What if life was nothing more than a campfire?
It begins as a spark
warmth, laughter, and family gathered under the stars. But the fire doesn't always last. Mosquitoes of distraction swarm, bears of fear prowl, storms of doubt rage, and the light we cling to flickers against the darkness.
Through vivid memories and haunting metaphors, this story explores how joy and pain coexist, how distractions and fears can smother our glow, and how love, faith, and resilience can rekindle even the weakest flame.
This is what I wrote my college essay on; a reflection of my own journey, my struggles, and the fire I fight to keep alive.
Because sometimes the only way to survive the wilderness is to keep your fire burning bright enough for others to find their way home.

Why Me? (GxG)✅

Stolen Moments(gxg)-intersex
The club wasn't where she imagined herself working, but it was the only place that would take her. The air was thick with smoke, and the neon lights did little to chase away the darkness inside. People came and went-some looking for trouble, others caught in things they shouldn't have been. She'd seen men dragged into the back rooms, beaten up for not paying in time or failing to do their part. And then there was her-the club owner. Cold, calculated, and feared by everyone who walked through the doors. She ran this place with a tight grip, and she didn't tolerate mistakes. No one dared to cross her, not without consequences. And yet, every time their eyes met, something shifted, an unsettling pull that she couldn't quite explain. She didn't know what it meant, or why it unsettled her so much. But one thing was certain: the longer she stayed here, the more complicated everything would become...
Sway
I could tell that she was feeling everything that I was, and after spending a month questioning whether or not we'd ever be a thing, I suddenly felt like we were inevitable. She pulled me closer and kissed me slowly, her hands in my hair again. We were swaying to the combined sounds of the saxophone and trumpet, both of us lost in a room full of everyone and no one. *Completed!*Concluida

POV
Life often presents itself as a series of hurdles, each one taller than the last. These hurdles, though daunting, are not meant to break us but to shape us into who we are meant to be. It is through our darkest nights that we gain the strength to face the dawn. It's when we are at our lowest, feeling like the world has conspired against us, that the seeds of resilience are sown. Every tear shed in frustration waters the roots of perseverance. Every sleepless night, spent grappling with doubt and uncertainty, serves as a silent testament to our inner strength. It is in these moments of struggle that our character is forged, like steel tempered in fire. The sweetness of success is not found in the absence of hardship but in the victory over it. The taste of triumph is more profound when seasoned with the bitterness of the journey. It is this contrast that makes success not just a goal but a celebration of the human spirit. In the end, it is the hardest times that give flavor to our achievements, making them not just milestones but moments of profound personal growth. Through pain, we learn endurance; through failure, we find resolve. And when success finally comes, it is not just a destination reached but a testament to the journey endured. ◉‿◉![[GL] Black Gold](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/345475905-256-k90250.jpg)

Love is Suicidal [Completed]
"This is killing you.." He looks at me with sadness in his eyes. "You do know this, right?" Looking out into the night sky, I looked at the stars above that were millions of years away. I slowly nodded, holding onto the cup in my hands. "I think... the moment I saw her.. a part of me was already gone." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . There are beautiful things in this world. There are terrible things in this world. But one thing that's always stuck in the middle of it all is love. Because love is Suicidal in the most beautiful way.Concluida
