While the majority of the family helps around the property, Cato finds himself on the sidelines. Despite being relativity healthy as a toddler, it seems his weak immune systems rears it's head after aging up.

There are certain days when a sickness renders him close to immobile and he'll have to spend his day in bed. Those are the bad days when Cato will try to stop the tears that threaten to escape. His mother will try to comfort him but it still sucks for Cato.

But the worse day are when Cato is healthy enough to walk around and observe the life around him. He'll look outside and see his siblings playing around, enjoying their freedom but he's unable to join. The suffocating feeling dragging him down, it's not fair. Why only him? Why was he the one that got sick so often, why was it his face with the mark that made him even more of an outsider.

The only time Cato can escape the feelings that threaten to drown him is when he's writing. Putting pencil to paper is when he truly feels free, for a moment he almost has a semblance of normalcy. But it's only for a moment before reality pulls him back.

I loathe the Goodreads challenge. It literally only exists to trick people into buying more books from Amazon -- the company that owns Goodreads FYI. It's framed as a competition -- a challenge -- to make it seem fun. So that people can brag and feel a false sense of superiority cause they read 212 picture books to Lil Timmy. And this helps to ensure a class divide between jackasses who make unfunny jokes about putting themselves in debt to be able to afford books and people who are too poor to be able to buy books and must rely on the library instead.

Life is not a competition and reading shouldn't be either.

Hello! This is Ms. @adm-starblitzsteel-4305 ! The 6th chapter of Princess of the Monsters will be posted tomorrow!

Don't worry, I only have a few more stories to come! 😊

However...

↓_*✴*_↓

Why did I wrote this Godzilla fanfic?

It always inspired me about my life. Sometimes life gets hard on your way. For example, as I graduated my senior high school to college/university, I always thought that everything will goes smoothly; until I realized that this sudden changes took almost my wildest inspirations to obstacles. My dream career was to be a science educator, I passed the results and all.

And I am trying to find the RIGHT BALANCE of MYSELF.

I ALWAYS PRAYED TO GOD TO HELP MY LIFE AND STRIVE TO BE A BETTER PERSON.

There are times that I got myself feeling frustrated and almost got a heated argument with my parents, who are expecting me about what's best for me and the career because their first option was I should be a nurse or an architecture, but I refused, because I do not wish myself to separate my parents to go abroad and find a suitable job since I am afraid of going alone myself. My only option was to be an educator because I love teaching students and motivating themselves to always have hope for their future. I love teaching in secondary schools (high school rather, hopefully I can finish my 4-year level course).

With all those negative auras, I managed to find my true self as I navigated through real-life exposures and positivity, I am able to recover my introvert type to extrovert, though I have my sensitivity of being an introvert because I don't want myself to be hurt again by some nasty things and always avoided it at all cost.

As for the fanfiction I wrote; being a HUGE GODZILLA FAN means getting involved in numerous life. I am extremely tied to Mothzilla stuff and it helps ignited my pure imagination. For years, I created OCs from my childhood until my new adulthood.

The Princess of the Monsters fanfiction is a freshly written story, especially when it comes to family and acceptance, even giving a chance to live amongst their lives and start over a new life. But be warned, for this story will impact over myself or even yourself as I wrote it in order to ease my tensions of something that I truly neglected for

For the two OCs: Mothra Astra and Ma. Celestina...

Mothra Astra is my Mothzilla fanchild and Godzilla's and Mothra's ONLY DAUGHTER before Mothra conceives Leo after their daughter's death. She is another example of my childhood as I described: pure, innocent, full of wonders and joy, being helpful to others and always bring positivity to those around. Her two roles: being the future Queen of the Monsters and Guardian Angel of Stars will help herself navigate through the challenges as an heir to the throne.

Ma. Celestina, however, is a human girl who brought her inquisitive talents (singing, painting, dancing) to spread more love and care and to reminded of whom she is trying to search her long-time discovery after realizing she has wield a Cosmic Power that is equally more powerful yet dangerous when it is not fully trained to master every magic. Her answers lies beneath the tapestry as she travelled across different dimensions before she finally settled in to the MonsterVerse, as a Princess despite her title was already granted on her early childhood.

This story ignited my discovery as I finished writing and feeling myself normal again, I am able to balance my career and hobbies and neither I skipped every last ounce of my skills. Adulthood is something you should normally experienced for especially when you reached that, you will realized that your life - unlike in your childhood to teens - will certainly be tested.

Why I share this to you?

Well, this not a rant, but a lesson that I would never do that in my past again.

Looking at the bright side will help me take a step to my future.

That's all.

The Unseen Costs of Adulthood

Adulthood is often romanticized as a time of freedom and fulfillment, where dreams become reality and success is within reach. However, beneath this alluring surface lies a harsher truth, one that few of us are fully prepared for.

When I embarked on this adult journey, leaving behind the comfort of friends and family to study and work in a different country, the initial thrill was undeniable. The idea of new experiences and new friends was intoxicating. But as time passed, the reality of adulthood started to set in, revealing a side that is often glossed over.

Friendships in a new land often turn out to be mere conveniences. The deep, organic connections I had hoped for are hard to come by. Instead, relationships here are frequently based on shared survival rather than genuine affection. People are engrossed in their own routines, and the kind of supportive, caring friends who would rush to your side when you're sick are absent. It feels like everyone is just a version of you—seeking companionship to get through the monotony of a foreign country.

Family, too, becomes a distant memory. The comfort of home—where meals are prepared for you and there’s always someone to encourage you—is replaced with a solitary struggle. Coming home after a long day to a messy house and unwashed dishes is a jarring reality. Exhaustion often leads to choosing sleep over nourishment, and it’s a hard adjustment to make. There’s no one here to empathize with these struggles because, ultimately, this was a choice I made.

The challenges extend beyond personal comfort. At work, facing partiality and unfair treatment feels like a silent battle you can’t always fight. Confronting misbehavior or racism is fraught with risk, as the fear of losing your job or facing deportation looms large. It’s a constant balancing act, navigating a world where you’re a guest in someone else’s country.

Looking back, I wish someone had been honest about the less glamorous side of adulthood. We were often told to cherish our school days and the comfort of home, but we didn’t fully grasp how much we would miss these simple aspects of life. The classmates we once took for granted and the friends we argued with become the ones we long to reconnect with.

This is my story, but it’s likely that many share similar experiences. Adulthood is a complex journey filled with sacrifices and adjustments. While the rewards can be significant, so too are the costs. Acknowledging these realities is an important part of navigating this challenging phase of life.

Just One More Page Challenge Day 29: Freebie

For this freebie I thought I would post my most recent read, Adulthood Rites by Octavia Butler.

Earlier this year I read Dawn and absolutely loved it, so I went into this with high expectations that were absolutely met! Such an incredible book by an inimitable writer gone far too soon. I rated it 5 stars.

The phrase "Surviving Bad Days" conveys a message of strength and perseverance, suggesting that even during difficult times, there's a determination to push through.

Not every day may be perfect, but there are moments of brilliance and power that can emerge from challenging situations.

This design encourages a sense of hope and optimism even in the face of adversity
