When you see everyone around you falling in love but you are the epitome of teh senseless desire to be wanted and to be loved so ardently but you've never been in love and nobody has ever been in love with you, it Hurts. It hurts so bad that you start to doubt your whole existence. You think you are a failure in this world. Some billion people in the world and you are incompatible to make one of them fall in love with you. It seems like you've lost everything in life because you don't have the warm embrace during the winter nights and the solace during the rainy days. It hurts so much that you feel like giving up on life . Because you picture your life and you see no romantic relationship whatsoever even in the future. You start to question your existence and it hurts.
The only way I can have you is through my poetry. These words are what I find my comfort in.
Me at every minor inconvenience:
I want to send you letters darling. But I can't. I want to shower you with my affection but I can't. I want to kiss away all your worries but I can't.
While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas:
Sprained Ankle
A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.
Rib Contusion
A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.
Concussion
This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.
Fractured Finger
A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.
Road Rash
The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.
Shoulder Dislocation
This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.
Deep Laceration
A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.
Burns
Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.
Pulled Muscle
This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.
Tendonitis
Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

oh to be loved, to be adored, to be obsessed over, to be noticed, to be heard, to be touched, to be desired
The earthy smell of rain is one of the most divine scents I’ve ever beheld.
You look ill. You must be suffering from a lack of vitamin ME.
GREEN WITH ENVY
And today I repent my loss
I wail, thinking about the future scenarios
What will I do when I see him with his lover?
The same old thing.
I'll be green with envy
Imagine myself in her place
Think about all the things she has which I don't posses
All things which made him choose her instead of me
I'll downgrade myself
Let go of the last string of the self esteem keeping me intact
And commit the crime of comparing myself with her
Whenever I'll see him, I'll see her in him
Whenever I'll see her, I'll see myself in her
Even if I move on
I'll still shed tears over something which could have been possible
Once again I'll bleed silently over the thoughts of mere possibility.
Anyone wanna... ya know 👀

Go book shopping, then have a picnic in the park and read our new books under a nice shady tree?
And I wondered what it was like to be chosen. I was never chosen. I was a maybe, a probably, sometimes even a definitely but never the one, never the chosen one.
