The light they see in me; the darkness i hide within
In every family, there is a rhythm - laughter at the dinner table, warmth in small gestures, the comfort of being surrounded by love. For the youngest child, this rhythm is both a blessing and a quiet burden. To the world, they are the bright spark: the one who smiles first, who laughs easily, who carries light into every corner of their home and school. Their friends call them cheerful, dependable, a presence that makes every moment feel lighter. Their family treasures their warmth, believing that they are always at peace. But behind the smile lies a truth no one sees. Each day is a careful performance, a balance between the joy they give others and the heaviness that lingers within. In the quiet hours of the night, when the world is still, their heart whispers questions they can never voice. Questions about worth, about exhaustion, about the battle they face in silence.

It is about the quiet courage of a child who chooses to smile, even as their heart longs for rest. A poxignant journey of hidden emotions, fragile strength, and the longing for someone to notice what lies beneath the surface - this story reminds us that sometimes, the brightest light hides the deepest shadow. /~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/~~/ T

Because of Haven Beach
"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

In The Silence Of Us
I pushed her away, "Meeting you was the worst thing that ever happened to me." Her eyes darkened, a devilish smirk playing on her lips, "Let me make it the shittiest one then." Without warning, she shoved me into the wall. My breath hitched. Her one hand grabbed my neck, while the other grabbed my waist, pinning me against the wall. Her lips crashed against mine, urgent and forceful. Before I could even process, my lips parted, almost involuntarily, and she took the opportunity, her tongue sweeping in, claiming me completely. It's a story about two people caught between friendship and something more, unsure of what they mean to each other but certain of one thing: whenever they're together, it feels like home. For one, it's a quiet comfort; for the other, it's the kind of peace that lets her fall asleep without hesitation. And both would do anything to keep things the way they are. TW: Emotional Trauma.
