Love means, above anything else, benevolence and gentleness towards what is failed, disgraced, broken, unappealing, angry and foul in other people and in ourselves. Love isn't about an admiration for strength, it's about directing sympathy in a most unexpected direction: at what is messed up, lost and in pieces, and at what we might hate, resent and be frightened of. Anyone can express an interest in perfection, to love is to devote an active charity towards the mistakes and aberrations. One day, we will all require the charity of others. In one way or another, we'll be on our knees - and we will need people to look past our evident failings in a tender search for our deeply hidden merits.
As you read we follow the path of two young love birds, still battling to know their true selves. Battling racial differences and cultures in a modern world.Go ahead and lets enjoy the mishaps of a Asian boy and an African girl.For my beautiful black queeennns out there👸🏾

"You trust me?" I look up at him, staring into his light brown eyes that stared directly at me. It felt like he was staring into my soul trying to read me. I could barely answer his question because I was busy looking at him. Once I realized I was staring like crazy, I quickly look down. "I do." ----------------------------- She's the girl you never saw coming, the unexpected one who calms you, centers you, and still she turns out to be the surprise love of your love.

𝑽𝑰𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬|Book 1
Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete

Our Weird Relationship (BWWM)

TERA BHI KATEGA/ YOU TOO WILL GET DUMPED (FLASH FICTIONS)
Teenage boys and girls get many chances to fall in love over and over again. They fall in love and overcome from that love very easily. In this phase of life break-up does not hurt much. Friends become happier when someone gets dumped rather than when they get their love. Love rivalry is also very common between classmates and friends. When someone starts feeling for someone, friends become happy. They expect to see a failure. They encourage them but also warn them saying, "Tera Bhi Katega," or "You Too Will Get Dumped." I take the name of this series from a very common phrase of teenagers. In this series I will share some unsuccessful love stories. Don't expect happy ending and don't be sad. These stories are short and crisp just like potato chips. Take these stories lightly as there is nothing wrong in getting dumped or rejected by your crush. These life experiences make the young generation world ready. This series is mainly for BL flash fictions. These stories are unrelated to each other. For my convenient I used seven main characters in this series but they may or may not be the same persons in different stories. There would be no character description as the character of a teenager would change with each passing year or after each failure in love. Enjoy them as they are. If you like these stories please vote and comment. I would reply if you ask questions related to any story or character. These stories are totally fictional; I just took a few references from my daughter's random blabbering about her day at school. Do not match them to any real incident; I may not have any idea of that incident anyway.Complete
Still Mine Still Toxic
They was just supposed to chill that day. One summer link-up, nothing serious. But one look turned into late night texts. Group chats turned into group drama. And feelings? Yeah... they got caught way too fast. Zharia never planned to fall for Kairo - not the quiet, petty boy from the other side of the city. And she definitely ain't expect to still feel stuck on him years later, after everything he did. In a city full of messy Facebook posts, trap boys with secrets, girls who talk with they eyes, and group chat screenshots that ruin everything - these teens learn early: Love ain't soft. It's loud. It's real. It's toxic. And sometimes, the one who hurt you the worst... still yours.Complete
