"Lost in the Desert of Change" is a brief yet heartfelt thing I wrote about the challenges of evolving relationships. It reflects on the confusion and discomfort that arise when familiar connections take unexpected turns. The narrative explores the universal journey of self-discovery and growth, set against the backdrop of a shifting emotional landscape.
THIS IS NOT A STORY, but rather a collection of my recent feelings. Different parts may be added later or I will just  post it on this account as a different thing but they won't be related they will be just how I feel and people reading may relate to it

MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. SOON TO BE A PUBLISHED PAPERBACK. COMING 2025! This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist.

Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.

for now or forever? by varchiedale

archie and veronica were madly in love. every second of their summer, they spent together. he was her escape. with archie, there was no hiram and hermione. there was no facing the reality that her name was on every crime filled document. especially, there was no worrying about her ex best friend betty cooper. but boy should she have worried. because betty came, and spoke poison into her safe haven- she filled archie with rumors until he caved. and he said it. the words hit veronica like a hot slap to the cheek. "you don't care about anyone but yourself, and you're still the good-for-nothing slut you used to be." she swore she didn't know crying until that night. her parents, her past, her old best friend- they had hurt her. they had broken her into pieces. she thought archie could put them back together. but he shattered them. and he threw them back in her face. and then she was no longer ronnie, the beautiful, witty, confident, perfect new girl who could take command of the town with one look. she was veronica lodge, now fragile, closed, and cold. losing him was the nail in the coffin. something shifted in veronica that night, and she was unsure if anything could bring it back.

Forced to leave her old life behind, Jessica transfers across the state to Arcana High, home to one of the best marching bands in the state. Determined to rebuild her future, she's ready to prove herself to the only team that matters-if they'll let her. Christian Gutierrez has spent years building his legacy as Arcana's drum major.

From the moment she steps onto his field, their rivalry ignites-and so does something neither of them expected. As competition season heats up, Jessica and Christian are forced to confront their assumptions about each other-and themselves.

Their connection deepens despite the odds, but one devastating betrayal could turn their story from triumph to tragedy.

Thirty // J.G. (sequel) by moreself

Fate has a funny way of sorting things out. Sometimes, when we least expect it, the smallest moments can become the most prominent ones in our lives. And sometimes, the things that should last forever, don't. In the sequel to Twenty-Nine, Jack and Marley end up in situations that neither of them could ever see coming.

Friends again? by riverstales

Archie Andrews, the biggest fuckboy. Veronica Lodge, the quiet nerd. What would happen if they crossed paths again? This has nothing to do with the actual show, it's just the same characters!
