As I grew, my perspective also widens.
Ups-and-Downs situations made my eyes open into reality and eventually, lose myself in the process. Everyone struggles, fighting their own demons. It's hard to win every battle, especially when your enemy is your own self. And now, i'm sharing my realizations and how I fought agaisnt my own demon. After all, recovery requires many moments of metanoia as we bring forth a new worldview and heightened consciousness.
I am the beauty of day, but also, the nights full of pain. I am Algea B.

[please read] You are a 21-year-old woman. Dumped by your (now) ex boyfriend, you have nowhere else to stay but your car. You work at a small café so you can get by and you still have hope. Hope for life. One day, on your way to your car from home, you met a mysterious man. Is that man going to change your life for good or he'll leave you like your ex boyfriend did? (Okay so you all know that when Dazai was in the port mafia he was 15 years old but for obvious reasons everyone in the port mafia will be at least 20 years old in this story so think of them like that) Also, I wrote this in quarantine when I had nothing else to do and decided to publish it because why not.

Eternal Echoes
Aria never expected anyone to really see her-not with the mess she carries quietly beneath the surface. Struggling with her mental health and barely holding herself together, she goes through her days keeping her head down, her world small. That changes when her teacher, Isabella, takes a deeper interest in her-not just as a student, but as a person. Isabella is calm, confident, and sharp in ways that unsettle and intrigue Aria. She sees past the walls Aria hides behind, offering support that feels both unfamiliar and strangely safe. When Isabella introduces her to Alessandro-her husband, reserved but intensely perceptive-Aria feels the shift in the air. Together, they open a door she never knew existed. What starts as care and mentorship deepens into something more intimate, more complex. Through patience, trust, and careful boundaries, Isabella and Alessandro guide Aria into a world where control and vulnerability intertwine. In the structured world of BDSM, Aria begins to find a strange kind of peace-where her emotions aren't too much, and her silence doesn't mean she's alone. But with closeness comes confusion. Lines blur. Hearts open. And Aria must decide whether she's ready to be truly known-and whether healing can come not just through love, but through surrender.Complete
Give me shelter
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete
Noah (Obsessions in Overdrive #1)
I've always had a feeling that I would die young. Ever since I started pondering on deaths door I've had this feeling. I could care less about the hell and heaven shenanigans, but death. I want it. The end of my life. I want to be in my suit, in my coffin, in the ground and my soul to be gone. I've been waiting for 16 years, yet no sign of death opening his door no matter how many times I ring his doorbell. Yeah, I enjoy thinking about my end. Especially at moments like this... *** #1 physical #1 cuteguys #1 addiction #2 self-esteem *** Started: 7 November 2022 Finished: 18 April 2024Complete

Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete
