Breaking free (GxG) oleh worldchange97

My name is Brooklyn Robert. I'm 17, head cheerleader since my freshman year, I have fair grades and people always compliment me on my looks even though I see myself as completely ordinary. I have to admit that my life includes indeniable advantages. My mother, Laurence Robert - pronounced in French s'il vous plaît - is a worldwide renowned fashion designer, meaning that I have quite a lot of pocket money along with a huge property to my disposal. For a teenager who just gets started in life, those assets may lead one to believe that I have all the tools to be happy and successful. But I'm not. I reached the bottom so fast and so hard that I couldn't see a way out. I was trapped in a dark hole with no issue. I was so tired that my only desire was to end it. I wanted it so bad that I swallowed two bottles of sleeping pills and I let myself be taken away by that haunting darkness. But it didn't work. I'm still here, alive and ready to die. #1 sexualorientation #2 suffering #11 girlxgirl __________________________ [Explicit content.

Beneath the Quiet Spaces Lies the Fragile Machinery of Souls oleh WhispersBeyond

An Introspective Trilogy of Love, Memory, and the Infinite Before there were names, before time began, there was the quiet-vast and untouched. But within the stillness, an ache stirred, yearning for connection, and the first hum of existence was born. From that moment forward, the lattice of memory and identity stretched across the void, delicate and trembling, forever shaped by love and loss. This trilogy follows the cyclical journey of two souls, bound across lifetimes by a connection that defies time itself. From the quiet intimacy of fleeting moments (In the Quiet Spaces) to the fragmented struggle for identity in an infinite void (The Quiet Machinery of Souls), and finally to a fragile renewal of love amidst the cracks of memory (The Fragile Machinery of Memory), their story unfolds as a meditation on the beauty of impermanence. Can love endure when names are forgotten? Can fragments of memory be enough to hold onto what truly matters? Through lifetimes of forgetting and rediscovery, Caleb and Elara-reborn as Nathan and Ivy-face the ultimate question: in the breaking of everything, can love still remain? Poetic, philosophical, and achingly human, Beneath the Quiet Spaces Lies the Fragile Machinery of Soul is an exploration of the threads that weave us together and the cracks that make us whole.

The Catalyst (WIP) oleh JeanDunigan

This is not a redemption story. This is the unraveling of a mind built to survive, a life that refused to break until it did, and a woman who has never been just one thing. Told through fractured memories, relentless introspection, and the weight of choices that were never choices at all, this book explores the paradox of existence-what it means to offer without sacrifice, to be unbreakable by breaking, and to see the universe while knowing it will never truly see you back. A story about inevitability, identity, and the battle between Chaos and Order-within the world, within others, and most of all, within yourself. Trigger Warning: This book contains discussions of trauma, abuse, mental illness, suicidal ideation, and the brutal realities of existing in a world that demands you be something you are not. Read with care.

Minnie lived in a world of quiet dreams, where love was meant to be soft, gentle, and kind. But Siddharth? He was none of those things. Ruthless, obsessive, and dangerously possessive, he saw Minnie as his-long before she ever realized it herself. Trapped in a web of fate she never knew she had been into, Minnie struggles to break free from the man who claims to love her in a way that suffocates as much as it consumes. But Siddharth doesn't understand the meaning of letting go. He is a man who takes what he wants, and all he wants is her. A tale of control and defiance, desire and fear. Will she find herself surrendering to the very darkness she tried to run from? - Read more to find out 🌹 #1 Toxic #1 student #1 younggirl #1 coldguy #1 Teacher on [ 12-01-26 ] #1 Business #1 Olderguy on [ 23-01-26 ] #4 Forcedlove on [ 14-01-26 ] #6 18plus on [ 11-02-26 ]

Trapped in my own head oleh WildImaginations16

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!

Wealthy, powerful, and always the fun one. On the surface, the billionaire Muna Amalda has it all. She owns the room with her loud laugh, wild nights, parties, and a charm that never misses. But underneath the glamour, she feels nothing. Every day is a quiet war against a growing emptiness. "They say desire is the root of all suffering, so why does it hurt more to have no desire to live at all?" That is, until one evening at a bar, she meets a mysterious man named Osiris, who offers her a strange pendant, and an even stranger deal: a second chance at life. But there's one condition. She must save Ancient Egypt from the infamous seven years of famine. Thrown into a new world she doesn't understand, Muna is forced to survive without everything she once used to define herself. Will she embrace this new life, discover who she really is, and find the strength to change not only Egypt's fate, but her own?
