SOOO the Drama: Making it Work with Tragic Backstories

Hi everyone, how are we doing? It’s been a while since my last unsolicited tutorial. Is everyone eating well? Is everyone drinking water? Dressing warmly if it’s cold wherever you live? 

Today we’ll be talking about tragic backstories, and how to use them rather than abuse them. 

This tutorial will mention a number of triggers, though not with great detail - more in the interest of providing context. 

Specific triggers mentioned: abandonment, verbal abuse, child neglect, car accident, transphobia, animal death, cheating, bullying, parental death

In the rp community we often joke about loving to put our characters through hell - about really running them ragged - making ourselves weepy. For a lot of us, writing Heavy Emotional Content is a lot more fun than fluff, or characters who are happy, fulfilled, and well-adjusted. I’m literally planning to kill off one of my characters in the next couple of weeks. I get it. 

But there’s also a fair amount of discourse in the rp community about what is pejoratively called “trauma porn.” It’s discourse that is warranted! Because while we love fictional drama, the truth is that sometimes...

well, sometimes it can be too much, can’t it? 

Here’s the thing about trauma: a tragic backstory does not a well-developed character make. Too often, too many of us lean on these traumatic histories as a crutch towards building a character, without meaningfully exploring that trauma with any depth. The truth is, in fiction, tragedy only builds character when when you do. And tragedy is far from the only way to create a nuanced character. 

In this tutorial, we will examine common approaches to character backstories, alternatives to tragedy-as-a-default, and figure out how to have your cake (the feels) and eat it too (with purpose.)

BUILD-A-BACKSTORY

In my experience, the most common approach to writing a freestyle application is writing a chronological history (you can read my app guides, including thots on alternative styles of freestyle, here). Ain’t nothing wrong with that! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! 

It’s an approach that makes sense, as it forces you to fill in the blanks to answer the question: why is my character Like That? And often, as writers, our first instinct is to provide the saddest answer possible.

“Why is Susie so clingy?” 

Her parents abandoned her at a fire station when she was an infant, and rather than being raised in foster care, she grew up at the fire station. But the entire company that raised her died while fighting a wildfire, and she is certain that any time anyone walks away from her, they will never come back. 

“Why is Brent such a misogynist?” 

His mother never wanted him and told him so every day of his youth. When he hit puberty, she stopped speaking to him entirely, and the day he turned eighteen, she changed the locks while he was at school. 

“Why is Lichen such a high-achieving go-getter?” 

Lichen was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning they break their legs, and every afternoon they break their arms. At night, they lie awake in agony until their heart attacks put them to sleep.

Feels like a lot, doesn’t it? I may have done a little exaggeration, but - not a lot, frankly. 

Especially if other characters on a site are loaded with tragic histories, it can be hard not to equate a certificate from the school of hard knocks with a Pulitzer. You want something juicy to write about, yes? And this is all so juicy! 

But here’s the rub: often, these histories will never come up again outside of an application, or will not be practically dev’d out beyond shock value. Susie will never be reminded of Frank, the fireman who taught her to ride a bike. Brent will focus his sexist comments on objectifying women’s bodies rather than degrading their personalities and motives, which were the issues with his mother. Someone who didn’t read Lichen’s app would have no clue that they have had a total horror show of a life. 

If you are writing a tragic backstory that doesn’t have a continual impact on your character, you are writing trauma porn, and it is doing nothing for your character. 

This doesn’t mean that your characters should be fully and constantly occupied with memories of their trauma - in fact, constant introspection is an easy way to stall threads (per my “why aren’t people writing with me?” guide here) - but it does mean that if your answer to the question, “why is my character Like That” is a compelling one, it is one that a reader should be able to answer even if they haven’t read your app, if they’ve read a few of your threads or other writing. 

This is a careful balance, of course, but think of your characters the way you think of yourself! For example: probably the most Potentially Dramatic thing about my personal life is that my older sister is developmentally disabled, and I am one of her legal guardians. When my parents die, I will inherit my older sister, and will uproot my life from wherever I am living at the time to move back to my hometown and make sure she is taken care of and happy. This is not something that I constantly think about, but it is difficult to know me for any meaningful length of time and not be aware that I have a developmentally disabled sister, as I mention her in passing, think about her when her favorite music comes up on Spotify, and tell people to donate to her favorite charity, Special Olympics. 

