Discovering inner strength and true love after an unexpected life changing event #1 in paralyzed on 😊 #1 in Wheelchair #1 in Crippled #1 in Deserving #2 in Uplifting The thing about falling is you never know when you'll actually hit rock bottom. For young, aspiring British actor Levi Dawson, all it took was one mistake, one fateful accident for his whole life to come crashing down on him. Nothing could've prepared him for this life-changing event. All his fame, his magnetically rare physique, and the beautiful woman by his side was simple and easy for him, until it wasn't. Levi has no choice now but to leave everything behind in London and fly across the ocean to Boston where he begins rehabilitation...Having fallen is hard enough, but now he's stuck inside a body he can't control and dependent on everyone to take care of him, including his fiancé. Hopelessly bound to a wheelchair and suffering from newfound anxiety and depression, his mental state overwhelms him almost to the point of no return. Until one incredible person shows him the true meaning of life and what it feels like to be worth it to someone. This beautiful selfless girl with mesmerizing eyes and a heart of gold becomes his lifeline. He needs her in a way he never thought he would. And although she seems confident in every way on the outside, he becomes everything that she never realized she was missing from her life. Will she be enough to save him? Will he be her reason to fall in love? Together, will they be strong enough to overcome all obstacles?

New Zealand -1500 miles on foot through- The Land Of The Long White Cloud by ColinSkinner2

Imagine a place where the constellations of stars above your head are different from those you have ever seen, where the night sky can glow with strange swirling lights, and where the cold of winter comes when summer arrives elsewhere. Imagine a land of volcanoes, jagged white-topped mountains, rivers of ice, deep forests of ancient trees, and dark caves where carnivorous grubs glow like stars to lure in their prey. This is a land torn apart by earthquakes, and surrounded by waters filled with giant sea creatures: its people once fierce warriors who worshipped mysterious spirits. This is not some fictional place- this is New Zealand. With a tent and a backpack, Colin Skinner set off to explore the magical geography, wildlife and people that make the islands of New Zealand such a unique place. Isolated from other land masses for around 85 million years, the land is a 'Jurassic Ark', where animals and plants from the time of the dinosaurs have somehow survived. Ancient tree ferns, plants that produce spores rather than seeds, and primitive relatives of pine trees still grow in the forests. Among the unusual creatures that still live in New Zealand are flightless ground-dwelling birds, and ancient reptiles that have hardly evolved in the last 100 million years. With this fantastic land as a back drop, Colin Skinner went off the beaten track to find the people and stories that have been shaped by what is around them. Travelling alone, and on foot, he stayed with Maori people and conservation workers, who are striving to protect the amazing land that is New Zealand. Walking through the heart of an active volcano, suffering near exposure on the windswept and rainy Desert Road, and debilitating food poisoning before crossing the Haast Pass to reach journey's end... all are part of the story. photos at http://www.facebook.com/NewZealand1500milesonfoot

Godzilla 3: Rise Of Cthulhu by FOXTROTDESTROYER2505

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GODZILLA! I ONLY OWN THE STORY! 1 year has slipped by since the tumultuous upheaval in Hong Kong, where Godzilla's fleeting presence momentarily restored a delicate balance. The world, still mending, now quakes as fresh seismic disturbances shatter the uneasy peace. The haunting echoes of monstrous roars and colossal shadows have dimmed, yet Monarch faces bizarre phenomena surfacing from the abyss-something immense, powerful, and incomprehensible. What was once a mere legend has morphed into a chilling reality: Cthulhu has risen! This ancient entity, once relegated to folklore, has emerged from the sunken ruins of R'lyeh, unleashing chaos across the globe. Ominous skies and turbulent seas signal the arrival of this cosmic horror, its influence spreading like a contagion to all who dare gaze into the abyss. Titans worldwide are seized by terror, their instincts igniting a primal panic. Godzilla, once the symbol of balance, now confronts a force that shatters the natural order. Other kaiju resonate with this collective fear, bracing for a confrontation that could seal the fate of the planet. As cities brace for the impending storm, humanity stands at a pivotal juncture: will we unite against a common threat, or will our divisions lead to our demise? An atmosphere of dread hangs heavy, nations casting suspicious glances at one another as leaders grapple with decisions that could either forge alliances or deepen rifts. Amidst this chaos, ordinary people find themselves thrust into extraordinary situations. Scientists scramble to unravel this emergence, while military forces prepare for a potential clash that could mean either destruction or salvation. Communities band together, pooling resources and knowledge, realizing that their survival depends on unity rather than discord. As the monumental clash between ancient forces and modern society looms, the vital question remains: will we stand united, or fall prey to chaos and division?
