"Imperfection is a sin, and sinners should get punished"

Fifteen years ago, Elle's boyfriend left town--and Elle--without so much as an explanation. Today, Ephraim has returned with a child: Bren. Bren is clever, quiet, quick, and almost exactly fifteen years old. Offered a miraculous second chance at the relationship they've wanted back for years, Elle instantly takes it, and desperately holds on, no matter what anyone has to say-- not their best friend (who lied to Elle for years), or the student they're counseling (who, again, is not the counselor here), or said student's parents, who may or may not both be Elle's ex-boyfriends.

***COVER BY; @obsidianix*** Picture this; You have every mental illness known to man. Well, not every mental illness, but far too many for you to count. Anorexia - Bulimia - Depression - Schizophrenia - Borderline Personality Disorder - Insomnia - Psychosis - Tourette - Bipolar - and far too many more to list. Sounds like hell, right? Well, that's Absinthe Liliani's life. Constantly living past all her near death experiences and suicide attempts, all her delusions and all the voices she heard, all the bullies who push her down and all the doctors who diagnose her. Her life is a nightmare brought to reality. She doesn't even know what it's like to be normal. She looked at herself as normal for the first seven years of her life, until she realizes not everyone is as "dysfunctional" as she is. Still can't get the picture into your head? Well, I guess that you can have a go at seeing the world through Absinthe's eyes...

• ONGOING • Yoko Hishinoya was the kind of the girl that kept quiet. The girl that was never noticed. The girl that blended in well with everybody. She slipped through places like a thread slipping through the small holes of a woven piece of fabric. She never felt left out though. The only time she had comfort was when she was in solitude. Till she met funny, humorous and self-fascinating Spencer. He brought her to a different world. A world with her in attention. And for once, she found out how to enjoy it. He made her feel better, a whole person when she was with him. But then, everything changed. Copyright © 2016 by KnightPeyton. All Rights Reserved.

* Book two in the Accents series * Sierra is determined to win the competition for the best photo session. There will be only one winner and she truly believes it's going to be her. But there's just one hook. She isn't going to work alone. Because as a photographer, she needs a model. And the one who agrees to help her happens to also be the one person she can't stand. And as the proud owner of the famous Spanish temper, she's not the most patient person in the world. And neither is he. One competition becomes the source of countless conflicts, streams of curses and many, many eye rolls. But - contrary to what both of them might think - it'll also be the beginning of something else, something of a very, very different nature. Or maybe... not so different? Spanish Accent is a constant balance between love and hate, anger and desire, mind and heart. It includes much of cursing, fighting, and sarcasm - and a great deal of heat. Abi has already found her happily ever after. Now it's time for Sierra. * Spanish Accent is a sequel to the novel English Accent - the stories are intertwined but can be read separately.*

My anxiety is.... 🦋that butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling every time I leave the house 😫that terrible feeling of dread and fear the moment I think I messed up 🚫NOT what defines me👑 "Really, at the end of the day, the only thing you can control is yourself; the only person you can truly educate is yourself. You have to redefine what beauty is to you so you can't be affected by what people are saying." -Rupi Kaur

Okay, I've got this obsession with quotes. Any type of quote. So I'm putting some out there (heads up, a lot will be from Harry Potter) and showing how I connect with them. Feel free to show how you do too or disagree and completely put a downcast on my opinion (Just for those who do, I don't care because everyone has a different opinion and I respect that). So please read, comment, hate, etc! -Kate Ps. Some of his stuff may not even be quotes. It may be random funny pictures I've found, poems I've written(I will never be a poet. I can't write poetry), funny quotes, ranting, and me just journaling randomness.
