just like i wanted
chapter6 just like i wanted "it isn't what you think!" i protest. it's obvious to me that Carter thinks i'm rejecting a part of him. and it makes sense that he would feel spurned and judged when i distance from his habit. honestly, there isn’t another way to interpret my dissociation from his perspective, but it is the intention and motive for my pushback that i wish to give my personal definition to.

Leo Woman and Scorpio Man Compatibility Score. AI-Generated.
When a Leo woman meets a Scorpio man, sparks don’t just fly — they ignite a wildfire of emotion, passion, and magnetism. These two zodiac signs are both fixed in their nature, meaning they are determined, strong-willed, and fiercely loyal to what they love. But their shared intensity can either create a magnetic, unbreakable bond or lead to a fiery clash of egos if not carefully balanced.

The Message She Never Got to Read
**The Missed Message** The night was quiet, except for the sound of rain hitting the window. **Ethan** sat on his bed, staring at his phone screen. His fingers hovered over the keyboard as he typed — and deleted — the same message again and again.

A Train Journey That Changed Two Hearts Forever

The American Dream of Homeownership Has Aged (Literally)
A new report from the National Association of Realtors shows the median age of U.S. homebuyers has climbed to 56 in 2024, the oldest on record — up from 31 in 1981. For first-time buyers, the median age has risen from 29 to 38, reflecting how much harder it’s become to buy a home early in life. This 25-year jump marks a fundamental shift in affordability and access. Median home prices have surged to roughly $420,000, while the median household income is about $79,000 — far below the $110,000+ estimated to comfortably afford that home at current mortgage rates of 7–8%. In 1981, a typical home cost about three times the average household income; today, it’s closer to five-and-a-half times, and much higher in many metro areas.

2020: A Ghost Story
I am very much someone who wants to be loved. I try to be realistic about it. I don't want the fairytale; I just want someone I can love who will love me in return. I don't expect a love without fights or flaws; I know that perfection doesn't exist, especially when two different lives converge. Growing up, I didn't have many good examples of a healthy relationship. My mom and dad divorced when I was two and a half; my mom eventually remarried, but their relationship was far from perfect. Some of my earliest memories are of them fighting and my mom packing me into the car in the middle of the night. Things really turned sour for them once my brother was diagnosed with autism. Whatever love had once existed between them was replaced with anger and bitterness. Their fighting became more frequent and intensified. Even though they hate each other, they still live together for my brother's sake. I always knew that that was not the kind of love that I wanted for myself.
