They'll start off annoyed with each other, but you know how the story goes... "Adorably sweet and a brilliant read! It made me feel like I was roaming the streets of Paris without having to leave my couch." - Grace @HQ ***** On the last day of their class's college trip to Paris, Mira and Jake get tangled up in a debacle that causes them to miss their flight home to New York. Which means they're stuck in Paris until the next available flight that's 24 hours away! Mira is witty and a lover of art history and good cheese. Jake, on the other hand, is your All-American frat boy with a killer smile. Translation: they can't stand each other. As they visit places they could never have imagined, Mira and Jake go from mortal enemies to star-crossed lovers with sizzling chemistry. But can their spark last without Paris' cheese and charm to keep it going? [[word count: 50,000-60,000 words]] Cover designed by Ray Gardener

What if yesterday is also making its comeback? And what if... there's more to the story than what she knew? Can yesterday be rewritten--from love to hate and hate to love, making memories like those of yesterday's?

Ανοίγω τα μάτια μου στο σκοτάδι και προσπαθώ να καταλάβω που βρίσκομαι. Είναι πρωί η βράδυ; Απόψε οι σκέψεις μου δε με άφησαν να κοιμηθώ. Φώναζαν Φώναζαν δυνατά. Αν έρθεις, μη ρωτήσεις αν είμαι καλά . Γιατί σήμερα προσπαθώ να ακουστώ Σημερα παίζω στο σκοτάδι με σκιές Είναι οι μόνες που μου κρατάνε συντροφιά Που είσαι; Μη σβήσεις τα φώτα.. Θα χαθώ! Είναι σκοτεινά εδώ πέρα. Σήμερα ξεκίνησε μια όμορφη μέρα. Όμως νιώθω τα πάντα πιο έντονα Σήμερα νιώθω τσαλακωμενη από τον ίδιο μου τον εαυτό. Μου χαρίζεις έναν τελευταίο χορό; Μη βάλεις τα καλά σου. Δεν έχει σημασία η εμφάνιση. Κοίτα με. Διωξε τον πόνο που με κυριαρχεί. Βάλε μουσική Και απλά κράτα με. Όπως παλιά. Θυμάσαι; Θυμήσου,σε παρακαλώ... Χρησιμοποίησε τα χέρια σου και διώξε όλη την αρνητική ενέργεια μου. Αγκάλιασε με σφιχτά πριν φύγω. Γιατί το άρωμα σου, έγινε θρύψαλα πια.. Σε παρακαλώ..

Θα γραψω καποια ποιήματα δικά μου.Γραφω για διαφορα θεματα οπως ειναι ο ερωτας η απογοητευση.Ελπιζω να σας αρεσουν . Αν θελετε αφηστε μια καρδουλα και ενα comment . Σας ευχαριστω για την υποστήρηξη

people write about things that do not happen. they will romanticize this world in hopes of filling themselves up. they write like their words are food. but i have always written to empty myself completely. i will romanticize feeling nothing. june 1st 2018- august 16th 2018 thank you, @blushingbieber, for the wonderful cover! hr: #1 in poem 8.3.18 #1 in poetrycollection 8.15.18 #1 in poems 4.28.19

Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal. TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, OCD, panic attacks
