The Story of Us
Rosaline walked down the busy street with purpose, she was heading to a job interview with a prestigious business firm, she had been dreaming of working for this firm since she could remember; her father worked for this company for 30 years before he retired and now it was her turn. She was looking down at her phone checking a text from her father so she didn't see the man in front of her; the collision sent her phone up in the air, luckily the man had quick reflexes. He plucked the phone out of the air just as it started its descent to the ground, he reached out his hand to steady Rosaline before she could fall backward on her butt; she looked at him with a bit of wonder and astonishment. She looked him up starting from his sneakers going to his well-defined legs to his chiseled chest and finally landing on his gorgeous model-like face, he was smiling at her and still had his hands on her shoulders to steady her. She could not find the words to speak so she just kept staring at him with wide eyes; after about a minute of silence between them, the man decided to say something to make sure she was all right.

The Inheritance
Part 1 Rainbow Heart had never met the woman who left her the house but she claimed to be a distant relative of hers, and she was very clear about one thing in order for her to get the house she had to move in within a week, and so that is what she did. Everything was going great the first few weeks in the house but then she started to hear noises coming from one of the rooms on the third floor; every night she would hear footsteps and talking and then what sounds like a door open and close. After about a week of hearing this noise, she decided to investigate what was going on so she waited until the usual time the noise started and she slowly crept up to the door. She could hear talking coming from inside but she could not hear what was being said so she slowly twisted the doorknob. She was not ready for what she saw when she opened the door, standing next to a wooden door in the corner were two fairies looking very surprised to see her.

Veronica
Part 1 It’s not easy finding love in a town full of supernaturals but if you know what you are looking for then you should find the right one for you, I found a great guy a few years ago named Grant Jones; I mean sure he howls at the moon and has to hide in the woods once a month but he is still a great guy. We met when I was representing his company in a lawsuit, he owns a security company with a few of his friends from college and someone was trying to stiff him on a payment. It was love at first sight for me at least but that is what happens when you’re a hopeless romantic like myself; I was on my way home from picking up food from his favorite restaurant and something felt off. I didn’t know what I was going to be walking into but I really wasn’t prepared for what I saw, he was in the living room with one of his clients and they were in a very intimate position. I didn’t think about anything but getting out of there, I ran to my car but he was right behind me, he didn’t even bother to put on any pants, he just raced out after me, I didn’t want to hear anything he said so I took his voice with a spell.

The Shipmate
The Shipmate How It Started Being out in space can really make you think about your life choices, when I agreed to this mission I didn’t think that I would end up on an uninhabited planet with a creature helping me to survive until I can find a way home, but here I am. It all started the day my department was visited by the head people in charge of the company, they were looking for volunteers for a secret project that would soon be announced once they had everything in place. They were going around each department looking for people to participate in a series of tests, I was the last one they talked to and everyone else had already said they could not do it, it helps that I was the only one without a family. Both my parents were gone and I was an only child so I was the perfect candidate for the project, however, I still had to complete the test in order to be selected for the project. The tests were relatively easy to do but I was not the only one buzzing through them, there was a man from another department who was also having an easy time with them so I was really nervous about beating him.

The Wonderful World of Me
Hey, y'all, it seems this part of my mental health journey is over and while it was a crazy ride with ups and downs I know the journey is just getting started and I have many more facets to explore when it comes to me and my mental state. Summing everything up, we learned that my childhood has a lot to do with how I behave like an adult and that I have not only ADHD but also anxiety which lead me to want to learn more about mental health and get my degree. For this last part, I want to talk about where I am with all of this and where I want to go from here because I have a lot more to learn about myself and I know that I can’t stop now that I have started. My exploration into a world that I knew nothing about was one of my greatest decisions, and I can honestly say that I am glad that made that decision although sometimes I feel like it made the choice for me. As for now, I just want to sit with what I have learned about myself and use that as a way to make me a better person and really dive deep and work on what I need to, to feel half like a normal person.

A Woman's Journey to Self Discovery
It seems we have made it to the end of this story, but the journey is far from over, I am still discovering things about myself and that is what it is all about, learning new secrets about your personality that you didn’t know were there. I figured out a lot about myself from simply looking inside while I was writing about this journey, there were things that hadn’t thought about until I started writing about where I came from to where I am now. We talked about how I thought for a long time that I was straight only to figure out that I like both men and women only again to figure out that it was more than that and learn that I like a person’s personality more than gender or sex. I even touched on possibly being polyamorous which is having the ability to have romantic feelings for more than one person, this is something that I think about sometimes. This last part will be about where I go from here and how learning all of this has shaped me into the person that I am today; learning about myself is something I take truly do seriously.

Throwback Society
Hey guys, lovely to see you again; this chapter is all about online shopping and how once there was no more online, shopping became something of a challenge for those who got used to just ordering something and having it come right to their door. Once the online stores realized they had to find a new way to sell their products they quickly started looking for new ways to showcase their items and get people to buy them at the same prices as online. It was not easy for some stores to stay open and a lot of them had to close down due to lack of business, these stores did not know how to conduct a business that was not online and so fell to the more business savvy stores. I will say this, it did get rid of a lot of people who thought they could start a business without knowing what they are doing, it really takes research and know-how to open a store and keep it running. Even I had a little online business selling handmade jewelry that I had to give up because I didn’t have the means to open a shop and trying to get a booth at a swap-meet was impossible unless you know someone.

Manifesting Dreams
We all have wants and needs that we say to ourselves but refuse to put out into the universe because we are scared that they won't happen for us, we are afraid to make the want a real thing in case we fall short of the goal that we set for ourselves. The time is now to put your wants out there because the worst that can happen is you don’t get it and in that case, you were never meant to have it; we need this now more than ever with everything that is going on in the world. The thing is, you can’t just talk about it, you have to be taking steps to make you want a reality; the universe will provide but only if you are halfway there and need a little bit of a push the rest of the way. I have seen the power of will work first hand, if you are determined and want it bad enough it will come to you all in due time but you have to have patience and know when to leave it alone. The topic of this article is all about speaking what you want into existence and going after what you want no matter how long it may take you to get it or how crazy you may think it is.

The Modern Woman's Struggle
Being a woman is hard work, with all the societal beauty standards and pressure to look a certain way it can be overwhelmingly hard to keep up with the next trend for women; there are all kinds of issues that women have to deal with in today’s day and age. You have men thinking they can tell you what to do with your body like we don’t know how to run our own lives, women have been running houses for years so I think we can manage our own bodies. It’s not just the men either, you have women who are ready and willing to tear another woman down rather than come together and try to make the world a bit more female-friendly. The struggles that a woman has to go through may not seem all that bad to some people but for the woman who is going through it it can feel like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. I want to talk about a few of these struggles and how they have been affected over the last few years, because yes, these issues have been touched on in one way or another and they need to be shown for how they have affected women.

The Wonderful World of Me
Oh hey, you came back, when last we spoke, we went from my childhood to me discovering what was really wrong with me and doing something about it and now we are going dive into how I deal with these issues on a day-to-day basis. Living with an issue that you have never had properly diagnosed is really hard because you know what is wrong with you but trying to explain it to people especially family can be difficult. Most of the time when I try to tell people, they assume it's an excuse because it always starts out normal but then they ask me to go out with them, and therein lies the problem, going out or even talking on the phone causes internal issues. I want to find love but don’t know how to do that with anxiety, because of the scariness of what could happen, it’s not even attempted sometimes, plus I get bored so easily that I will download a dating app only to delete it after a day or so. That is just what happens when it comes to dating and trying to explain to people what is going on with me even if they don’t believe me for most of the time.

A Woman's Journey to Self Discovery
I see you made it this far, great for you, now let’s keep going on my journey of self-discovery; when we last spoke, we talked about me figuring out I was bisexual and all that entailed, and now we are going talk about me realizing that gender doesn’t do it for me. On my road to learning about my bisexuality, I also learned about pansexuality which is not being attracted to a person based on their gender but being attracted to their personality instead. Speaking honestly, when I discovered that you could be attracted to a person’s personality and not just their gender or sex I felt the same way I did when I realized that you could like both sexes. Me realizing that I was more attracted to a person’s personality was not that big of a surprise to me, I have always said that I like people who like me and whether that is a man, a woman, or someone in between, that is ok with me.
