They're cute! /clicky clicky Most romance novels are either YA fiction or those horrific women's erotica novels you find at the back of the Target book sections permanently on special at $5 for 5. I completely skipped YA fiction I think. At 14 I was reading Warriors and then I automatically switched to books about lawyers and stockbrokers. I understand that people like them but in my opinion most of them are atrocious and that movement has spawned some of the most hideous creations in literature. I hadn't read a book for pleasure since 2014 until right now where I'm reading 6 books: Tales of Angria by Charlotte Brontë; The New Prophecy: Midnight and Bluestar’s Prophecy; Three Dollars by Elliot Perlman; 1984 by George Orwell; and Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett. What're you reading atm? /parties

I used to read 10 medium books a week [I'm a fast reader, having read the twiligt series in less than a day with time left over to read other another book] I only take my time on a book I really like for example: eragon series, I got through half the book quixkly, but decided to savor it as I actually found myself enjoying it I loved that series. It was beautiful and I want to read it again actually. but I'm sure it's pricey on Amazon. I don't read much anymore, but I have tons of books on my kindle waiting to be read/re-read

Wow that's pretty impressive. I'm a fast-ish reader but not compared to you lol. I think I might've tried to get into Eragon but I never finished it? Or maybe that was Dragonrider.
I can't read ebooks, I find I get distracted and I love the feel of real books.

I can't afford real books, so I use a library or buy a book thats cheap on amazon and believe me, there are tons of good cheap books on amazon I got 314 series for 3.00 bucks a piece and that book you have to read twice to understand because it's so trippy and <33 I also like Death Whispers series, I got the bundle for pretty cheap //huge scifi fiction fan

Yeah I get mine cheap on the internet. Book Depository is good. I buy everything on the internet.
$3 is a great price, I got the original series of Warriors for $2.95/piece at a cheap book shop in the city. That's the only reason I got into them because they were cheap and they were about cats.
I haven't heard of that one, what's it about?
I just re-read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, have you read it?

I'll check that place out I was really happy b/c I loved the book and it's hard to find a book I love
Which one? Death Whispers or 314?
and No i haven't, I haven't read anything in two years. I used to read, but then I started dating this guy, and everything went down from there.

No lol I do have 73 books on my kindle tho, that I've already read not including books from fairs and libraries.
Death Whispers is a supernatural highschool book for YA.
314 series. I can't even describe, its so trippy and just gah. I wouldn't recommend it if you hate having to read pages over again to understand what just happened.
We broke up a little over a year ago. Actually, it was a pretty toxic relationship.

We broke up a little over a year ago. useless details below about the relationship. slightly depressing.
But I learned so many valuable lessons from that mess-up, so it's a win-win. Jesus, that's rough. I'm sorry you had to go through all that :/ I had a sort-of-similar experience, but not to the extent of yours. Mine ended ~8 months ago (lasted for about a year) and yeah pretty much his biggest issue was my mum. Thankfully I avoided a lot of the damage he could have caused, but it was still terrifying cause his life is so different to mine and he's just like 'tell your mum to [f] off, it's fine'. He started the relationship by saying 'go out with me or we can't be friends anymore' and ended it with 'go on this cruise with me or I'm breaking up with you'. I yielded that first time and several times during the relationship, and I even found myself practically begging for even fwb because I thought something was better than nothing and also, like you, I was totally into him he told me it was basically over on Christmas Eve and then we dragged it out cause I'm weak anyway I hate that I acted that way and I neglected all my friends and forgot my strength and lost myself a bit and yeah fun times, still like 7% not over it yet although when it was good it was super good unfortunately but yeah I learnt a lot about myself and about relationships from that experience (my first proper long-term boyfriend) so I guess it was semi worthwhile in the end [edit: I edited the quote to take out the spoiler]

I'm surprissed you caught that fast enough to see it before my edit. I felt like it was too depressing and I try not to tell people details, because of self confidence issues
He was also my first long term relationship. We were together for two years. I'm really sorry you had to go through that. Atleast we got lessons from it c:
On a brighter note he doesn't mind me using his netflix I'm really jealous of your signature. It's beautiful <3

I understand. If you ever want to talk about it or just need someone to talk to generally, don't hesitate to PM me <3
Yeah, definitely. Although I think I still lost a part of me and I think some of his cynicism / social awkwardness rubbed off on me, but that's all okay for him since he overcomes that by just drinking too much (always a good solution)
Score! He never gave me his netflix and I asked him at what point do we share and laugh at each others passwords and he's like... uh never. and I'm like well what if we start living together? and then that spawned a conversation that basically he would never trust me with his bank account details because the risk is too high for no logical payoff. because later down the line I might "scam" him. yep thanks for making me feel so trusted and loved
anyway thank you!! I can make one for you if you like! although your sprites are super cute, I especially like the one on the far right, I can't stop watching it every time I see one of your posts

