flirty… why are you as a man looking at another man like that?

I am not a fish: Introduction

"Looking at their work I would be expecting 8s or 9s"

My biology teacher said that when I was in year nine. It was not the first time someone had said something to that effect, and it was not the last.

The fact of the matter is that I spent most of my time, up until year 11, being told how far I would go, how high my grades were expected to be and how I could do anything that I wanted. People have said that, I just about nudged into the gifted category(though that is a nuanced discussion for another time), not like some of my friends who passed everything with their eyes closed, I definitely had to work, but I was honestly doing well.

My first set of mock GCSEs in year eleven came back and I was broken. Not one of my grades was above a six. This continued through year 11, I was not living up to the expectations that were set. This all came to a head on results day when I discovered that I had only just scraped a 6 which was not enough to do maths A-level, and without maths, I couldn't do physics. This was an issue. I want to be an astrophysicist, however, I have always been in a complex "situationship" with maths, and honestly, I think we might need couple's counselling, but I'm stretching this metaphor too far so suffice to say, I was not too proud of my performance.

So here I am, the day before my first day of college and getting set to do Biology, Environmental science, and Geology. And I will be the first to admit, I am still bitter, I am still upset, I am not over it, but if I could do all the subjects I wanted too, they would be next on my list after physics and maths. The idea is that I will retake my maths GCSE and then go back after college to do physics and maths, so really, in essence I am just taking the scenic route, and maybe, I will end up somewhere wonderful that I could never have dreamed of.

take it easy and good luck to everyone starting this new year

Six Years

Six years later

The sunrise glows through my glass painted windows

Six years later

I drive in my car with my windows

down as the wind is kissing my cheeks

Six years later

I’m singing the songs that reminds me

of my heart breaks

Six years later

I’m writing poetry about the ones who

left their imprints on my heart

Six year later

I’m alive

and sharing nothing but

love

with the world-

even though the darkness

was my

closest

friend

A gift for @tohruies !!

"The perfect winter day."

Word count: 400

Not proofread ! (Also, I haven't gotten alhaitham's character down fully. Bear with me 🤧)

The air was chilly as snow fell in soft clumps, collecting in the pairs' hair as they walked down the streets covered in a thin layer of white.

Alhaitham carried a few bags in one hand, different designer brands from the mall. He'd only have the best for the one he loved most. In his other hand was coco's, tucked into his jacket pocket to keep her hand warm while he tossed a short glance every once in a while to make sure she kept her other hand tucked in her own pocket.

The silence between them was comfortable, laid over the area like a warm blanket in the cold air. It wasn't long before alhaitham was pulling the door open for coco to step inside, following after her. As she took her shoes off, he gently placed his hand over her shoulder, making sure she won't fall before slipping his own off.

After putting away the new items they bought together, he made sure the heat was on before joining her in the kitchen, a nice warm drink already being poured into two mugs. He smiled softly, resting his hands on her hips as he pressed himself close, giving a soft kiss to the back of her head.

"I made you some hot chocolate." She turned her head to look up at him, a soft smile to match his pulling at her lips. "..thank you."

The two made their way to the loveseat near the tv, alhaitham sitting down and pulling her onto his lap as he gently took the hot mug from her hand to set it beside his on the end table. "What was that movie you wanted to watch last week?" His voice was gentle beside her ear, hus breath warm against her skin.

"Oh!" Coco grinned and reached for the remote, leaning back against her lover as she set the movie up, yet his gaze did not stray from her lovely face. "Ready?" She turned her head to meet his gaze and held back a small laugh at the expression on his face. Absolutely lovesick.

She leaned in to press a quick kiss to his lips and directed him to watch the tv, starting the movie.

He couldn't help the way his eyes drifted back to coco every once in a while, admiring her beauty before he forced his gaze back to the screen.

I opened Pinterest for the first time in months.

That made me realize a lot about how bad I was actually doing and how much of a Waffle House Index use of Pinterest is for adult me, apparently.

I hadn’t realized it had grown that foundational to me in a healthy-brain-exercise-and-hobby-joy way. Nice to know moving forward! It’s another sign I can keep track of and use to spot correlation/indicator patterns earlier my behavior.

I love this kind of thing, it makes me so excited!
