and a filled bubble wand in their hand. As they blew bubbles out of the wand, they focused intently on the fresh spheres flying up into the

Around the Hoop

You fall into a factory’s lone bubble hoop and, consequently, float into the sky in your new soap bubble home :3 Contains: Bubbles, Bubble Ring, Double-Layered Squeezing, floating away~ Word Count: 1,288 words "And here, we have our testing facilities," the tour guide spoke to the audience following them, their voice booming as it echoed off the warehouse’s walls. "We can't have the perfect formula without making sure it's actually perfect, you know!" Curious, you see all different sorts of chambers around the lab, one with two pipes with bubbles occasionally coming out from both at the same time, colliding together, another automatically making and spewing all sorts of bubble solutions. “I encourage you all to explore the lab, see what really goes on around here,” the tour guide said after a few seconds of the crowd's oohs and aahs. The crowd dispersed around the lab, looking around at the different testing areas and the signage in front of them explaining what they were for and

Two Friends Floating High

On a quiet Saturday afternoon, two lifelong friends were walking through the woods on a trail. In the background, both could hear the water rushing and the birds chirping. The more talkative of the two, Stoni asks his friend, "Such a lovely evening, wouldn't you agree?" Maxie replies with only a head nod, agreeing with the sentiment. Stoni is a gray fox with an odd feature, a pair of antlers on his head. These antlers earned him the role of class prey, making him the target of countless teases and taunts from his classmates whenever he messed up. They called him many derogatory nouns and nicknames, ranging from Headlights to Tree Branch. Maxie is a mute golden retriever. Ever since his birth, he has never spoken a word. The closest his parents ever got were random sounds that sounded nothing like a word. He still makes sounds from time to time, but it's never real words. Unlike Stoni, he was saved from endless torment, but only by way of isolation. He was introverted, only

Hey, I know how you feel. The constant feeling of not being good enough. Just feel free to send me a note.
To be honest, I need someone to talk to too.
