Through a story blood-stained with devotion, confusion, imbalance, heartbreak and clarity the author dissects the hidden patterns behind avoidance, the cost of loving someone who hasn't healed, and the quiet, almost celestial strength it takes to choose yourself when choosing them costs too much. Its not a story about blame it's a story about limits, healing, and the power of understanding the truth even when it hurts. If you've ever begged for clarity or felt invisible in the arms of someone you loved, this book will feel like finally being seen. If you're learning to trust again, it will remind you that healing is possible, and that some endings are actually beginnings in disguise.

It will break you, then rebuild you. It will explain him, then return you to yourself. It will hurt - then then it will heal. "He loved you, just not in the way you needed. You loved him, just not in the way he could hold."

She just wants to feel human. He takes pride in his inhuman lifestyle. She just wants to spend the rest of her life grounded. He only wishes for her to be lost in the ground. In this darker dark romance story, there are only two people in this world who are so equivalent yet so converse. They not only push the limit that enemies can never be lovers-but they also tally off every single trigger warning while driving themselves into a rabbit hole of unreason. Valencenzo Mirko Salucci is the epitome of vindictive-which only worsens as the decisions of someone he wishes to forget begin to tighten their approach. He wishes he could let bygones be bygones. But with every sickening memory of thrusts comes the whispers of, "Is this your first time, handsome? I promise to take care of you." And none of the sex or the intemperance could alleviate all the fucked up nostalgia he's endured over the years. Seraya Vasilivina Orlova seems like a world-class girl-at least that's what the world perceives her. An alluring runway model with a psychology doctorate degree at only 24-setting the bar higher for every other girl her age, she's a Prima Ballerina-to be fair, it was years ago, but she carries the title to make herself feel better about the monster she sees herself as. She wishes nothing more to reverse time and find a way to be the hero of her story, but she knows she'll never take that role.

They appoint a new secretary to him, one with‌ unwavering compassion and a heart too soft for her own good. When she sees the man who'd lost his will to connect, she resolves to reach him...

Charlie Linwood has always been alone. After his mother died when he was 12 years old and his father left Charlie and his 20 year old sister Ophelia into their own hands for another woman who strictly didn't want any children a year later, he was content with letting nobody past the boundaries of his own isolated bubble. Ophelia worked in two different jobs, and Charlie began to help at the age of 14 to sustain their lifestyle slightly more efficiently. Besides that, him being alone has created multiple sets of hobbies for him to busy himself with. One of them was journaling. Yet, he never wrote as any normal person would. He would write in poetry. In a way that would make his miserable life seem more imaginative in a sad, melancholic yet interesting aspect. Constructing his life into metaphors and similes to develop a point of view that isn't so boringly depressing. Lavinia Cresswell wasn't exactly a loner. She enjoyed being with people, any way to distract herself from her terrible home life. She lived with her aunt and uncle, after both her parents had passed away when she was fairly young and had no one left but them two. They were known for being disliked by all family members as they were unhealthy, abusive addicts, yet she had no choice. Lavinia had lived with their torment, yet despite having her group of friends, she seems to never be able to speak up about it. Her friends carry minor burdens, ones which Lavinia cares to prioritize because, well, they're her friends, yet despite all of that she's never felt seen by any of them at all. She's the one lingering in the back, weakly laughing to inside jokes she was never apart of, trying to tell a story but getting cut off and staying quiet to be respectful. Lavinia wasn't a loner, yet she felt so alone. A new school year, meaning new classmates. Fortunately, Charlie and Lavinia end up in the same classroom, and after years of never interacting, this year is when a spark will bloom for them both.

Moriah Kennedy left home as a young girl in hopes of starting a new life for herself. Fast-forward 10 years: she's 26, with her own private practice, living in Houston with her beloved cat, Venus. After everything that's happened to her, she was sure she'd be alone for good, so much so that she's closed herself off to the ideas she once had of prince charming and happily ever after. Keegan Brandwell is a 30-year-old physical therapist. The moment he sees her, he's taken with her and moves to pursue her. Moriah won't let him in easily, but Keegan doesn't back down from a challenge; in fact, he embraces them. "Before I do this with you, I need to know that you're in it, no leaving, no outs. I don't-" her voice cried into my chest. My hands rested on her cheeks, guiding her face up until our eyes met. "Listen to me. I'm not going anywhere. I'm with you, I'll always be with you. There is nowhere else I'd rather be. "

Goodbye Vehi-town, hello Oak-Haven. For Charlie, this move isn't just about a new house; it's a total system reboot. At sixteen, he's a messy haired boy with a constellation of freckles across his nose and cheeks, looking way too innocent for the storm that's about to hit him. The plan was simple: survive the first day of school, find a decent group of friends, and keep a low profile. But Oak-Haven High has other plans. Among the crowded hallways and the scent of floor wax and old lockers, Charlie's world shifts when he's forced to share a dorm with Noah Flowber, the bad boy from his class. Noah is the definition of "stay away": the local bad boy with a reputation that precedes him and a gaze that feels like a challenge.

This is mainly for me to look back on my journey with ARFID. I'll probably post about food related victories. I don't think/know if anything might possibly trigger anything but if talk about food and issues like that trigger you, maybe don't read this. Also like I'll celebrate your food victories with you and feel free to celebrate mine. I may end up venting on here to, most likely about arfid but maybe also other mental health problems.

There are loves that don't leave loudly They just slowly change the way you breathe This is a story told in three parts not of love that stayed but of a love that taught me how to lose myself, and then find myself again. Suffocating where every push felt like a gentle touch and I kept mistaking distance for care → theme: push-pull love, emotional confusion, attachment Hole where your absence became louder than your presence ever was → theme: breakup, emptiness, withdrawal, grief Once More where I stopped reaching for you and finally started returning to me Some people don't break you They just teach you how deep you can fall and how slowly you can rise again → theme: acceptance, self-love, transformation

This collection of poems is about experiencing the need to run away from every situation of life (relationships, places,...) and not being able to stay for too long. But also feeling alone by doing so and experiencing deep self-inflicted loneliness.

as the title says

this is all about myself.

Zuu and Tihomir has been in a situationship for a while now since Zuu is happy with things like that and is not bothered to make a change, that is until one christmas eve night they found Tihomir down the streets with another person.

She hid herself behind a wall for so long, until she decided it was time to be free. Short prose piece inspired by a girl struggling with AvPD and social anxiety.

So yeah

It's poems about my daily life. Enjoy!~

He seemed like he was coming closer-until he didn't. Claire felt something in the way Ethan lingered after meetings, in the way he stayed just a little too long during their last drive. Every time she took a step toward him, he welcomed it-warmly, gently-but never moved any closer. A quiet, slow-burn story about unspoken feelings, emotional hesitation, and what it means to almost be chosen. For those who've loved someone who always stood just one step away.
