a book about how to read people
a field guide to human behavior.
Just a reminder that everybody has their own body language and that a signal for 'yes' in one culture may mean 'no' in another; a gesture for 'good-bye' in one culture can be interpreted as 'come here' in another.
(This could also be used for character development for your fictional books too, but this is mostly on how to read people.)
(Also, I apologize for the inconsistency in some of the chapters. I have a memory of a goldfish and too lazy to edit.)

What would you do if you are offered your dream job. Probably take it without hesitation I guess? I would too. But what if it comes with a "small" catch? You'd have to move across the world and leave everybody and everything behind, Still would take it? I did. What made it so hard was the fact that the father of my child didn't think it was a 'good idea'. But still I did it. After making that decision I kinda figured out the meaning of the saying "life is a roller coaster". I had my dream job, my beautiful princess with me, even my annoying brother as a support. And made some cool friends on the road. But after one phone call a chain of events started happening that changed everything. This is life, so prepare the feel everything. I have to warn you that in this book you will find a lot of sarcasm, cursing and mature themes are included. So be warned :) And also apologies in advance if sometimes my vocabulary is a bit bland or I make some mistakes. I'm doing my first ever attempt in writing and doing it in second language:)Complete

Twice Two
She was born to be a star. Only one thing remained - to win Drag Race. But what happens when a rival appears on her path to glory - talented, determined... and the one she falls in love with? In a world where victory is worth more than feelings, she must make the impossible choice: between the dream she's lived for and the one who makes her heart race. Notes: The main characters are cisgender men. Their drag names and feminine pronouns are used in the text to convey the atmosphere and spirit of drag culture. Originally written in Russian and later dragged - quite literally - into English. Since English isn't my first language, a couple of chaotic little mistakes might appear. Don't worry, sweetie, they're just doing their own lip-sync. If you'd like to see the original performance, it's right here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/404185985-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B4%D1%8B-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B5 Mirage continues her adventures in a separate story: https://www.wattpad.com/story/406884009-untucked-but-not-unfuckedComplete
I Did Not Read Freud
This is no longer a psychology book, for the writer is neither a psychologist nor a madman. It is more like a book of systematic analysis of everyday life, in order to try to illustrate what many people see, hear, feel, live and/or talk about on a day-to-day basis. That no one is normal, everyone knows. Because if we were normal, Jesus wouldn't say to be forgiven, because we don't know what we do. So, let's try to be enlightening and, who knows, be humorous, discussing the madness to which the human being is subject. Like it or not. When I chose this title, it was thinking that I didn't really read Freud, nor did I study psychology. But I've studied behavior and events for years. The only conclusion I came to is that everyone, somehow, needs to have a few more "percent" of their brain used. The only problem is that with so much to do and so much time to do nothing; using the brain becomes very tedious. Quite an arduous task, when you have so much to do and consequently; more fun. Warning: If something doesn't suit you, please; disregard. For here I will deal with many controversial things. Such as wanting to eat with a fork, in a kitchen that only has a spoon. Or expect money that the One who owes you has not yet received. Wash the car, and soon after, the rain comes. Another thing: If you don't like it, please justify your answer. But intelligently. If you like it, please justify your liking. And believe me, I am very happy knowing that I was useful in your life. Good reading.Complete

Sure Thing
[𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄] 𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐍 𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒 30 Months... Almost three years since my accident. My first game playing pro in the NHL and I blew it. Many people have tried to help me but I'm past giving a fuck now. I just want to be left alone to drink my sorrows away. It's clear I'm never going to play pro again, so why do people continue to push me towards getting help? I don't want it. Until I do. All she has to do is whisper, "It's simply a setback. Which means you come back stronger." 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐑 30 Months... Almost three years since everything in my life changed. I've loved, I've lost, and yet I still have some light in my life. I've been fighting for so long that I don't know the difference now. I thought my career was over. My fear of men completely debilitates me from doing what I have always dreamed of. Until him. All he has to do is scowl at me and knock my son over. With strengths and weaknesses being put to the test, it will take everything in them not to crumble from the pressure. After all, too much weight and the ice will crack. And if the ice cracks, they will have to question if their love is a sure thing. *This is an interconnected Standalone therefore you don't have to read the first book however characters have already been introduced.

Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!! This story contains strong language, mature scenes, alcohol and drug consumption, and sensitive topics like - eating disorders, bullying, mental health, etc. ___ HIGHEST RANKINGS: 1st in #ed, 1st in #badboysgirl, 8th in #victim, 9th in #rehabilitation, 13th in #youngadultComplete![Arrivederci || Dan Heng [✓ ] (Re-uploaded up to chapter 20)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/392965095-256-k847963.jpg)
