Distraction Stories

"Distracting myself is the only way I can survive." Sierra Jenkins didn't think she'd escape the darkness unharmed, but there she was walking into The Gain trying to live a normal life. Just when she thinks everything is too good to be true, she's slapped in the face with an increase in her rent that plummets her back into the depths of darkness. Working double shifts, pulling all-nighters, and working out to escape, she loses herself trying to make ends meet. Her body takes hit after hit as she pushes her limits, but she masks it all with a deceiving smile. But Kyle sees right through it. He knows what it's like to suffer in silence and he doesn't want to see the only trainee that sticks around slowly deteriorate herself. Anxiety-ridden, emotional, and draining, the real life struggle of a college student trying to survive. ******* Photo by: Jaspeorology on Pexels Edited by: me

"This isn't a ceremony -it's a trap dressed in tradition." Sanya Mehta never thought her dreams would be traded for a business deal. Rishaan Malhotra, India's most stoic billionaire, stood silently as she was forced into marriage. Now bound by vows she never wrote and a man who speaks in silence, Sanya is determined to reclaim her voice -even if it breaks her heart. But when the cold walls between them start to crack, and a journal becomes their only form of truth, the lines between hate, hurt, and healing begin to blur. But what if love didn't come with consent... but with consequences?

When world-famous actress Emma Hunters travels overseas, she leaves her daughter Jaylee at home--but not without hiring a babysitter first to watch over her 16-year-old. Which, may I add, is less than eager to be supervised, especially over summer vacation. So what happens when you take an overachieving, self-confident teenage girl, a babysitter, giggly girlfriends, a whole bunch of drama, and put them all together? Well, read and find out :)

In the grand kingdom of Verathia, where power and politics rule, Prince Alistair is known as a cold and calculating figure in the royal court. Born into a world of betrayal, alliances, and constant scrutiny, Alistair learned from a young age that love is a weakness he cannot afford. He's known for his sharp intellect and ruthless decisions in court, having been groomed to take over the throne. However, behind closed doors, his obsession isn't with power-it's with a commoner, Lady Elara. Elara is an innocent, kind-hearted young woman from a noble yet distant family, largely removed from the palace's inner workings. She's sweet, humble, and untouched by the court's manipulations. She meets Alistair by chance when her family is summoned to court over a land dispute. Unaware of the prince's intense gaze, Elara quickly becomes the object of his fascination. What begins as an innocent meeting soon turns into a dangerous game as Alistair's obsession with Elara grows. He is determined to keep her close, seeing her as the only source of purity in his dark world. Alistair views Elara as a symbol of purity in his otherwise corrupt world, and his obsession with her is driven by a desire to possess something untainted by power. He is deeply conflicted, as his obsession is at odds with his belief that emotions are weaknesses. Elara, on the other hand, is unaware of the extent of Alistair's obsession. While she may feel a sense of intrigue or fascination with him, she is largely naive to the depth of his intentions, making her a target of his possessive nature without fully understanding the danger.

I have a terrible fear of throwing up. I decided to write about said fear. That's all I got so far.

This is the fourth part of a project called the "Daily Self Growth Journal." Its purpose is to prompt readers to journal through encouragement, motivation, and inspiration. In it, the first thing I do is provide a motivational, or inspirational quote from someone noteworthy. Then I provide a verse from the Bible, the source of God's wisdom. Then a vocabulary word to ponder. If you're not bored yet, feel free to read the message I include and see what you think. But the most important part is the role you take. That is to journal what's going on in your life. It's easy, just answer the daily journaling questions provided. The whole process shouldn't take much more than 5 minutes of your time, but I hope and pray those five minutes a day will change your life. Thanks, Jake

"Find the boy with the curly hair who sits alone in the school library and give him divine inspiration to write," Gabriel had said. It was a simple task, but Aziraphale could not bring himself to show up at a high school without a posse, and Crowley would be damned (again) if he wasn't the sole member of said posse.

Even though August Alsina is a player, he says he will change for me?! Should I believe him or leave him alone?