If I were writing an app of myself as a character and spent a good portion of the app untangling my relationship with my sister, and then never mentioned her in any of my thread posts, then is she really important to my character? Or was I flexing her for depth?

Do you see what I am getting at here? If it matters, it will come up more than once. If it only comes up once, and it’s in your app, you should think of something to explain your character’s personality and motivations that is perhas a little less loaded. 

BUT WITHOUT THE SADS, HOW DO?

The good news is: you absolutely do not need a tragic backstory to write a nuanced character! Again - think of your characters the way you think of yourself, or of other real people. While everyone has gone through heavy things in their lives from time to time, chances are that your life does not resemble that of a soap opera protagonist. And aren’t you a multifaceted person, full of depth and life? Aren’t you someone whose story is worth telling, even if it feels like your life is pretty ordinary? 

After all, it’s not the past that makes a character - it’s the present, their current voice, actions, and missteps. That is where you want the real juice to be, because that is the shit you’re writing! 

Some potential “everyday histories” for our above cast of characters:

“Why is Susie so clingy?”

In elementary and middle school, Susie was bullied on and off - a few weeks spent hanging out with the in-crowd, followed by a month as a social pariah. She could never understand why. When she moved to a different state for high school, she attached herself like a barnacle to the clique the Tulips, and has made it her goal not to let herself get shaken back to the outskirts this time. 

This isn’t as dramatic as Susie’s earlier backstory - in fact, it could apply to any number of people, being passed between friend groups for years on end. But again: your character doesn’t need a one-of-a-kind daytime talk show-worthy backstory to have a unique and compelling history and voice! 

“Why is Brent such a misogynist?”

Brent’s mother never wanted children, and made it pretty clear to him throughout his youth. His father, though, as always there for him - including when his mother walked out and never came back, after cheating on Mr. Brent’s Dad for years. From then on, Brent and his dad only had each other - and their bitterness towards the woman who wronged them.

This still gives you some family drama - unloving mother, and some adultery - but having Brent be raised by someone who has their own beef with women eliminates the shock value of locking your son out merely for being a boy. Also, this take acknowledges misogyny as a learned behavior.

“Why is Lichen such a high-achieving go-getter?”

When their parents divorced, Lichen only came out to their mother as nonbinary, and presents a fully different persona when they are with their father. Being in the top 5% of their high school class and being a national champion Lincoln-Douglas debater is the only thing Lichen and (deadname) have in common. 

I acknowledge that Lichen’s previous story was a meme. The above story could be made much more intense (for example, if Lichen’s father were a member of the Westboro Baptist Church and then Lichen’s supportive mother dies in a freak accident and Lichen, unable to hide their true identity, is imprisoned in their father’s basement until they pretend to have seen the error of their ways and identify as cis again) but the above gives plenty to chew on! 

While drama and trauma can be satisfying to write, there is plenty of drama to be found in the everyday. Building a well-rounded character is much less about what happened to them and much more about what they are doing, thinking, and feeling now. 

That said, 

TIPS & TRICKS FOR WRITING TRAGIQUE CHARACTERS

Don’t go overboard. If it is not going to come up ever again after the app: leave it out. 

Impact is about the character, not the reader. If it was important enough to leave in the app, it should have an identifiable impact on your character. The main purpose cannot have been to shock the reader. 

It’s not meaningful JUST because it happened. If someone can follow your character’s story for any extended amount of time and not realize that, say, your character’s mother died in a boating accident, then it isn’t actually important that your character’s mother died in a boating accident, and you should let her live. 

If ALL of your characters have a heavily dramatic backstory, ALL of your heavily dramatic backstories lose their meaning. Dramatic backstories are fun but they should not be a constant: they will begin to feel cheap and lazy. 

Your character does not need to dwell on their tragic backstory! While a character should acknowledge their history, a character does not need to realize that their backstory is meant to be tragic. For example, Sally might have been raised by her Aunt Agatha after her parents disappeared in a hot air balloon when she was a baby. Rather than being sad about her missing parents, Sally might think of them as total strangers and of Agatha as her sole parental figure - and her sadness might be for Agatha, who does miss Mr. and Ms. Pumpernickel. 

