Sleeps In Sunbeams's answer page 38 (1083)
Not mine (I always block embarrassing memories, I can’t handle the cringe) but my friend was telling me about when she went to the beach with her kids. She had been relaxing on her beach towel and went for a dip before putting out some lunch. It was a lovely and warm day and she floated a couple of waves in.
When she looked at the beach her son......

I read an Omegaverse like that once. It was so sad coz the adult recognised his fated mate but they were still a child. So he approached the mom, told her, and asked to be part of the boys life. He kept everything very appropriate and loved the boy, but never let on how difficult it was for him. And he had a lot of joy too, so it was bittersweet.

I was a bit of a rough and tumble kid, so plenty of scars on my knees, elbows etc. My best doozy of a scar is on my palm from where I tried to force open a tin lid that was mostly open. I wiggled the lid back and forth in annoyance that it was still stuck. Impatience and too much force worked against me; my grip slipped, gravity and force played th......

I loved uni. It’s a mix of serious stress and pressure juggling due dates and exams with the freedom and fun that comes with uni. I found myself making lifelong friends in my course who I could study with and relax with. Sharing the pain of horrid assignments with our research spread all over tables and assorted cups of coffee in various stages o......

Ouch.. that’s a low blow.
I am not one who likes to hurt family just coz they have different ideals to me. I would rather agree to disagree because confrontation that gets heated like that simply puts a wall on communication.
Over time I have broadened some closed minds in my family. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging an opposing viewp......

It’s a lot of determination and zero social life unless you have a good study partner to work with, then a lot of determination and someone to chat with on brain breaks.
Assigning value to something like academic excellence is not something you can say isn’t really important because value is usually intrinsically determined and very personal.

I think part of it is simply the fantasy to be something totally different. Most of the authors we read have dark hair, dark eyes; if it’s an isekai their characters start with dark hair and eyes. So when they go to some fantasy alternate reality they get to be something very different. Or they get to be the only dark haired, dark eyed beauty in ......

I wasn’t interested at first but I was searching for artistic inspiration and stumbled upon characters that caught my eye.I had a friend who loved yaoi, and they got me intrigued. I looked at more art, read some blurbs and was drawn to the intensity and the elements of taboo and facing down prejudice for love. I started with something funny and a......
