Prologue:
Hello, this is my first story, so please don't judge. In a world where our rights are being eroded by politics and laws, I invite you to reflect on love, freedom, and self-worth. Romeo and Juliet is a timeless tale, but beyond the romance, it highlights the struggles of living in a world of control and expectations-struggles we still face today.
Why are we letting others dictate our lives? Just as Romeo and Juliet sought connection beyond the barriers of their world, we too must unite, support one another, and challenge the systems that seek to control us. Love is powerful, but self-love is revolutionary. It's about reclaiming our power, believing in our worth, and refusing to be silenced.
This isn't just a story about love; it's a call to action. Let's push forward, challenge the status quo, and fight for the respect and equality we deserve. Let's unite, stand strong, and never give up.
If you agree, disagree, love, or hate what I've written, please, express yourselves. Because if we never listen, we shall never move forward. #girls #Faith #Believe #JustWriteIt #Equal #Love #Wattys #nonfiction #fiction #relationships

"If I will be given a chance to save him, I will do everything. Even if it costs my life." Is it forbidden to love someone you once had? The person you once shared your feelings with is now married. Is it real? Is it the only reason why Scion run away without even saying a word, not even 'goodbye'? Wait, how and why did I met him in the first place? Why did I like his guts and turned to love? Was he even worth the love I have? Sovran, his best friend is worthy but I believe he is too much because he's too good for my stubborn heart. "If you need me, I'll be there because I care. You can cry on my shoulder as longer as you can." Sovran is always there all the time waiting in front of our school to take me to places he feels nice for me. I dated some guys just to forget him, to move on and to heal my broken heart. Escaping from this mess is too hard for me to do. The effort I did was too much that I have broken myself by flirting, enjoying parties and studying. No matter what I do, I always look for that idiot Scion who is always hot later cold and keeps on annoying me that he would even embarrass me for expecting. "Do you think I could kiss you? You're not hot enough to deserve me." He will laugh and mocks me hard. I thought he is evil and cold in touch but I have seen the truth, the real Scion behind him. "I won't do anything that we will both regret. Even if you force me, I won't give in." He held me in his arms soaked in the tub until the drug has passed out. I have loved the two sides of him and if I will be given a chance to save him, I will do everything. Even if it costs my life.

OceanSight Blogs
Hi, A few years back I began my blogger's journey. Now it's time when I archive them all here and share with you all. But before that let me do the little formality and introduce you the blogger, the writer, the artist behind this all. Hey I'm Ocean, a dreamy girl, who has completed her college studies of fashion designing from a few years back and then stepped into the writing world. Though writing was already a big part of me since my school days, but now it has become a professional practice too. Other than writing and designing, I pretty much like photography and travelling. And the things which I love to do in my free time is dancing, listening to music - hindi classicals, qawwali, ghazal, indie-pop or fusions are my favourite, other than that watching movies/series - Classics, Rom-Com, Action, Thrill, Sci-Fi - ALL! and studying film-making. Behind the scenes always hit different to me. So, the big question! What this blog archive is about? And the answer is - it's about all those things which interests me and how I have worked around it and published them as blogs. Yes, it includes everything, things I just mentioned above. And all the things I find fascinating, the things I write about, think about and feel about. The things we share with people and the things which we do not share with people. A place - where thoughts, imagination and creation are put together. The world is seen differently every next day and yet it seems the same. To add one more difference or maybe show a similarity, I'm here to put the view from OceanSight! This is about everything for everyone or maybe a single thing for just that someone, who knows! The raindrops fall down equally towards the ground, how they are embraced and how they are accepted is totally different! So, those, who are interested in exploring new things OR connect with old memories, are welcome... here! Thank You! Te veo pronto!
The Space Between Our Lines
Have you ever felt a love that lives in silence, in the spaces no one notices? A longing that trembles in your chest but never finds its voice? What if the one who could fill the emptiness inside you is the one you are too afraid to reach for? What if every almost, every hesitation, every word left unsent has been shaping your life more than you realize? Can you find the courage before fear takes over? Can you cross the spaces that keep you apart without breaking yourself? What if the person you were meant to love has been walking beside you all along, yet you never dared to see them? What if the life you dream of exists only in the moments you almost live it? What if letting go is the only way to hold on? And when the lines between hope and heartbreak blur, will you recognize what you've been searching for before it slips away forever? In the quiet between longing and choice, between love and fear, the question remains for you, for me, for every heart that dares to hope: can we step into the life and the love that has been waiting for us all along?
Flip Sides Of The Same Coin We Call Life
This romance autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 72 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope is gone, unrelenting loneliness and extremely deep re-occurring depressions. Flip sides of the same coin we call life. I've survived impossible accidents that should have killed me. I've filed bankruptcy twice, loosing half a million dollars of real estate. I haven't had a car in 10 years, rent a furnished apartment and all I own is a cellphone, television, and computer. I've had 20 different careers. Naming a few, I've been a foreman in a steel foundry, automobile salesman, district manager overseeing a 15-million-dollar territory, owner of a television/appliance retail company, store manager responsible for 80 employees, retail manager in the cellular industry, and a dealer for one of the largest casinos in the nation. Some of the wise decisions I thought I was making turned out to be really ridiculous. When writing these down, I wondered how on earth could I have possibly been that stupid. You'll find many that are quite hilarious. I started jotting down thoughts on a cell phone memo pad over 15 years ago. These writings have turned into eighteen manuscripts. An author has the natural talent to paint pictures with words; I do not possess that skill set. Quite by accident, I've developed into a writer. We are entering into an era of magnificent beauty, perfect harmony, perpetual joy, growing wisdom, pure truth, unending peace and unconditional love. You'll read of miracles that I and others have personally witnessed. There are no other logical explanations for what occurred. I've documented everything as accurately as memory permits. Read with an open mind and develop your own conclusions. Our awakening transcendence is occurring now. BobComplete
Melissa
Melissa: She has a story in her eyes. "You. Are. Mine." He said, emphasising each word so that they carve in my brain. "No. Stop it." A tear stained my cheeks. His teeth grazed my neck, leaving angry marks. A soft whimper escaped my mouth. "I won't let you leave me. Do you hear me?" He whispered menacingly in my ears. His mouth captured my ear lobe and sucked it. The sensation was both painful and pleasurable. "I don't love you." I uttered those painful words which weren't true. "You are hurting me." I tried to push him but he was too strong. He laughed. His laughter hurt my ears. "I'm gonna fućk your brains out. You'll forget those words. Don't hurt me, Melissa. Or i'll hurt you worse." He threatened me. I let the tears fall. I have to be strong but how can i be strong when i have to fight against my strength? "I don't love you. Let me go!" He left me. Forever.