And that’s literally all she wrote! I hope you find this helpful when you’re writing your characters - tragic or otherwise - and developing their plotlines. The world is not made of trauma and fluff alone, friends. Go forth and contain multitudes!

✈️?

Things mentioned in this drabble are direct references to @strickjagger​ and stuff from last April which is a horrifying amount of time ago.

✈ - An eye-opening memory

Yesterday had been surprisingly exciting in ways that didn’t involve anybody suffering bodily harm which was rather refreshing given the events of previous months, after all who could say no to kicking a door in and giving your former superior a heart attack without a single sword being drawn? She certainly would not and it felt like a just reward earned after everything particularly with the shriek, oh now that is something she will be treasuring for a very long time like a party trick waiting for it’s prime moment to be brought out. With part one of her self-declared mission now completed, the next step was dragging his sorry ass back to Arcadia where he can do something more useful than moping around for weeks on end poking around Facebook for his lost lady love akin to a widow and dumped teenager rolled into one wretched mess of depression. The display was utterly revolting and truly she was doing both him and the world at large a grand favour here by intervening.

At first there were a few delays before anything could get moving partly because she decided before anything was settled on he had to go get himself scrubbed up and free of his stubbly wares while she would abuse the opportunity to enjoy the quaint scenery with a spot of tea in peace. A standard had been set after all having made sure to freshen up a bit with proper food, a shower, clean clothes and enough make up to hide the wretched state that was her condition underneath so quite frankly he should have the basic decency to do the same before setting foot outside. Of course there was a bit of enjoyment at bossing him around like this and with being unlikely to get an opportunity she would never get again, well why not? The next hold up was the particulars of transportation which needed to both balance getting there the fastest while remaining lighter on the wallet thanks to limited funds. These are narrowed down to a road trip causing dramatic groan at the idea of having to spend hours in his company while in close confines for an extended period just to make very clear her dislike at the idea. After that all that was left to do was getting hold of a suitable car that could be conveniently ditched afterwards without giving any wrong ideas to any who found it. She only got more annoyed when her suggestion of hotwiring something was shot down and ceremoniously flipped him off out of petty spite.

With supplies belatedly gathered, coffee to go, something to drive that was a disgusting aqua coloured thing and through flagrant complaining about her (Formerly) broken fetlock they came to a deal that he would take the day shifts and her the nights. There was some gleeful snarking about his habit of vehicles and cliffs which earned a look over the steering wheel and she merely grinned right back while toasting with the disposable cup. So it went on like that with loose banter fired between about innocent topics, a slightly annotated version of recent events now there was no risk of being heard, some reminiscing of older times interspersed with more than a few choice words for bad driving by other parties. The white lines are not optional you idiotic fleshbags stay in your damn lane!

On day two by midday it featured a rather bored Nomura which a very dangerous prospect because basic decency and social decorum tends to go out the window if she has no way to vent her frustrations and had lost interest in talking for the time. The silence becomes a rather ominous thing for the driver who has acquired a crease in his brow because if she is not resting, certain from how she keeps grumbling something, it means she must be plotting something and it is quickly confirmed when there is the unmistakable feeling of the closest pocket being rummaged in.

“Do you mind?” He utters taking his eye off the road a second to glare.

“Not at all,” is the innocent answer while she sits comfortably back in her seat with her prize swiftly being broken into with a few taps because pin codes mean nothing. Getting an annoyed scoff back, he knows trying to take it back will only make it more tempting to hoard thus he is left only to secretly hope she will only stick to the photos and video collection and not find anything potentially compromising or worse, blackmail material.

For a time at least his passenger in question seems content enough to only poke around at what could fall under the first category from how the expressions vary from smirks to mildly grossed out (Not hard to guess what the cause was there) to an aww and even the sound of pure mocking laughter which was something to be grateful for even if there is little doubt she is sending a few to herself to enjoy later. Sadly, all good things come to an end and always far too soon, the loud humming suggests investigations have begun for anything else that could catch her wavering interest while a finger flickers this way and that. Suspicions are quickly confirmed with the following remark.

“When was the last time you bothered to clear out your damn voicemail?”

“Not recently enough apparently, if you insist on looking please don’t delete anything.”

“A tempting idea but sure, there is a disgusting amount of your precious lady love in here anyway.”

“… Shut up, Nomura.”

She flashes a vicious grin his way without any shame whatsoever then proceeds to hold the phone close to that side of her face after pitching the volume a touch lower for that ironic privacy vibe while checking what tempting things that have been left ready to be found. The dates are as erratic as the time sent with the more mundane often during the day from who she presumes are his former school colleagues, one from her even which comes as a surprise given it is bragging about getting a gift through customs (A sword if she recalls correctly) and a few coded ones she had little interest in deciphering. Then there was a few with the good Doctor that skirted just close enough to flirty they were stopped pretty quickly with a near shriek and another finger shown his direction for the chuckle her undue suffering caused. It was strange how the newer ones still marked with her name simply mentioning coffee? Hm, something to prod about given they’d been left for listening to over and over while being depressive.

Then there was one sitting there right at the top that hadn’t been listened to once that just screamed click me.  

“Awww did you and our favourite German asshole have a little spat?”

“A falling out you could say yes, he tried to throw me to the wolves but as you can tell none of them managed to bite.”

“Shame, probably most excitement you had in ages after we were down a troll tantrum thrower. Alright let’s see what our mystery message is because you’re too chicken shit to find out yourself.”

The final message opens with the sounds of heavy breathing of somebody had been running hard but had to keep going, the bangs and clatters of metal being hit or something large being thrown around. Sometimes the faint echoes of what sounded like screaming muffled by a doorway interrupted by a familiar voice sounding utterly defeated yet comforted by the knowing a last testament will be heard.

“You were right, Stricklander. Does knowing that make you happy? Ah well, it turns out we were as disposable to him as we were to one another it seems no matter our plans or great feats we have overcome for a moment of glory none of it meant a thing in the end. Some of us tried to buy as much time as we could what little it was but I can’t say for sure how many managed to make it out… I won’t but I’ve chosen my grave and I think you’d like it-” There is a pause with the sound of movement, of someone yelling in their own tongue before being cut off mid-sentence by a Reaper carved of stone.

“You were truly one of the best of us, mein freund. If you never believed a single thing I’ve said in our long years together please accept that I… I don’t have very much time left. Ah listen to me of all changelings being sentimental on my very own deathbed! Alas I cannot quite pull the same tricks as you being her favourite while we were the abandoned children of the night. If we truly have souls may we meet in the next life and know you still owe me a good bottle of r----”

The message cuts out into static before petering out into nothingness. Silence overcomes the car.

“Sorry for waking you up and all but would you wanna have a picnic? Like some snacks, I guess?”

It had been maybe 2 hours since you had fallen asleep when Donghyuck calls. His voice makes it clear that he is wide awake at who-knows-what on a weekday. It somewhat worries you, but at the same time, he is always like this. Energetic. At unnecessary times as well. However, it still did kind of annoy you how he fancied the idea of a picnic at— you check your phone— “At 4 in the morning?”

“Why not? I’m craving a lot of stuff and it’d be sad if I went out to get a bunch of snacks just to eat them by myself. You like what I eat, no?” That was true. You both had likings for similar foods in general. Though, he was not the type to have snacks around this time. Especially around this time of the year, if you recall right. Maybe something was wrong with his mood?

His voice sounds just fine, though. So it cannot be that.

You sigh to yourself, defeat settling in, and turn on the light beside your bed. “Fine. Where do we meet?” A hand goes up to rub at your eye, triggering a yawn almost immediately. He takes a while to answer, sounds of shuffling in the background. “The field.” There comes a creak from his side. Possibly a door as it is followed by a loud slam. “It’s open at this hour?”

He chuckles. “It’s always open. The amount of freaks that go out on a jog at 2:30 in the morning.. you wouldn’t believe it.”

You grin knowingly. “For you to say it… Don’t you have to be one of them to know?” Silence.

Then, a dramatic sigh of annoyance. “Shut up. Wear something thick.”

You end up wearing an oversized hoodie over your pajama shirt and some much more presentable sweatpants before washing your face, brushing your teeth and rushing out to not keep him waiting. It is chilly outside, almost cold as the breeze hits your newly washed face. Lights are off for the most part. Silence calming yet bizarre.

There is something about living in a heavily populated area and going out at weird hours. Because as you stroll your way down to the field through the campus, the city outside the campus still as well, it feels like walking through a deserted city. As if the whole city is for you and you only. You could do whatever you want to do.

Some part wants to scream and pierce through the silence, but it is too perfect to ruin. It would be a shame.

The campus is big, but definitely cramped. Very cluttered and populous to the point that it feels small. It is only at times like these and when you are down with some kind of sickness when you realize just how much distance there is between the on-campus apartment complex and the fields. But it feels nice— the clutter. Almost makes it feel homey.

When you are a little more than halfway done with your walking you feel your phone buzz in your pocket. You do not bother checking, because you know it must be Donghyuck texting you to hurry up or whatever. Then you look up.

And it dawns on you why he must have felt the need to go outside instead of hanging out in the dorm lobby.

The sky is incredibly clear— too good to be true in an area with high light pollution. A bunch of stars are visible, more stars than usual for sure. No clouds whatsoever. But also, no Milky Way. Yet it is still better than good enough, because the moon is full and is shining with all its glory and scars, and stars are twinkling in a rhythm what feels like a melody.

You continue to walk mostly with your eyes fixed on the sky, and if anyone asks you it is truly a miracle that you make it to the field without falling. Severely tripping, yes, but not falling.

It almost feels like he is not there when you push the doors and walk into the track circling the diamond because of how quiet it is. But there is a faint amount of light almost in the middle of the giant patch of grass with a body hunched over it, so you make your way over.

He does not get up to greet you. He does not have to. You sit on the grass that is definitely colder than the weather itself and throw your arm around his shoulders to give him a brief hug. He hugs you back, but you know. You know for a fact Donghyuck is annoyed. “Why don’t you look at your phone ever when I text you? I actually asked for something,” He laughs out a huff of annoyance and points a finger at the bag of snacks. “I forgot to get tissues. I’d send you back to go get some but I won’t because I’m a good friend.”

Friend. Funny. A friend who has a crush on you and does not bother to hide it, and a friend whom you have a crush on and do not quite bother to hide it from. Just a couple of crushing friends who will not take action. “It’s fine, we’ll just lick our fingers.” You say as he makes a move to pull out the snacks, interested in what he has brought.

There is a bunch of sweets, with definitely way too much sugar at this hour. Considering Donghyuck is already energetic and seemingly not sleepy, the oncoming sugar rush that awaits both of you is scary.

He breaks a chocolate bar in half. You cannot help the question that blurts itself out. “Isn’t season starting soon? Don’t you have to not be eating these?”

The half chocolate bar gets pushed onto your lips, as if to tell you to shut up, please. “Yeah. If coach doesn’t know it’s fine.”

You give him the look. He gives in under the pressure. “I’ve been eating lots of carbs and proteins for training season and oh my god, my diet is filled with bland foods. I want to taste something, and I’d much rather prefer it to be sweet.” He takes a bite which is almost all of the half he has in his hand. It makes sense he is frustrated. “I’ll just have to run harder tomorrow— today.” He places his arms on his knees that he has pulled to his chest, his arm clenching a bit. His words struck you harder than they should, and you frown. “One night won’t break your form.”

“I know. I just want to be at my best so I have a chance at getting picked up this season.” With that, he takes the other bite, and his half of the bar is gone. You lean back on your hand and look at him. What he said makes sense, but also does not. “There is no reason you wouldn’t get picked, you know? You’re so good at running, and your aim with the bat is sharp enough.”

Donghyuck leans forward to pull another snack— moon pies, and you laugh. “You sure you’re not stress eating?” He takes a look at you for a split second, hands you the pie even though you are not done eating the bar, and takes one out for himself. “If only you ate what I’ve been eating for the last several weeks, then you’d get me. Plus, my game is top notch when it comes to stress management.”

That brings a mixture of snorting and giggling out of you as you turn to look at his profile. “Sure. As if you weren’t screaming when Jungwoo told you—“

He turns to you in an instance, and the moon pie’s crumbs go everywhere when he speaks. “Not completing the track on time for like more than twenty times after you come back from an injury makes you panic. Rightfully so.” The crumbs stick to your face, even, and it is gross even if he is your crush. “Jesus, okay, ew. And also, of course it’d make you panic, but it was only a whole two seconds longer than your personal best. You did not need to scream that much.”

