The Moon and the Sun
In the beginning, when the world was new, the Moon and the Sun were not just celestial bodies illuminating the sky but beings filled with life, emotion, and stories of their own. They were deeply in love, their hearts intertwined in a dance that spanned the heavens.

The Machine
How can I describe how terrible things in my head have been in the past several years. I'm moving past everything alone it seems. I keep going higher and higher and everyone I ever cared about is on the same ladder of the rung. I hate my life honestly. Start to finish it's been nothing but fight after fight after fight. Every single one has been different and challenging for me in different ways and some all the ways in one time. When I look back at things I used to be excited about I wonder who that person was that used to smile and laugh all the time. Still angry to a degree, but nothing to the point I am now. Food tastes different, I have no will to take care of myself and I've been alone not lonely but alone for the entirety of it. Nothing moves unless I move it, and nothing flows unless I release the water. You see I have three businesses that I'm simultaneously trying to run. Real businesses, not the ones that people tell you they own and don't have any clients or profits coming in. Real business like I started two of them out of a 1-bedroom apartment on my laptop that have made profit in the two years and counting we've been open. Two years of tax returns showing the proof, websites, employees, the whole nine. I also have a girlfriend who I thought would help me build this all with me. That was my first mistake... never assume someone will help you regardless of their words or closeness in proximity to you they are all the time. Running a business has never been about working yourself into the ground and if you still think that read any book from the E-Myth series. Businesses run themselves, they are their own entity completely separate from your personal identity. A business is supposed to be a machine. The employees are cogs in said machine and the owner turns the handle, so it runs properly.

"Happy for Everyone Else Meter"
I went to the last of the four "friends" weddings that were on my books this year, and in lieu of supporting everyone else's love, I think I feel more lost within myself than ever. I cop the saying about how my "Happy for Everyone else meeter, is running low". In reality, it's hard to see everyone else have a person to share a dance floor with when I am alone. I know how selfish that sounds, but trust me, I hate myself enough for the both of us regarding this, nonetheless, it remains. It is kind of funny, in a cosmic comedic kind of way, how my favorite thing in this world is weddings as a photographer and videographer, yet I stand here alone selfishly divulging in my own pitty party of feeling like I don't fit anywhere while at this friends wedding.

A smile can hide so much pain
There is a widespread belief that positivity attracts positivity, even though I believe this is true to a degree, there isn’t necessarily a direct correlation. This belief has led people to be more inclined to socialize with positive persons and to resent negative persons.

Euphoria
Euphoria : feeling of extreme elation and well-being, often characterized by a sense of contentment and bliss Love, I always wondered what love is, how it feels to be loved and to be able to love. It's a shared chapter in all our lives. Once I thought I had it all figured out but it turns out that I was just miles away from understanding any of it. Yet, few of us ever truly figure it out, even after multiple attempts. However, I managed to find my beloved, and now, let me paint a picture of my chapter.

The Confession
**Introduction** As I sit here, pen in hand, I find myself contemplating the myriad of emotions that have brought me to this point. This is my confession, a story of self-discovery and acceptance. My name is Alex, and I am transgender. This is not just a story about my transition, but a journey through the labyrinth of identity, love, and courage.

Friday the 13th: I lost you... Saturday the 14th: The whole world lost you
She married him when she was 19. Still as innocent as a cloud and as innocent as any young man around that age. A first-year student at the University of Foreign Languages, she appears to be sharper than any girl she often meets, because of her observation and gaze that seems to penetrate the soul of the other person. She is passionate, worshipful and has a deep belief in astrology, or what many people call it by its beautiful scientific name: Horoscope. So much so that, after just a few contacts, she can guess what zodiac sign that person belongs to and what their personality is. This makes her incredibly confident about herself.

Love in the Rain. AI-Generated.
It was the first day of high school when Emily saw him. He stood by his locker, surrounded by friends, laughter echoing through the hallway. Jake was new to Cedar Ridge High, and his easy smile and confident demeanor caught her attention immediately. Emily, with her long brown hair and sparkling green eyes, was no stranger to the school, but she suddenly felt like a stranger in her own skin.