Thank you <3 The same goes for you c: Man, I'm really sorry about that. I'm naturally socially awkward social anxiety disorder I force myself to interact with people intill I'm comfortable, and being a mod, I have to be sociable with tough skin so it's harder than I thought it would it be, I can't tell you how many negative comments we've received for enforcing the rules :c but they'll get over it hopefully
Wow, thats really rude of him? I mean he could just say that he was uncomfortable sharing his password, me and him jumped on the sharing things from the start. He had access to my phone w/out supervision, he liked to supervise me on his phone, but he had a flirty relationship w/ someone in Canada, and he said I might "take it the wrong way" lol okay?? shouldn't be doing that anyway He has my amazon stuff, he wanted to use my prime for his netflix. I doubt he remembers my pw it's pretty hard
Wow, that would be amazing, but I don't want to be imposing! It's my favorite too c: I had two more running sprites, but I had to credit everyone in my sig and avatar before I changed so they had to be sacrificed lol

I can understand that. You probably haven't tried some really good ones! Twilight is just crap, Hunger Games is so-so, but if you like something more interesting, try looking for Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. Stephen King for serious crime fiction. J.R.R Tolkien for fantasy. Dean Koontz, for thriller/mystery. John Steinbeck for general awesomeness. Christopher Paolini for fantasy.
I think I'm reading about five books. Currently: Arena by Karen Hancock; Magnus Chase #1 by Rick Riordan; Bramblestar's Storm; Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind; An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir.

Ok, I read everything that you guys were saying.
First, I've never been in a relationship, so there's no way I can relate. That being said, my mom has been in enough toxic relationships to last me a lifetime. It's not worth it to involve yourself with that guy anymore. I recommend cutting him out of your life asap, but I can't tell you what o do or how to feel about whatever precarious relationship you guys have.
Second, I have social anxiety, so I know how it is to freeze up and want to cry at a simple hello. I'm better now thanks to being in SADD Club, which is a national organization if you haven't heard of it. I was forced into making presentations and speaking in front of people. It really helped me get out of my shell. I still get anxious, though

We don't talk anymore, luckily c: but I lost all my friends because of that relationship. I've had enough toxic relations to not want to date, but I'm really big about forgivness, I can't help it. It's my weakness. I always tell myself if I can forgive my biological mom (currently in jail) then I can forgive anyone, but its hard for me. I still hold grudges and I try to be a better person. But, Idk?
I can't do the simplest things in public. I can't shake peoples hands, I can't look them in the eye, I can barely make small talk with strangers, hell I can't even go to walmart by myself unless I go to self checkout, normal things that don't bug me, bug the heck out of me. I've heard of SADD, i think. Here it stands for "Students Against Destructive Decisions." but after the teacher who ran it quit, it fell off the map. I use the forums to overcome my Social Anxiety. I've written so many post and decided, maybe I shouldn't post this. I also have Depression. I've had it since I can remember, so I understand.

Yesss, the inheritance cycle <3 I've already skipped college once and while I have 5 months to get my act together, I don't really want to go to college yet. I mean I get free college till I'm 25 in my state, and if I go to college before 25, then I get free college for the rest of my life, and I feel like I don't deserve that b/c so many people would rip an arm off for that and I'm sitting here not going to college.

I'm sorry. That just flat out sucks. I know how it is to struggle with forgiveness, especially towards a parent. It's rough. You love em, you hate em, you wanna forgive but don't. It's really hard, but ultimately you decide your actions and how you feel. No one else can decide that.
Yeah, I used to be that way just a few years ago. It's literally crippling. I still get that way, and I try so hard not to. That's SADD~ :3 I apparently had Depression myself, but I can't really remember. I blocked a lot of memories. The forums actually helped me through that fog. I also go on Youtube and rant, which helps me with anger and stress XD I used to have anger management issues, but I'm a lot better now.

I forgave her a long time ago, I've never met her tbh. All I have are photos. She missed parole three times, so I guess she's not doing better. I just recently found where she's incarcerated. I binge watch netflix to help me. its good you were able to find coping mechs. I have something called dysthymia doubled with clinical depression, aka "double depression" I used to take meds, but the guys I was with -that was mentioned above but you didn't get to read the spoiler I put which later editted out and somehow Clo caught it- convinced me to get off my meds and drop therapy.
