n. the heavy disappointment of being unable to fly, unable to stretch out your arms and vault into the air, unable to leave the weight of people's expectations lifeless on the ground below you. Flight is your reason for being but a gravitational force keeps you tied to the ground, your feathers whither and fall, your wings waste away on foreign land. 

This obscure feeling sits in Asante's heart like lead, a sinking feeling takes over whenever she dreams of what waits for her outside the world she knows now, the world she's been tied down to her entire life. What happens if she finds an escape? Will a life of freedom be worth everything she's destroyed to get there?

The Deconstruction of Eliz de Rossy1eliz
22 partes Concluida Contenido adulto
When you see someone act outside of what you consider normal, do you judge or help them? How does a grown-up who grew up in a world not conditioned for her behave? How does bullying affect adulthood? This story is for introverts. If your life is rosy and optimistic, you should leave; you won't be able to handle it. Eliz struggles with anxiety and feels disconnected from others. Consequently, she imagines a fantasy world that parallels her own, where she has everything she cannot attain in real life. Her lack of experience is leaving her with doubts about neurodiversity, depression, her sexuality, and the loneliness that comes from her introversion. She struggles to find the strength to face a world where people do not see her as human and project their insecurities onto her, clinging to her "antidotes" as she calls them: a furbaby named Sky, music, chocolate, and Netflix. Without a support system around her, she uses all the stories she sees on the screens as a compass in her life and hopes to get the same result. Because if it works on TV, why not for her? She expresses what she can't convey through words in her mind by using analogies of TV characters or songs. Eliz ponders whether there's a place for her, viewing life through the lens of a mother who had to raise her alone and a sister who resembles a model from a magazine. A friend who is more of a friend when both are doing badly and a job she got because of dropping out of college. Add being monosyllabic, withdrawn, and a boss she doesn't know how to talk to because she "thinks" she's interested in him, but what does she do with that? Come in and look at the mess in her head, hidden behind a desk answering phones. Eliz is repetitive and full of insecurities. She is afraid of her shadow, kind of crazy, but with a good heart. © Registered in SAFE CREATIVE 2304104018014©All rights reserved.

eudaimonia - pronounced "ˌyüdēˈmōnēə" (noun) meaning: ultimate fulfillment, happiness, etc. can also be used in the context of a strong desire to travel •─────⋅☾⊱♰⊰☽⋅─────• Io is not normal. She is aware of the things that the servants and handmaidens say about her. She also doesn't care. She just wants to leave. It all changes, however, when she gets exactly what she wished for, but at a price. Years of turning away suitors led her parents to take her life in their own hands, and they shipped her off to the other side of the world to carry out an arranged marriage with the handsome Prince Caspian, heir to the Shah of the Sand Nomads. Io knew that as far as future husbands went, she lucked out. Caspian was kind and considerate-however, the only issue was that on the day of their wedding, his older sister, Callisto, would be sacrificed in honor of their marriage. Io didn't like murder to begin with, but as she befriended Callisto, she realized that she didn't want to say goodbye just yet. They all go on a trip together to celebrate their last bit freedom, but somewhere along the way, their wanderlust takes control and they run away to explore the world on their own terms. But when no one is there to keep them from discovering certain places, they learn many things about both them and their pasts: they aren't who they think they are. The more secrets that come out, the less they want to return. But knowledge is dangerous, and once it's discovered, there is no going back. •─────⋅☾⊱♰⊰☽⋅─────• Huge thanks to @TaeTaeGinger for cover design!
Mrs. Avery de RejectedConcepts
47 partes Concluida Contenido adulto
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏
