This image illustrates a sequence that represents the progression of a romantic relationship leading to a marriage proposal, along with the text "Become His Secret Obsession."
1. **Holding Hands**: The first panel shows a couple walking hand in hand, symbolizing the early stages of a relationship where a bond is formed.
2. **Kissing**: The second panel depicts the couple sharing a kiss, indicating a deepening of the emotional and physical connection.
3. **Marriage Proposal**: The third panel shows the man on one knee, proposing with a ring, while the woman is visibly emotional, symbolizing a commitment or engagement.
The phrase "Become His Secret Obsession" suggests that the images are meant to convey how a woman can captivate and secure a deep emotional connection with her partner, eventually leading to a marriage proposal. The overall motive of the picture seems to be about guiding or influencing women on how to strengthen their romantic relationships to achieve commitment.

Publishing a novel!
Hey guys! So. I'm on the road to publishing my debut novel, titled The Gifted, which takes place in post-apocalyptic Mexico and follows three bisexual slave soldiers who get caught in the middle of a conflict between the army they serve and a militia whose objective is to emancipate them. They stumble upon a terrible weapon while fleeing to safety which, if unleashed, could mean the end of what survived of humanity. Now, chased by absolutely everyone, they must make up their minds about whether they want to serve justice, revenge, or neither.
I've been querying for an agent for half a year, but with the state of the entertainment industry as it is in this, the sag-afra strike era, I am keeping my options open by looking into self-publishing because let's be honest the publishing industry ain't that far off.
I'm currently doing some market research and it would mean the world to me if you could help me out by answering this poll and/or sharing it with other likeminded readers.
Also. I am holding a focus group with about 10 volunteer readers in December so I would be super excited to hear from you (in the poll or via DM) if you'd like to take part. I sadly cannot pay the readers because I am hella broke haha but I'll try my best to get some sort of gift card or something, as a symbolic thank you.
Tropes are:
found family
a real love triangle is when everybody holds hands and kisses on the mouth
dystopia but not told by white people
climate change core
the future may be dire but at least it's gay af
enemies to rivals to allies to friends to lovers
can we stop colonizing Latin America for like 3 seconds?
bastard meow meow meets sadboy babygirl meets angry dumbass
The Hunger Games, Iron Widow, and Mad Max had a lovechild.
so yea ��😬
also, here is Them™

Let that shit go!!!!
Episode #8924
Now that I've had the chance to read this book, I highly recommend that anyone and everyone take the time to read a self-help book.
After reading a book that makes me feel good inside, I always feel that we tend to overanalyze what we actually feel, so here I am to tell you my take.
This book was quite eye-opening, as of the aftermath of reading I now can notice right away when my mind will wander or not be focused as much as it could be.
I do have ADHD but it's liveable now I have been taught how to observe my chatty mind, my thoughts, what matters, and the bullshit we can just throw away.
This year has led me to beautiful reads, and beautiful relationships with my friends, significant other, and so much more, and being present with them is what it helps teach me.
I was taking a ride with my boyfriend and he was like are you good, I didn't tell him but I was fixated on the fact that I saw a girl message him because I needed to soothe myself.
He has friends that have girls and I have friends that are guys. I just think about how lucky they are to be friends with us. I know that he loves me but sometimes I have to remind myself that this thought of jealousy needs to blow over, I feel it and then I let that shit go.
My boyfriend loves me and then I get myself to a happy place, I know that it can be difficult, especially with the type of social media we are consuming daily of.
But it needs to be a good little breather to get away from your person and have a life beyond them.
Just like friends, recently one of my good friends was being very negative. I've read those people who are continuously negative/sad around you can drain your energy.
I would spend hours just listening to them rant, and I thought it was helping them but in reality, it wasn't. Studies show that ruminating with negative feelings for a long time is bad for your health and bad for your attraction to friends.
I understand that it can be difficult sometimes to go through things and who better than your friends to lean on when things get hard. I think the problem was, is that sometimes we have a hard time telling our friends that their problems are too much for their mental capacity. In that instance, I always ask before I dump a load of feelings I have to my friends. But, this friend is sad all the time, and it's not because of me but I can't help them.
I am not a licensed therapist yet.
The problem is that I had a conversation with them over the phone about it because I said that money is the problem as well and then they tried to get me another job. I thought about it, and I felt bad because it wasn't my intention to make it about that.
(that friend and i are still close)
I actually just don't like my energy being drained by sadness when I tend to always be happy. I just don't have the energy to be sad, there is too much to be grateful, happy for, and blessed in every chance of my life I have.
I can't transfer that to someone else, if they don't want to be happy, or don't actively do things that make them happy I can't put that burden on myself. It's good to be there for your friends but not to the point where it makes you feel like you are negative and sad all the time too.
Back to the book, anyway what I am really getting at is that you, yes YOU are the only person who can change yourself, and get you to where you want to be.
My favorite thing about this book explains how you need to take care of yourself, you are the most important and if you've been a people pleaser so much of your life, you need to unlearn this because you deserve a life where you are taken care of by the ones you call friends and family too.
Take care of your needs and let them be known, life is too short not to care for the most important person in your life, YOU.
I felt relieved reading this book because it made me understand that all I've been doing or striving to do is okay, and failing is a part of life so embrace it, and sometimes you need to embrace people for who they are, let it go. Do things that make you happy, understand your people, and love them unconditionally.
Thank you for reading this far, if you have and I send you lots of love and happiness this week, this day, this year, this month, and forevermore.
Mahal Kita,
Amanda
