Kissing Cindy. Content Warning.
TAUGHT YOUNG Happily ever after was never what she was chasing. Cindy’s stepmother made certain of that. Jealous of a child who still believed in rescue, she taught Cinderella early that princes were not saviors; they were opportunities. That love, once offered, became leverage, and in a kingdom built on power, leverage was everything. She was taught to break hearts the way others broke bread: deliberately, without apology, and always to survive. The woman who taught her to wield love as a weapon would later frame her as a sunset of darkness for using it too well. Beautiful, blamed, and accused of causing darkness.

The Proof of the Red Suit. AI-Generated.
No one believed Oliver. Seven years old, with crooked glasses, a cowlick that defied gravity, and a brain that made even his science teacher pause mid-sentence, Oliver knew things other kids didn’t. He could solve quantum puzzles in his head before recess and once rewired the toaster to sing Jingle Bells. But no matter how many equations he got right or how many inventions he built from spare clock parts, no one—especially not the adults—believed him about Santa.

Too Bad: Not Regret, But Recognition. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Too Bad: Not Regret, But Recognition When I first heard Too Bad by King Princess, it didn’t just sound like a breakup song—it sounded like someone narrating the inside of my brain. Not the polished version of myself I try to present to the world, but the real version. The one living with bipolar disorder. The one who feels everything at full volume. The one who swings between wanting to hold someone close and wanting to disappear into the next room, the next idea, the next mood.

Best Bible Version for Simple & Clear Understanding. AI-Generated.
The Best Bible Version When You Need Simple, Clear Understanding: The Contemporary English Version (CEV) For many people, reading the Bible can feel overwhelming. Ancient wording, unfamiliar grammar, and symbolic language often make Scripture difficult to understand, especially if you’re new to studying the Bible or returning to it after a long time. If you’ve ever opened a passage and thought, “I have no idea what this means,” you’re far from alone.

The Buried Lovely Bones. AI-Generated.
The attic smelled of dry wood, dust, and something faintly sweet—like forgotten childhoods. Elise hadn’t meant to end up there. She’d only come back to her mother’s house to help clean out old things, now that the doctors had officially used the word “downsizing” like a polite dagger. But the attic had called her like a whisper under the floorboards. And there, wedged in an old black plastic shelf between ChildCraft books and a moldy paperback of Diary of a Whimpy Kid, she found it.

Alpha Door. AI-Generated.
It started with a keyhole. Not a traditional brass-and-tumbler relic from humanity’s past, no—but a sliver of space carved into the hyperdimensional composite wall of the Outer Daycare, pulsing faintly with locked intention. The door itself was labeled in a language older than planets, but translated helpfully for the young ones:

Routines Keep the Mood Clean. Content Warning.
Routines can help keep the mood clean—well, cleaner. I struggle with Bipolar Disorder, and if you do too, then welcome. This is a place to learn something and own it with a great attitude. I won’t lie—it’s hard. The highs, the lows, the mania-fueled spending sprees, and the drawer full of half-baked hobbies. You know the one. Mine is packed with crochet equipment, resin art, an unopened puzzle, and a very expensive art set I bought during a spending spree. I call it my “Kate Middleton Drawer” so many hobbies all the while being a princess —except I look more like Adam Sandler when I’m doing any of those things. (Comfort > couture, every time.)

Do I Blame Myself?. Content Warning.
Do I blame myself? Yes and no. I went with this guy fishing one day. He asked me, and I said yes—believing that my tomboyish style made me just one of the guys. I didn’t think much of it. He was my father’s friend. Not one of the older ones, but still someone I thought I could trust. I didn’t expect him to be so determined—or that he would have everything planned.
