Coping Stories

Hayden is top of his class in school. He's smart, talented, and committed to making his parents proud. He hides every part of himself but his knowledge away in dark corners, keeping it invisible to everyone else. At night, when no one's watching, he drowns his stress in children's toys and cartoons, trying to keep his mind sharp for school. He hates himself for who he is behind closed doors, but he knows no better way to deal with his stress. During the day, he is a genius and his parents' greatest success. However, those titles come with very heavy burdens. He wonders how no one sees him, until one day, someone finally does. Felix is the exact opposite of Hayden: he makes bad grades, he doesn't care to impress anyone, and he's open about his feelings. That doesn't mean he's a happy person. He's been passed from foster home to foster home since he was four years old. No matter how well-behaved he tried to be, no one wanted him. He knew no comfort, but he taught himself how to offer comfort to others. He had no love to give, but he gave it anyway, served right off of silver platters. No one ever seemed to appreciate it, until he met someone who needed love just as much as he did.

Words for when living feels heavy. Meant to be felt, not solved.

The Villaus Trio. All 33 of them went to have a one-on-one Therapy session with Uncle Iroh in The Spirit World.

This ensemble story explores the families we are born into, the ones we choose, and the courage it takes to stand together through life's trials. In Part I: Stand By Me, Army JAG Lieutenant Kaci Tierney begins a new chapter in San Antonio, navigating military life as an autistic woman while carrying grief from her mother's death. Surrounded by family and chosen loved ones, Kaci and those around her confront old wounds, unexpected love, and what it truly means to let someone stand by you. Her father, Cormac, seeks connection after personal loss; Mick Scavo, estranged from his family, learns loyalty can be chosen; Kellen Tierney adjusts to post-military life; and Valencia Aguilar, Kaci's best friend, begins to reclaim her own strength. In Part II: Standing As One, the story deepens as the characters navigate the challenges of caring for one another and building found family. Bianca Tierney adjusts to life as a new mother while learning to trust again. Gomez Cordero, an Army JAG, takes on guardianship of his nephew and niece while confronting difficult family dynamics. Jesse Holland faces the legacy of early loss, while his mother, Tara Sorenson, discovers that love and new beginnings are possible even after decades of grief. Maren Scavo continues forging a life free from the expectations that once defined her. From learning to stand by one another to ultimately standing as one, these interconnected lives explore grief, healing, love, and loyalty-and the power of chosen family in shaping who we become.

Just some pathetic poems I've been writing for awhile.

It's no secret that the De Villiers twins' relationship was strained to say the least. One was the prodigal son while the other was a vulgar, manic oddball. How Hawkmoth hadn't found them before was beyond all who knew them. With the Miraculous holders scrambling to form a team could the fantastical fits of these mischievous brothers go unchecked or is the answer in a serpent searching for a new start? Trigger warnings: favoritism, repression, depression, self-loathing, complicated grief, graphic imagery(mostly Remus), intrusive thoughts, talk of mental health, death dreams, violence, bullying, slight unsympathetic Roman, and near death.

I lost my Mom at 15 on Valentines day I lost my Dad at 21 on Christmas eve Not seeking any sympathy just pure therapy. Ever wonder what it's like to be looking in the sky and be there in the actual moment? I badly wanted to be there, not just looking at it 5 years in the future.

How I imagine being in love, once more. true love. good love. unconditional love. The feeling of longing for a home that never was. A deep and irrational bond felt with a time, era, place or person.
