Back in 1895, Estela arrives in New York from Italy with her family in search of opportunities and a better life. She steps into a completely new world- one filled with diverse cultures and unfamiliar lifestyles, while facing the challenge of building a home in a place where, at first, she doesn't even speak the language that well. Between classes, unexpected friendships, and dreams that begin to emerge, Leam becomes her greatest support... and perhaps something more. However, as they grow closer, the demands of work, responsibilities, and the daily struggle to survive put their feelings to the test. Will they find the courage to follow their hearts before it's too late?

The official revamped edition of ABL! This version contains: -An improved and expanded storyline -(Mostly) correct chapter arrangement -A bonus alternate storyline and ending -Even more excitement and emotion! For context I highly recommend reading the original version of this story first. Otherwise certain details may go over your head. You can find it by going to my profile. WARNING: Advanced language and grammar. Not recommended for those of simplistic vocabularies. WARNING #2: Video game references ahead. Mostly Team Fortress 2. But be prepared for anything, even some movie references as well. WARNING #3: As with the original ABL story, this version will feature various representations of severe depression and schizophrenia, some serious, others less so. Be wary.

Another day, another volume of poetry, I think there's some good stuff in here for people to read and hopefully absorb in some way. And if not, I've still achieved my main goal of expressing myself.

Take my hand, come with me, I have something interesting for you to see. Poems here and poems there, Poems and books everywhere. Filled with dreams and filled with tears, Sometimes hopes and sometimes fears. So take my hand there's so much to see, Together we'll read just you and me. {All work is my own} {#1 in Poems // 2/13/20} {Please ask/tag/credit me in any poems you want to use, thanks!}

Ash. A 20-year-old university student is a boy who doesn't believe in love. After suffering heartbreak in his earlier university life, his concept of love appeared to be shattered. His long-time friend, Gary, seems to be intent on helping the boy experience a feeling he believes he's been deprived of his entire life. Along with a few others whom he meets along the way. The boy who looks at life with nothing but hopelessness is unaware of the encounters and experiences that will occur in the future. Not entirely fanfiction BTW.
