Presence over Presents
Family Drama Stories

All I want is your presence, not your presents.

Very rarely am I good with words, and this time may be no different, but I wanted to share my feelings from tonight. As I pack my apartment again, I think about the next steps and what is coming. I am moving to a larger space in a new area. Thankfully, I will still have…

Living next to an Airbnb has become increasingly challenging for me, culminating in numerous unsettling episodes. Without getting into every detail, suffice it to say the experience has been less than pleasant, especially after my house was struck by 20 bullets during a shootout at a raucous party hosted at one of…

Why did i dream about him?
Friendship Stories

I went to a party recently that was hosted by someone we both know, and out of the blue, I ran into an old friend. It wasn't planned or anything, just a chance encounter. We exchanged some small talk and caught up a bit, but nothing deep happened. Yet, here I am, stuck with dreams about him.

Just to be clear, these…

My eleven-month-old son is quite the towering toddler, already measuring in at 36 inches tall, which is roughly the height of a typical two-and-a-half-year-old, and he's comfortably filling out 3T sized clothes. Despite his impressive stature, he's still very much a baby whose primary source of nourishment is…

I'm a fairly short guy, standing somewhere between 5'4" and 5'5", and currently in my thirties. My buddy Mike towers over me at 6'1". We first crossed paths at a gathering some years ago, and although he's quite the head-turner, Mike is currently working as a waiter at a local café. I, on the other hand, am doing…

Feed the homeless
Volunteer Stories

I've recently taken it upon myself to kickstart a monthly event where our community comes together to cook and provide meals for the homeless. Honestly, the idea seemed straightforward initially: unite the neighborhood, collect donations, coordinate volunteers, and ensure everyone leaves with a full belly and a smile.…

I'm going insane
Health and Wellbeing Stories

Right off the bat, I'll say that I absolutely recognize that I'm delusional and that a lot of this is just my paranoia fueled, nihilistic psychosis but I think I'm genuinely losing it and I'd like to know if anyone has anything to say that could help. Also sry there's no category to tag this with lol.

Ever since I…

Qualities of a good friend?
Friendship Stories

sometimes i wonder if my best friend is actually the best friend to have in life; it’s like, he’s always around, but does that really make him a good friend? i mean, yeah, we hang out a lot, laugh at stupid stuff, and even help each other when something urgent comes up, but when i really think about it, it feels like…

I feel like I could write an entire collection of lengthy books on all the crappy things my MIL has done in the time that I’ve known her (almost 9 years.) But I’ll keep this one recent, since it’s a holiday in America where I’m located. So this is a Thanksgiving version.

A little backstory: my spouse had a major…

Earlier this week at school, I had an experience that felt overwhelming, and I’m not sure how to explain it. At first, I thought it was a panic attack because my heart was racing, and I felt so on edge. But it went deeper than that. It felt like everyone was watching me—like every move I made was being scrutinized.…

My Departure
Family Drama Stories

[Translated from Spanish. Reminder: IIWIARS is English only]

I feel like no one is there for me—to listen, to read me, to write to me, or even to be open to talking with me. I feel like, in my environment, I’m just an extra burden. And if that’s the case, then I feel completely pushed aside by everyone. How could I…

I Hate The Way I Talk
Workplace Drama

Ever since I can remember, I have trouble catching people’s attention when I speak and when they do hear me, they look at me weirdly like they don’t know how to reply to me. This led me not to talk for almost my whole life because it feels embarrassing, which made my voice softer and cringey to hear. I really…

Before the school year ended, I tried to run for a leadership position in our school, specifically the head role of our organization. I attained it by winning the elections, and I was the only one who ran for it. And obviously, I was the one who was going to win because of it. Afterwards, I represented my org for 4…
