Both of them were the pillars to their friends. Helping them when it gets chaotic. Sometimes the troublemaker but oftentimes the peacemaker. One situation challenges their friendship. He was engaged. He was devastated. He hated being forced to marry without his consent. Without love. Driven by his desperation they both came up to a plan. A fake engagement. A fake marriage. A fake relationship.

What if the person you love... doesn't belong in your time? Sanay siyang maniwala na everything in life is a choice-walang destiny, walang nakatakda. Pero isang gabi, nagising siya sa isang memory na hindi pa nangyayari. A memory of a boy she has never met... yet somehow, her heart already knows him. Habang lumilipas ang mga araw, unti-unting nagiging totoo ang lahat-mga lugar na parang napuntahan na niya, mga sandaling paulit-ulit na nangyayari, at isang koneksyon na hindi maipaliwanag ng kahit anong logic. He appears in the most unexpected moments-like a glitch in time, like a story that keeps rewriting itself. At sa bawat pagkikita nila, mas lalong lumalalim ang nararamdaman niya. But time is not on their side. May kapalit ang bawat pagbabago. Every second they spend together, something else falls apart. At habang pinipili niyang manatili sa kanya, unti-unti naman siyang nawawala sa mundong dapat niyang kinalalagyan. If you had the chance to change everything... would you choose the right timeline, or the one person your heart can't let go? Dahil minsan, kahit gaano mo kagustong ipaglaban- Time will decide who you're meant to lose... and who you're allowed to love.

Hi, guys! I'm a journalist and creative from Brazil and I've been meaning to write a personal essay for quite some time. Hope you like it! :) I guess we all struggle with fear one way or the other so my story might, somehow, resonate with you. I tend to think I'm quite a courageous person. Nevertheless, due to various circumstances, fear has become a constant companion through the years, a mate even. The pandemic only made it worse, as I suddenly found myself in a new and disturbing category of humans: that of the "immunocompromised". Follow me on my journey to get to the other side of fear.

"You are the star that illuminates the darkest part of my life."- Jericho Van Villasquez.

Hi everyone , I am an Indian writer. I want to clear it at the beginning that you might not agree to everthing that I might project or like to express but I believe that everyone have different perspectives and we should respect it until and unless it is criminal suicidal or harmful for our society. So if you dont agree that's okay I am not forcing my views on any one so dont force your's on me ,just don't post negativity about it. Because in our life's most of the disputes start because of having different perspective and trying to proove that what you think is right well if we stop doing that and just listen instead of bursting out everytime we might have peaceful life to live. Why to prove it that no, I am right and you need to agree that. Even if the other person dosent agree does that make a difference in your perspective it remains the same ,right. Silence is SOMETIMES better than words. And even, this is not a book kind of book like fantasy or fiction neither it is like poems I am just expressing my views on some topics that are closely related in my life. Also you might relate with it at some points. One more thig i am a proud Indian what i may write might be some controversial things but i want to let you know every country and its society have problems and even we have and i am just highlighting them. We always doscuss it among ourselves never speak ot out loud i find this platform worthy enough to highlight some problems. You are belonging to this society you cannot expect the change you have to be the change. I believe in equality and also believe that each and every person irrespective of their genders have gender related pressures and problems. THANKYOU.
