Welcome to the real world, where the dictionary isn't quite what it is. Here's a few examples of what they truly and blatantly mean:
Reality : n, A Bitch.
Mind : n, A torture device made by humans themselves.
Shell : n, Leslie Mai
Set in Hong Kong, enter a girl called Leslie Mai. She's... She's a shell, to put it bluntly and out there. There's not much more to compare her to. .
Unlike your average teenager - who's out partying, having fun and just 'chilling' with friends - Leslie 'experiments' different ways to forget about reality.
Nightmares and memories haunt her every passing minute, and there's nothing she can do about it. Not even her 'experiments' that often become quite... Lethal.
But what if there was a way... to heal?

I'm Still Breathing
"I will never leave you," he promised. PROMISE (n.) \'prä-məs\ - a declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified Promises. Don't ever make promises that you're sure that you won't keep. - She's damn different. She can spin your world in different angles just to prove that she's a great person; that she is capable to leave a mark in history books without any help. However, like in all stories, problems arise, but how could she face them, if she is the main reason that sparked up every emotion, fear, and the truth; she's involved somehow and barely notice it. She'll probably face it, by avoiding it, by unconsciously making the problems worse every minute. All Rights Reserved © joey ; wxntrlcs [ 2015 ]Complete

"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

To Start Over (Book 1)
At first, it might seem like a cliché. As the story unfolds, though, secrets surface, and it becomes something deeper than expected. She learned to blend in, moving through life unnoticed. That changed when he noticed her. She kept her guard up. He kept things hidden. Neither of them wanted to get close or feel too much. But their playful teasing soon led to late-night texts. The quiet moments between them began to feel comfortable. They never planned to fall for each other. But somehow, it happened anyway. And now, nothing feels whole without the other.Complete
