Tori Anderson's life shattered the night she found her fiancé in bed with her best friend. Broken and betrayed, the 26-year-old interior designer makes a radical choice: accept a full scholarship to a prestigious design program in Kyoto, Japan-and leave everything behind. But healing isn't as simple as running away. As the only Black woman in her cohort, Tori navigates hypervisibility, culture shock, and the weight of past trauma while learning the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi-finding beauty in imperfection. With the help of unexpected friends and the ancient art of kintsugi (golden repair), she begins to rebuild herself piece by fragile piece. Then she meets Ren-brilliant, beautiful, and utterly unavailable. A commitment-phobic architectural designer with his own hidden wounds, Ren has perfected the art of intimacy without connection. But when their late-night workshops and vulnerable conversations crack both their carefully constructed walls, neither can ignore what's growing between them. Can two broken people learn to trust again? Can gold fill the cracks between them? A story about survival, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to love after loss-Kintsugi is an achingly beautiful journey of a woman learning that healing isn't about becoming unbroken. It's about honoring the scars that made you whole. ©️ Relle H

A single flash. A thousand headlines. One unexpected love story. When a split-second photo turns rising soloist Faith Monroe and idol leader Kang Minseok into a "professional couple," they sign a contract to protect their careers. What begins as stage-managed dates and PR smiles becomes late‑night ramen talks, a real confession, and a love too fragile for the spotlight. Then come the storms: a scripted engagement, a cold wedding, twins born early, postpartum shadows, and a public divorce that should have ended everything. Years later-older, softer, and braver-they find their way back. Not to the fairy tale, but to something truer: boundaries, therapy, family dinners at 6:30, and a second chance they choose out loud. Set against 2009-2020 K‑pop, this slow-burn romance tracks the era's real tech and media-from flip phones, me2day, and DC Inside to V Live, Reels, and Beyond LIVE-while exploring fame, racism/colorism, and healing. Faith (a biracial Black/Korean artist) and Minseok (an exhausted, loyal leader) learn the difference between optics and honesty... and how to build a home in a world that profits from breaking them. Tropes: fake dating → real, enemies-to-allies, forced proximity, slow burn, divorce and remarriage, co‑parenting, found family, second chance Content notes: racism/colorism, postpartum depression, NICU/prematurity, media harassment (handled with care) Updates: weekly For readers who love K‑drama heart, industry realism, and romances that fight for the happy ending-and earn it. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R.L.

Memoriah's story is not told through chapters, but through letters-each one a fragment of her soul, stitched together to form a life both tender and unflinching. This epistolary book unfolds the intimate journey of Memoriah as she writes to the people who shaped her: those she loved, those she lost, and those she could never forget. Through confessions, apologies, and unspoken truths, her letters reveal the struggles of identity, the ache of memory, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward. Raw, vulnerable, and deeply personal, this book offers not just the story of one woman's life, but a mirror to anyone who has ever tried to make sense of their own heart through words left on a page.

It's a bitter-sweet sensation that time alone can soothe-a heartbreak inflicted by a boy's actions without a hint of remorse. The wound he leaves behind is raw and tender, requiring the gentle passage of time to begin to heal. It's a puzzling ache, trying to comprehend how someone could shatter a heart with such callous disregard for the pain they cause. Yet, despite the cruelty of his actions, the heart still longs for what once was, grappling with the reality of what now remains.

Warning first story Art credit: LuLuLevy What happend if your trapped in your own body? You can't do what you want? Your just a puppet by your own body. You please others around and ur stuck in your own prison, what is your body. You push yourself everyday but what will happen when your body finally gives up? When you look at your own body you can't even describe it as your own. You give and give everyday a piece of yourself but never take some for yourself. The world is all about giving and pleasing other people and make the world beautifull for them but forget yourself. In this story izuku is trapped in his own body. He can't do what he wants. He ignores his own desires and please other people around. He stuck in his prison made by himself.

this is a poem from a female 9th grader in highschool during a pandemic who has special needs. Who is unable to tell anyone how she feels because no one will listen not even her teachers or friends. They won't even listen to her even during an online class. I hope you can relate to this poem.

Semua orang juga sedang kepayahan mengatasi problematika hidup masing - masing. Bukan hanya kamu satu-satunya yang sedang sekarat disini. Jangan manja ya cantik. Gak perlu menaruh ekspektasi tinggi untuk selalu ingin dimengerti orang lain. Ribuan jiwa lainnya juga sedang berjuang mempertahankan hari esok. Belum saatnya berhenti. Sedikit lagi sampai. Jangan mau kalah sama rasa sakit. Ada aku, ada kamu dan Tuhan yang paling setia membersamai dalam segala keadaan. Kita tidak sendirian. Di dunia ini bukan hanya tentang kamu, ataupun aku tapi..
