I never had the chance to know my father. My mother always told me that he left us when I was just two weeks old. It's frustrating to think about it. My mother had a difficult upbringing herself, leaving home at the tender age of 12. I feel lost, not knowing where my extended family might be. I tried broaching the topic with my mother before she passed away, but it didn't go well. I let it rest, as I knew it would hurt her to revisit those memories.Now that she's gone, I can't help but feel deceived by her actions. She's no longer here to provide me with the answers I seek. I'm left alone with my estranged stepfather, who wants nothing to do with me. Even if she had disclosed the whereabouts of my family, it wouldn't have been easy, but at least I would have had someone to lean on during difficult times. I don't blame her, though. She had her burdens to bear. She couldn't even find solace with her own family, who were abusive. Nevertheless, I still love her as my mother.Our bond has

YOU MAKE ME INSECURE Chapter 4: Flawed perspectives
I find myself in a peculiar situation as I join Ronald on our way to his house, ostensibly for a casual coffee outing. However, deep down, I sense there is more to this encounter than meets the eye. We both harbour undisclosed desires and intentions, hesitant to reveal our true feelings. I may have convinced myself that I was going for a simple coffee and charming conversation, but I know that Ronald has something more in mind. His eyes speak volumes, revealing his yearning for me, and I, too, ache for him intensely. Yet, I must ensure that my desire aligns with what is genuinely suitable for me. By his side, where I belong, Ronald sees this as his chance to finally attain what he has always wanted: to have me in his bed before I change my heart and seek another partner.

It happened so fast that Divine didn't even have the time to act on it. Divine's body language changed. She was shaking. She could feel a certain tension between her and Ronald. She wanted him so bad. She wanted him to hold her, feel him inside her. She tried to touch him and connect with him, but she was afraid to make a move. All she wants is for Ronaldo to make a move, but she doesn't know how to voice that out. She does not wish to send the wrong impression to Ronald. If he makes the first love, then she can act on it. "If we are going to be a thing, you need to be free when you are around me and stop being frightened. I won't break your heart, and I love you." He confides her, and she looks down. She doesn't trust him yet. She has
