She never asked to be chosen. She was forced to survive being kept. Sneha stepped into Rayen Raizada's life during its darkest hour- a coma, a child who needed a mother, and a world ruled by power, fear, and obsession. What began as duty slowly turned into attachment, and attachment into a love neither of them was prepared for. Rayen is dangerous, controlling, and broken by loss. Sneha is quiet, resilient, and stronger than she believes. Between them stands a past soaked in blood, a child who fears being abandoned, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. When love, motherhood, and vengeance collide, Sneha must fight not only for her life-but for the fragile family she built from ashes. This is not a soft love story. It is about possession, sacrifice, healing, and choosing love even when it hurts. A dark romance about a woman who was caged- and the man who had to learn how to let her breathe.

In their first year of college, Ixzhyke Glaize Navarrete, a bubbly rich girl with a bright smile and an even brighter imagination, finds herself instantly drawn to Achilles Jace Vanguardia, the quiet top student who always seems lost in his case readings. They are complete opposites: she is friendly, loud, a little clueless, and full of humor, while he is distant, calm, academically unstoppable, and focused on surviving as a working student. Ixzhyke falls first, crashing into his world with her sunshine energy until the walls around him begin to crack. And before he even realizes it, Achilles is falling harder than he ever planned to, pulled in by the one girl he never expected would catch him so effortlessly.

This is my coping mechanism. I love poetry and feel like it's the only anchor for me some days. I thank those who have me strength to share. I write about Trauma and dark moments of my life so if those aren't for you neither is this.

And as she lets go of that control, she quickly comes to realise that being herself, with no one to tell her how to handle it, is scary. It's an unknown territory for her and as she struggles to give in to anything but fear, the one thing she needs is someone to confide in. Enter Karma Akabane. Will trusting him be the thing that saves her... or the thing that proves she was right to be afraid all along?

Some struggles are invisible. You can look fine and still feel like you're falling apart inside. This is my story of living with depression and anxiety-not a perfect recovery, but a real experience of trying to understand myself, survive difficult days, and slowly move forward. It's not about being fixed. It's about learning to live.

She knows someone is watching her. He knows she already knows-she just won't admit it. Because deep down, you and I both know... this was always going to happen. Ava begins college life trying to reset after a rough past but suddenly, little things start to go wrong: her door unlocked when she swore she locked it, familiar cologne in the air, misplaced notes returned with hearts drawn in the margins. She's gaslighting herself-thinking it's stress, trauma, or paranoia.

I'm scared of the love I have for you. Because I know it will ruin me. And I also know that I will let it. The Pitt / Yolanda Garcia 2026

Love is a complex neurobiological phenomenon, relying on trust, belief, pleasure and reward activities within the brain, limbic processes. These processes critically involve oxytocin, vasopressin, dopamine, and serotonergic signaling. Moreover, endorphin and endogenous morphinergic mechanisms, coupled to nitric oxide autoregulatory pathways, play a role. Naturally rewarding or pleasurable activities are necessary for survival and appetitive motivation, usually governing beneficial biological behaviors like eating, sex, and reproduction. Yet, a broad basis of common signaling and beneficial neurobiological features exists with connection to the love concept, thereby combining physiological aspects related to maternal, romantic or sexual love and attachment with other healthy activities or neurobiological states. Medical practice can make use of this concept, i.e., mind/ body or integrative medicine. Thus, love, pleasure, and lust have a stress-reducing and health-promoting potential, since they carry the ability to heal or facilitate beneficial motivation and behavior. In addition, love and pleasure ensure the survival of individuals and their species. After all, love is a joyful and useful activity that encompasses wellness and feelings of well-being. © Pepe Peperino

A poem for people who struggle to find true friends This poem is for people who struggle to find true friends

One day, Rumi and Mira hear Zoey humming a song, chuckling happily, and dancing around. After Zoey lashes out at them for going into her business, then extends her two middle fingers toward them, Mira demands she apologize. Later that day, Zoey claims she was just "tired." After Mira squashes Rumi's foolhardy plan to secretly follow Zoey the next day, not wanting to get on Zoey's "bad side," they ask her about it the next morning. What they learn catches them off guard. It almost turns their world upside down: their friend is dating a free-spirited young vocalist from a Japanese girls band! None of them expect what is coming when they hear that a mysterious band will be playing in downtown Seoul, a band only known by the initials of "TT"...
