We all know that if we reach out to grasp fire, the simplest outcome would be us ending up burnt and hurt. But every now and then, someone tries their luck to change this fire into something more than just beautiful and deadly. Something different.
There's no shame in making mistakes. The shame there is in not admitting these mistakes, and in making no effort to correct them.
He did everything he thought would keep her happy. Anything to make her his. But he was just a small fish in a big ocean, chasing currents.

A LOVE SONG UNSUNG
He was 23, and she was 18. They stood together in the registry office, ready to sign the papers that would officially make them husband and wife. It was a secret marriage-only his friend and his girlfriend knew about it. He signed first, then handed her the pen with a smile, but her heart raced as doubt and insecurity clouded her thoughts. Was this the right decision? What if his father found out about the marriage? Would his family accept an orphan and a maid like her as a daughter-in-law? What if, after fulfilling his desires, he grew tired of her and abandoned her? She had no one to stand up for her, no one to turn to if things went wrong. Was it true love, or was he simply lusting after her? Why would a billionaire's son want her? He could have anyone-maybe even a movie star-but he chose her. Why? Despite her fears, her love for him was genuine. Slowly, she lifted her gaze to meet his, her insecurities weighing heavy on her heart. He took her hand in his, offering a gentle squeeze, then motioned for her to sign the papers. With a quiet nod, she did. His friends clapped and congratulated the couple, each one signing as a witness on the papers. Now, legally, they were husband and wife. But to the outside world, she was nothing more than a maid in his house.

If No One Else
𝟏𝟖+| I was said to be 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞... 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. I had heard it so much in my life that it had manifested into a truth that remained rock solid in my brain. It consumed every surface of my body and mind like a deadly cancer It had become a promise to myself. A reminder. A standard. It was a rule applied to every person in my life, except him... He was the same as I was; no matter how different our outside identities were. We were cut from the same cloth on the inside. There was no denying that he and I were both broken souls left in a broken world. Both craving an eternal slumber before we met, but his darkness played so well with mine that suddenly it began feeling more like light, warmth, goodness... a happy ending.

A Girl's Love
" A girl's love is like a puff of smoke - it changes with every wind. " Life is filled with uncertainty, confusion, perplexity, but above all, unpredictability. I've always believed these words to be true, but in all honesty I never felt I truly comprehended their essence. However, that exact comprehension is key to understanding anything in life. And it was time I learned that basic lesson. I never thought things would end up like this. I never thought that my heart would ever feel so divided between two people, precisely because I never thought that love was a divisible value. I needed, and maybe I still do, to believe in the natural process, the classical interpretation of love ; where you meet the one, and things flow from there in the most calm way one can ever think of. But it hasn't been like that for me. I tried to stop it, I tried to reason everything and find some sense into the whole mess that was created. And I failed. Because the heart wants what it wants.Complete

Frozen Cherries
"I've tried to ignore it, but I can't anymore," "Holly, we shouldn't ," Knowing something was so different than believing it was wrong. You could know it was wrong and not believe it. Forcing yourself to think it wasn't wrong because you believe nothing bad could happen.
