If you have any words or phrases that you would like to see added feel free to let me know as well.

    Violetta didn't think there'd be people on top of that mountain she climbed. She was sorely mistaken. Thrown into the world of several recluses and their equally reclusive goddess, the eleven year old ends up having to adapt to their ways and gets sucked into an unexpected friendship that will change her in ways she never imagined. But it gets even stranger when their patron deity, Lady Diadem, turns out to be hiding an unforgivable secret. Now Violetta and her newfound companions are divided against each other and sent spiraling into a civil war that will change their lives forever. Thanks to @clindy_san for the beautiful cover!

    Every language has a different way of structuring sentences, and a translator needs to change the structure of sentences so that they sound natural in the intended language. This involves paying attention to the beats and emphasis of words that can affect the way a song is sung. Song lyrics often contain specific references to a particular culture. Translators need to understand the cultural background of both languages so that the meaning or nuances in the lyrics are not lost. Phrases or idioms that are common in a culture may not be able to be translated directly without losing their meaning. Vocabulary in one language may not have an exact equivalent in another, so translators must be creative in choosing appropriate words to convey the same intent. This becomes more difficult when it comes to very specific terms or expressions. It is very important to pay attention to the emphasis of words and rhythm when translating lyrics. Many songs have a certain rhythm pattern that must be maintained in order for the translated version to remain pleasing to the ear and match the original melody. Word obscurity and idiom usage often cause problems, as some words can have multiple meanings depending on the context. Translators must be able to interpret the meaning accurately so that there is no confusion. Facing these challenges requires special skills and a deep understanding of both languages and cultures, so that the translations can be accepted and enjoyed by new listeners

    This is the realist shit I ever wrote. Telling the story of my life; This is how I cope. Battling influence, drugs, violence, I can can give you all the hype. Hoping it would silence. But it all seems to be speaking so loud. And yet they still consume me and endow. Don't they know what they're doing to me? Aren't they aware of the fear? It was once hidden, but now they know. "C'mon yo, you've got to be kid'n!" They joke, but I find no humor in the acts I take par. "Man, what did I get myself into?" It all makes sense what my momma was trying to reassure. "That my darling, is The Act Of Peer Pressure."

    ***The Corner Booth Contest Runner-Up*** WARNING: contains one blue-eyed stranger, one fast-talking heroine, and a couple of scenes steamier than a mirage at noon. Throw in gigantic dust storms, lawmen out for blood, plus a wasteland to be traversed and you are in for an adventure sultrier than the desert sun! You would think May was living in paradise. After all, a gorgeous man just showed up on her porch willing to do anything she asks of him. But this is no paradise. May lives in a world settled by technology-rejecting idealists wishing to live in harmony with the land. That land, however, has not been very cooperative. The desert in the heart of the planet is spreading outward at an alarming pace, swallowing anything that gets in its way. And May? She's in its way, all right! Alone on her parents' dying farm, May has two goats, a shotgun, and a whole lot of dust. That's about all she has, until the day Ro shows up. Ro brings with him a secret most of their world isn't ready to face. The lawmen on his tail will do whatever it takes, including murder, to keep that secret buried in the desert sand. If they don't succeed in killing May and Ro, no matter: the desert might just do the job for them.
