My name is Venus. At 30, I stand alone in the hot, dusty streets of Dakar, the vibrant capital of Senegal. Here, marriage is more than just a union; it's the ultimate destination, an essential social validation. But in this universal quest, I discovered that the path to love is winding, strewn with illusions and unexpected surprises. Let me tell you about my journey, a quest for love that ultimately led me to a much deeper discovery: the search for myself through disappointments, breakups, and the unexpected.All Rights Reserved

NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue by ANMS111

-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe and have faith that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. Instead, years later, as I left for the final time, I selfishly brought it up. By confessing, I hoped to push her away. But in that moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa and probably sensed there was something between us, but she let it go-and so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. But fast-forward through the births of our three additional sons, and more than a dozen years, the same problems that once threatened us had only grown and would soon spiral out of control.

In Love With Blindfolds On by cjacks1124

I gave the best of myself to someone who didn't have anything to lose. I didn't know how to avoid my lover's toxic and abusive flames. My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking. I learned the hard way that love isn't leaning in for a kiss, and a fist meets you halfway. Love isn't being a punching bag because someone decided they wanted to beat on you today. Love isn't saying I love you just because someone wants to keep you to themselves. I tried to be there for my lover, but I learned it is impossible to fix the broken pieces when the glass has shattered. There will always be pieces that are not repairable. However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?

Acknowledging the disgust. by lifieee

One of them being, girls feeling always picked on, always on the run, always on the look out and fearing every moment. Dig into a single bit of her life to discover how just a small thing makes our fears spill all over the place, our relationships are affected and our soul tormented. And learn how she bravely faces all of the questioning gazes and overpowers the fear to face her true fear.

Falling Short by Zanoobah

My life began in simplicity. I yearned for what any average girl would dream to become, in a world where expectations flourish, yet still being gullible to realise. Like a princess, or even possibly a narcissistic little girl who wants everything to herself, I disregarded the stories told to me during my bedtimes. That 'Beauty and the Beast' was only a figment of one's imagination. That a palace was even a torture ground to those who have absolute control over it, all its inhabitants, and all that are affected by it. The potential bestowed future had been ruined by innocent decisions of my heart, unknown to the tragedy it would inevitably render. In the end, it was my husband, whose gaze I interpreted as one of affection, who was my one and only betrayer. *** | Top Ranks | [#05 in 'Resilience' - 18/04/2023] [#06 in 'Solution' - 28/08/2024] *** Important Note: Those who are easily triggered are advised not to continue with this book.

Heart Echoes | ✔︎ by puppypuff3

People told her to forget. People told him to move on. She could not forget. He had pushed away the past. Even though, her lips were sealed- her heart called. Though, he did not dare reveal- his heart beated painfully. How will Zara, Nani, Dawood and Eshaal (this squad of four) go in search for Musa to find him? Miraculous how paths are crossed, to an extent you look back and realize, some stories were left unfinished and need to be resolved immediately. Otherwise, the heart would keep echoing. 3# in Spiritualjourney
