Welcome to the chaotic middle ground of "almost there but not quite." The Irony in Adulting is your unapologetic guide through the hilarious, frustrating, and oddly poetic mess that is growing up - when you're still treated like a child but expected to function like a full-blown adult.
Through witty rants, late-night realizations, and painfully relatable anecdotes, this book cracks open the contradictions of modern adulthood: being told to "take your time" but also "hurry up," being praised for independence yet scolded for not doing things "their way."
This isn't a self-help book - it's a survival diary. A mirror that laughs with you, cries with you, and whispers, "you're not crazy - it really is this ironic."
Perfect for anyone navigating their twenties (or any age that feels like it's stuck between "still figuring it out" and "should've figured it out by now").
Because if adulting won't make sense... at least let it make you laugh.

The Lost Things
Throughout life, everyone saves something up. Mostly it is money or some little things like stamps and coins, but we all unconsciously collect emotions and memories our entire lives because we are human beings, and the mental world is more important to us than the physical one. However, this book is not going to be about our savings but our life-long losses. This is a book of lost things. It is partly autobiographical, but most of it is generalising. Because of the topic, it may seem depressive. Partially it is. Again, we are talking about losses. But still, my goal is not to cause a reader's regret and sadness but to show the importance of certain minor things and maybe revive some kind of memories - no matter good or bad, walking along the life path of an ordinary person.Concluida

𝑀𝓎 𝐹𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉 𝒯𝒾𝓂𝑒 𝐿𝒾𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑔🤦🏾 ♀️😪
Teenage years are supposed to be fun, right? Yeah... Oyin missed that memo. Puberty didn't "glow her up", it dragged her. Life kept serving premium gbas gbos. God felt far. And being "the smart girl" suddenly stopped solving anything. This isn't a wild story. It's a true one.. raw, soft, and a little too relatable. A survival diary disguised as a book. Twenty phases of growing up without a manual: breaking, healing, repeating... and somehow still laughing through the chaos. If you've ever felt confused, overwhelmed, insecure, or like everyone else got life's instructions except you.. WELCOME !You're home. Read if you want something real, a little messy, and low-key comforting. Orr if you just want to feel seen for once. 🌚🤟🏾Concluida
Reincarnated as the Ultimate Side Character
I died the classic way: hit by Truck-kun on a rainy Tuesday while holding bubble tea and a tote bag full of manhwa. I know. Peak K-drama energy. Next thing I know, I wake up in one of those manhwas. You know the type: Love triangle? Check. Villainess with a tragic backstory? Check. Three jaw-dropping male leads fighting over one girl? Triple check. But plot twist: I'm not 𝐡𝐞𝐫. Not the heroine. Not the villainess. Heck, I'm not even the maid who overhears important secrets. I'm a 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫-Level: Background Furniture. My only scene was in Chapter 30 where I handed someone a fork. But that's fine. I've watched enough dramas and read enough webtoons to know one thing: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐜. 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞. Armed with half-remembered high school chemistry, useless trivia, and an unhealthy obsession with money-making hacks, I'm going to build a fortune in a world that hasn't even discovered electricity yet. ...Unless, of course, the plot finds me first.Concluida
I Did Not Read Freud
This is no longer a psychology book, for the writer is neither a psychologist nor a madman. It is more like a book of systematic analysis of everyday life, in order to try to illustrate what many people see, hear, feel, live and/or talk about on a day-to-day basis. That no one is normal, everyone knows. Because if we were normal, Jesus wouldn't say to be forgiven, because we don't know what we do. So, let's try to be enlightening and, who knows, be humorous, discussing the madness to which the human being is subject. Like it or not. When I chose this title, it was thinking that I didn't really read Freud, nor did I study psychology. But I've studied behavior and events for years. The only conclusion I came to is that everyone, somehow, needs to have a few more "percent" of their brain used. The only problem is that with so much to do and so much time to do nothing; using the brain becomes very tedious. Quite an arduous task, when you have so much to do and consequently; more fun. Warning: If something doesn't suit you, please; disregard. For here I will deal with many controversial things. Such as wanting to eat with a fork, in a kitchen that only has a spoon. Or expect money that the One who owes you has not yet received. Wash the car, and soon after, the rain comes. Another thing: If you don't like it, please justify your answer. But intelligently. If you like it, please justify your liking. And believe me, I am very happy knowing that I was useful in your life. Good reading.Concluida
Beatrice Miller
(On hiatus) This story is pure chaos. You have been warned. I had always thought the world was too dull. I dreamed of a fantasy world filled with magic. I was an orphan and had no attachments to the real world. I should have specified my wishes more. Being the next target of truck-sama wasn't exactly on my bingo card. When I opened my eyes I was in a new body in a new world. And there was magic. It was a dream come true despite my painful arrival. But there was something suspicious about the all too bright world. And what was with the ridiculously good looking people? I was inside a novel I knew that much. But what novel I didn't know. Follow Beatrice as she learns that she might just be cursed with a rather troublesome curse. She navigates events with sarcasm and no social skills and tries to avoid the heroine. --------- There might be a lot of typos. It's a reincarnation story inspired by the many reincarnation manhwas I've read so far but with my own twist. English is not my first language. I might not be the best at wording things.
