Authentic Stories

some tragic, some not. just transparent poetry

Simple as that... the mind plays tricks on us, sabotages us - thoughts seem to want to pull us deeper underwater. It's an entire war with the subconscious... you end up being controlled by the fictional ideas in your head more than by real life itself. This book can be seen as my personal journal - my anchor between the real world and the subconscious. It was especially created to help those who overthink and silently destroy themselves from within. Each chapter is meant to help us quiet the subconscious from sabotaging who we truly are. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did writing it.

What if the roles we play are just cages we build ourselves? Dr. Maya Osei is a therapist specializing in BDSM relationships, and she's exhausted. Every day, she sees couples tearing themselves apart trying to fit rigid roles-dominant, submissive, switch-as if the authenticity of their desire depended on their ability to stay in a box. She sees James insisting he's "a dominant by nature" while secretly dreaming of letting go. She sees Veronica forcing herself to be submissive when she sometimes wants to lead. The ideology of role fixity in the kink community is destroying exactly what it was meant to liberate: authentic desire. So Maya begins formulating a radical theory: what if roles were fluid? What if dominant and submissive weren't identities but states, contextual responses to the needs of the moment? What if true synergy in a relationship came from the ability to dance between roles rather than being locked into them? What begins as a therapeutic hypothesis becomes a personal revolution when Maya must apply her own theory to her life-and discover that deconstructing others' roles is easier than deconstructing her own.

A collection of Poetry and Short Stories throughout my life. It is technically my story.

Exposed is a deeply vulnerable poem about learning to be seen without hiding. It explores emotional growth, quiet intimacy, and the kind of love that no longer comes from desperation or performance. Through soft moments, honest reflection, and raw self-awareness, the poem captures what it feels like to stand emotionally unguarded - not because of weakness, but because of strength. It is about choosing openness, embracing imperfection, and realizing that vulnerability can exist without shame.

I thought the worst thing I'd deal with was a hangover and Leo's awful impressions. Turns out, I was wrong. Because today, the sun decided not to show up, and, oh yeah, every adult over twenty? Dead. Gone. Just us kids left in the pitch-black world to figure out what the hell's happened. Now it's me, Archie, Leo, Eli, and a bunch of clueless teens against... well, whatever's out there in the dark. Cheers to growing up, I guess.

Suppression is death's comfort zone and authenticity is life's sanctuary

I survived a stroke and decided to write to show people how precious life is. In this collection, every verse is a journey. Inspired by the natural rhythm of the English language and the liquid fluidity of its sounds, I explore what it means to be alive-from the quietest lake to the fiercest fire. This is my tribute to the flow of existence!!! Credits: Poetry: Nando Poeta Cover Photo: M.Quintas Typography/Design: Nando Poeta

If you are looking for a dining experience that combines stunning views with authentic Mediterranean flavors, Grand Konak at the Singapore riverside is a destination you cannot miss. Specializing in Turkish and Lebanese cuisine, this restaurant offers a perfect blend of rich culture and modern Singaporean charm. An Unbeatable Ambiance The highlight of Grand Konak is undoubtedly its alfresco dining area. Situated right along the water, the seating area is sheltered by iconic, futuristic white canopies that provide shade while allowing the cool river breeze to flow through. The furniture features beautiful blue and white mosaic patterns, reminiscent of traditional Middle Eastern tile work, making the space feel both exotic and welcoming. It is an ideal spot for a romantic date or a relaxed dinner with friends while watching the boats pass by on the Singapore River. Authentic Turkish & Lebanese Flavors Beyond the views, Grand Konak brings the "Great Mansion" (Konak) experience to life through its food. The menu is a celebration of two of the world's most flavorful cuisines: ● Turkish Delights: Expect perfectly grilled kebabs, fragrant pides (Turkish pizza), and rich, syrupy Baklava. ● Lebanese Classics: From creamy hummus and smoky baba ganoush to fresh tabbouleh and crispy falafel, the appetizers (Mezze) are perfect for sharing. Why You Should Visit Whether you are a local or a tourist, Grand Konak offers a unique "East meets West" atmosphere. The restaurant's interior is elegant and modern, while the outdoor area captures the vibrant energy of Singapore's nightlife. As the sun sets and the city lights begin to reflect on the water, there is no better place to enjoy a cup of traditional Turkish tea or a hearty Lebanese feast than right here at the water's edge.

Low sugar rhubarb strawberry jam might seem like a strange combination which is low in sugar and made with no pectin. This jam is great for vegetarians, vegans, and a gluten-free diet. If you would like to add a different touch to your jam, I suggest adding some fresh ginger, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Any of these will give it a nice zing to it. The Strawberry Rhubarb Jam is ideal for breakfast, served over a toast with or without butter. I like to enjoy it as well over yogurt or porridge with some chopped fresh berries. There are two ways to preserve Strawberry Rhubarb Jam: - Jarring it will keep your sauce good for 8 to 12 months and ready to use for many recipes, that will still taste summer. This long time will be achieved only if all the canning steps are followed, including a proper sanitization of jars and lids. - Refrigerating: you can place it in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks
