The night Kurt and Blaine were going to have dinner to be happy, turned out to be a night of confusion, yet honesty. Not good honesty, but the truth. Blaine had hurt Kurt. Not physically, but mentally and it was increasingly hard on his heart. His now shattered heart. And Blaine notably feels guilty of what he'd done to Kurt's heart knowing, that it was all because of him and no one else. But, a year later after their 'break up' they meet again as Blaine was auditioning for a part in the same musical as Kurt, had already auditioned for. What happens when the two ex lovers meet again though? Blaine is surely happy and full of feelings he'd once gotten, just the same as Kurt had. But is Kurt really full of the same feelings as Blaine? With Christmas around the corner as well both are getting ready for their parts in it, they're told that they'd be actually working 'together' as the two main characters. And with both now feeling many different emotions from; Excited, to Frustrated, to Nervous, perhaps all the way to 'In Love Again'. Blaine knowing all of this realizes this may just be his chance to get Kurt right back into his arms, as he begins to get closer to Kurt once again.. Until it all ends when Kurt's 'Boyfriend' comes back into the lovely city of New York unexpectedly. Jealousy. Heartache. Fear. Hope. Tension. Anger. Sorrow. Those are the exact emotions, and feelings worn by at least one person, in this book. But the real question will remain for Kurt and Blaine.. Did Blaine get Kurt back in the end of all the drama or did Blaine have to be faced with the fact that he'd really messed up everything that was ever in their future?

Every day, we make countless choices-big and small-that quietly steer the direction of our lives. Behind each decision lies a road not taken, a set of options quietly set aside, shaping not only our paths but our happiness, satisfaction, and future opportunities. The Roads We Didn't Take: Everyday Choices, Hidden Costs is a collection of storytelling-driven chapters that explore the profound impact of the options we overlook. Drawing from everyday moments-skipped meetings, spontaneous adventures missed, extra hours at work, or the comfort of a well-chosen "no"-this book reveals that every decision has an invisible price tag. Through engaging, relatable narratives, you'll come to see that opportunity cost isn't just an economic concept, but a practical tool for understanding regret, relief, and personal growth. With each story, you'll discover how saying "yes" to one option invariably means saying "no" to another, and how this awareness can help you make more intentional, fulfilling choices. Whether you're seeking clarity in personal finance, career decisions, or simply in daily life, this book offers inspiration, comfort, and practical wisdom for navigating the subtle costs and hidden opportunities along your journey.

My life is dysfunctional, not knowing where it's heading. My ups and downs define my personality. It seeped through my ways and began to make me believe that I am not worthy. I believe that I am hopeless in this so called world. Deprived in my past, I concluded that my once beautiful high school life has decayed. I regret everything. Just as I thought I slipped away from everyone, everything came crashing down when two brothers shifted into my life. Blake and Marcus Jameson, has ruined my image. Blake the boy they all swoon over, Marcus the one who'll torture me throughout the way. In the end I will realize that the boy I once thought was unbreakable, was hiding a devastating past just like me. *I know the description might be suck-ish but please at least try it out. Also it might sound cliche-ish but I assure you this will leave you shocked once I go on further. *

Will be sharing poems that encompass a variety of emotions. Writing and publishing opportunities will be provided as well!
