Updates every day! "It was just one stupid little poem stuffed into the cushion of a stupid little couch. Now here we are with stupid little feelings." Cyro sits at Cafe Utopia. Same time everyday, same seat everyday. They always arrive at 7pm and they stay till closing at 1 am. 6 heavenly hours of solitude. The only time when they're not working their shitty retail job that's going no where. The only time they're not sitting in their hell of a household surrounded by the yelling and the bangs and the shouting. Cyro cherishes every minute. One day when her laptop dies she finds herself writing on notebook paper. Writing poems actually. As they fiddle with their hands, they tuck one of the pieces of paper between the couch cushions. Didn't really think much of it. Until the next day when someone wrote back. Bo sits at Cafe Utopia. Same time every day, same seat everyday. He always arrives at 10 am and he always stays till about 4pm. 6 heavenly hours of solitude. The only time when they're not on display for the world to gawk at, the only time they're not reminded that their falling out of love with the only person they have loved for the last 7 years. Bo cherishes every minute. One day Bo finds himself anxiously fiddling with the couch cushions after a heated argument he had on the phone. He didn't think anything of it till he felt something. A piece of paper.

For every question WHY You were my BECAUSE Anxiety. Depression. Panic Attacks. A small touch of Haphephobia. After years of abuse and sadness, Charlotte finally puts her past behind her and starts over. She finds a new job, a new group of friends, and Axel; life can't get any better. She can finally breathe. She starts to experience happiness and love, but her past keeps coming back to haunt her, showing up at the worst moments and taking her happiness away. She's thrown back into it face first; the drugs, the gangs, the ex that she promised wouldn't lay a hand on her again... Her new life mixes with her old and her secrets are revealed, promises are broken, and everything becomes too much. ------- "I can't just shut it off." I speak softly, wanting Axel to understand that this is who I am. This is the real Charlotte. "I know. You just...you don't have to be alone anymore, Char." My eyes focus on our entwined fingers as my heart beats wildly in my chest, his words repeating in my head. I stare, feeling the weight of his words sink in slowly. Being alone is all I've ever known. "Let me prove it to you." His words sound like a promise, and I gulp, my eyes finally finding his. I find myself wanting to believe him. Wanting to trust him. So I do. "Okay." ------- #2 in Anxious - 1.2025 #1 in Sober - 2.2026
