Amid the relentless pace of life, I find myself caught in a storm of emotions, longing for a moment of peace and clarity. As Eid week unfolds around me, the festive atmosphere brings back memories of simpler times, transporting me to moments spent with family, wrapped in the comforting embrace of tradition and love.

However, these warm memories stand in stark contrast to the harsh realities I face as an adult. The pressures of work weigh heavily on me, familial bonds that once seemed unbreakable now feel strained, and friendships that were once my anchor have drifted apart. As I navigate through these turbulent waters of disappointment and loneliness, I can't help but wrestle with feelings of inadequacy and a deep yearning for something more. The success of those around me only magnifies my own doubts, casting a long shadow over my sense of self-worth.

In "How Can The Day Be So Long?" I explore the depths of these complex emotions, diving into the challenges of identity, belonging, and the resilience needed to push through adversity. The story is a reflection of the struggles we all face in our journey to find meaning and peace in a world that often feels overwhelming.All Rights Reserved

Lucky! by Emrys_Noah

Quote Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect. Now where to begin? I'm Enid Lloyd. I have a sister and two loving parents, note my sarcasm. My parents never showed any care or love my way. They were always addicted to Esme, my older sister. As usual, we took a trip to our hometown, London for the winter. I didn't expect it to turn out like that. Really, I didn't expect it!

2nd Place in The Dragon Fire Awards 3rd Place in Science Fiction in the Tricolour Terrenial Awards. " No one was truly your own in this world. Everyone, in the deepest parts of their hearts, cared only for themselves. And even if true love did exist, you can never truly understand someone. You can never know what is going on in the other person's head. For all you know, the person can be looking at you with loving eyes, full of bliss, but really they are battling their own, inner demons, keeping secrets buried and telling lies to cover up. That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?

UnFading LOVE(Completed) by Malyshka_Rose

Unfading Love..!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ I pointed a finger at his chest and shouted, "Why are you doing this to me? You know I don't trust anyone easily, except YOU." My emotions overwhelmed me, making it hard to form words. To my surprise, his smirk widened, and with that, I gave up. Tears streamed down my face as I turned and walked toward the door. The intense feelings I had moments ago began to fade, leaving me hollow and alone. I had never felt this way before, and it was all because of Abid. I couldn't defeat him, no matter how much I wanted to. I wasn't stronger than him, and somehow he was still the first person I loved-and still loved. But from then on, I would never see him again, no matter how much I wanted to. I would never hear his voice again. Without thinking further, I turned back to him. I grabbed his collar, pushed him against the wall, and kissed him fiercely. I didn't know where this courage came from, but I just wanted to feel him, for the first and last time. He looked taken aback, but after a moment, he recovered from his shock, and we kissed each other for what felt like an eternity. ⚜️⚜️⚜️ Love, hatred, and obsession - these emotions can bring out the best and worst in us. It's a fine line that we all walk, trying to navigate through the complexities of our hearts. So, the next time you find yourself in a situation where love, hatred, and obsession collide, remember that Unfading Love is a powerful force that can withstand even the darkest of times. This story is about a man who is suffering from Phiblophobia, a girl who is Depressed beyond repair, and an Obsessed person who will do anything for his obsession. And his obsession is none other than her. #1- believe (23/12/2020) #4 - MysteryRomance A Heart ❤️ for a Star⭐
