A Bit of Fiction (From Bitofselfcare)

Welcome to a Fiction Nook - A Growing Collection of Whimsical Stories
🪄 Here you will find tiny tales for curious minds and busy hearts.
This is where I keep all the fiction I’ve written—little stories to soften a harsh day, make you smile when you forgot how, or whisper that you’re not alone.
Some are whimsical fairy tales, some are quiet flash fiction pieces. Most are short enough to read with a cup of tea (or hiding in the loo from your kids). All of them hold something gentle, honest, and a little bit odd.
I write these because stories have always saved me. Maybe one of them will do the same for you.
🐱 Saved by the Cat
A short story about exhaustion, hope, and being rescued by something unexpected (and fluffy). Read when you feel burnt out and need a soft place to land.
🌊 Waves, Wails and Wishes
A fictional story about the magic of me-time and the power of tiny escapes.
🧚 Fairy Tale: Daydreams and Blossoms
A brown-eyed fairy discovers her path in a forest filled with doubt and daydreams.
🧘♀️ How to Unfreeze: An Active Meditation
Flash fiction meets somatic practice in this story about the wisdom of movement.
🌝 A Few Important Lessons the Moon Taught Her
A short fairy tale about gratitude, quiet wisdom, and a very patient moon.

You can also follow my stories as I write them on Instagram or Substack. I love blending psychology with playful imagination — and sometimes the best self-care is simply reading something that makes you feel seen.
