This is not a plea for attention.
This is not an attempt to rewrite the past.
This is a journal-a real one. A public space where I take responsibility for the pain I've caused, and where I begin the long, hard work of unlearning the ways I've loved wrong.

I've made mistakes. I've hurt people I never meant to. I confused fiction with reality. I let my fears speak louder than kindness. These entries are me owning that-not with self-hate, but with the intent to grow.

I can't ask for forgiveness from everyone I've wronged. But I can change. I can reflect. I can become someone softer, steadier, and more aware of how my love affects others.

This is the shadow work I used to hide.
Now I choose to write it out loud-because healing is not shameful.
And maybe someone else out there needs to know that they, too, can begin again.

She lived in California, sure, and it was pretty nice, but her family was hardly a piece of cake, and she was aware of it. It was in the way her father and mother fought, it was in the way she heard the punches, it was in the way she and her older brother Billy were powerless against him and that when her mother finally decided she deserved better, she didn't take either of her children with her. However, she never expected life to get so bad that she was getting shipped off to Hawkins, Indiana, with her brother and her dad's new girlfriend, along with her new sister, Max Mayfield. She also never expected to end up in the middle of a huge government situation that could threaten her life. But most of all, she never, ever expected to fall for someone in Hawkins, who just so happened to be the king of the whole school.

That's On Psyche by bookdbymillianz

I've studied psychiatry long enough to know the eyes are the soul. Hers... there's nothing deranged in them, yet something about those eyes makes me question everything I know about control, about obsession, about myself. Who is Aala O'Donelle? And why is she on the psyche ward?

Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness by thebookcryptt

✨️Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness✨️ She was once the princess of the Malik family-spoilt, rebellious, and fearless. Hemayal Mah-e-Noor Malik grew up in a world where limits didn't exist, where tantrums were forgiven, and mistakes were hidden. But one argument, one careless decision, and everything she knew shattered. At fifteen, she was sent away to boarding school, abandoned by the family she loved, misunderstood by the people who mattered most. Now, four years later, Hemayal is called back home. Her grandmother misses her. Her siblings fear she hasn't changed. The cousins whisper, and the house that once adored her waits for the chaos she once brought. But Hemayal is not the same girl who left. The years away have taught her lessons she never wanted to learn. The girl who once demanded the world has almost lost herself-and now she must face the family she left behind. Will they see the change in her, or will the past always define her? A story of mistakes, loss, and the painful journey of growing up... of becoming someone you never thought you could.

a thousand butterflies / wlw by elenalqvcerz

𝐒𝐄𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐋 𝐎𝐅 '𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐔𝐒.' Naomi Beaumont and Evelyn Winslow swore they were finished. Four years of silence should have buried what they once had-what they should never have had. Naomi, now a sharp-tongued doctor in Los Angeles, hides behind her career and the fortress of the Beaumont empire. Love is dangerous, and she refuses to touch it again. Evelyn has stayed in her home town with her 'husband' and two daughters, building a life that looks perfect from the outside, even if her heart is still chasing ghosts. When Naomi's younger sister invites them both to her wedding in Italy, fate places them side by side for an entire month on a cruise. Amid the vineyards and narrow streets, beneath starlit skies and whispered family secrets, old wounds reopen-and old desires spark to life. They promised themselves the past was behind them. But some loves don't fade. Some loves bloom again, like butterflies-fragile, inevitable, and impossible to ignore.

𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐤 by -IHEARTBARCA

The world knows Max Verstappen: the champion, the fighter, the storm behind the wheel. But behind every race win, there's someone standing quietly in the shadows - his 13- year-old sister, Tess. She doesn't race. She doesn't need to. Tess is the one thing the paddock never expected: a girl raised behind closed doors, trained to smile through pressure, and shaped by a father who pushed too hard. She's too smart for her age, too quiet for the cameras - and every driver on the grid would go to war for her. To them, she's the Princess of the Paddock. To Max, she's everything he ever protected. To herself, she's still figuring out who she is - in a world that loves her for the parts of her they see, not the ones she hides.