He shrugs and lets himself fall onto the field. It is then that you realize he is only in a t-shirt and a sad excuse of a cardigan. Which is very hypocritical of him if you do say so yourself. “It’s just… Baseball is what I do, you know? It keeps me on a scholarship, I’m actually somewhat good at it which is great because I for certain suck at my degree, and it’s what I want to do for the rest of my life. So it’s important for me to get picked up this season. Of course it’s okay if I don’t, because I’ll have the chance for another 2 years unlike Jungwoo, but the earlier the better.” The level of frustration grows with each sentence, and he keeps doing these hand gestures that cause his hands to flail around a little.

You also let yourself fall when he stops, but forwards on your stomach instead of backwards on your back. Your face is above Donghyuck’s as you lean your head on your propped up hands. “You wanna drop out once you get picked up?” It would make sense, really. He was not the one to keep good attention on his academics. Not because he does not want to, but because he just cannot do it.

He clicks his tongue and meets your eyes. When he speaks up, his voice is quieter. “Not really. If I get injured again it’s probably over for me, so,” The breath he exhales hits your face. “Gotta have a plan B.”

Both of you sit in the quiet breeze for a bit after that. Still snacking on a variety of his favorite snacks, you try to bicker with him. But instead, he asks you how school is going for you. You tell him the quizzes and the assignments and the group projects, and how nobody shows up for the group project meetings, and about your club life which is equally as exciting for you as baseball is for him, but the pace is definitely much more different.  

“Are you even aware of the sky tonight? Look at all the stars— the moon, too.” You do it to direct the conversation anywhere else, because frankly, you both knew you did not want to talk about school at 4-something AM. He does look up, and smiles. “I was here before you came, so of course I’ve seen it.” Deep breath. “Really pretty, like you.”

You cannot even try to contain the smile. The blood rushes to your cheeks and hands. “Stop. I’m dressed in presentable pajamas and I’m every shade of ugly tired.”

“I’m here for it, personally.” He elites up his voice and places his hand on his chest a little before proceeding with his speech. “In my humblest of opinions, the pajama look is far better than the looks of whoever’s dating my upperclassmen.” Then, he goes serious again as you start to laugh at what you suspect to be the beginning of his sugar rush. “No seriously, some of the people they’re dating are actually intimidating. More than coach, even.”

“Oh so I’m not intimidating?” You ask, hand posted at your chest. He laughs slightly, almost uncomfortably. “Uh, no, you’re scary when you get angry.” Lucky for him he understands he is only making matters worse, and you laugh out loud more when he starts rambling. “Of course that’s not to say it’s bad, yours is a cool kind of intimidating. But they are there to support them, and after the games end it’s like they will take them home and punish them even if they’ve done good.”

“Some people are into that kinda stuff though.”

Donghyuck looks at you, genuinely disgusted. “No.”

The sheer horror and disgust on his face finally makes you burst into the sleepy-sugar rush laughter you had been holding back, and he starts laughing his fairly dumb sounding laugh along with you. “I’m not shaming whoever likes it but damn, let them celebrate, I don’t know—“

“The thing is, that’s their way of celebrating.” You manage out, holding your stomach as you laugh still, and even though both your stomach and your lungs were begging you to stop the laughter kept coming on stronger as his face dropped further with confusion. “That’s not what I meant— So what, if people look pissed at their significant others, that might be PDA too? That makes everything so complicated though.”

You are crying. At the dumbness of the conversation, and the 5-year-old energy of what you both find to be funny. He laughs as well, especially when your hands under your head give out and you fall on top of somewhere between his chest and shoulder. It takes a while for both of you to stop and come to your senses, and when you do, he asks you something with a smile audible through the words. “Would you come to my games for good luck?”

Wiping at your eyes, you answer with a shrug. “Maybe. But you need to answer something first.”

“Hm?” Your finger points at the sky within an instant. “What do you prefer, the stars or the moon?” He must be dumbfounded, because he does not answer for some time. “The stars, I guess?”

Faking an overreaction, you also fake your voice to sound harsh. “Wrong! There was a line, and you crossed it. I’m not coming to the games, hope you have fun.” You giggle again, the sugar really hitting you now, and maybe the lack of sleep since the moon has started to shift down a little. Donghyuck looks at you and frowns. “Don’t use that tone with me, or I’ll kiss you.”

The laughter is still not over, and your eyes hurt with the continuous laughter. You did not even know if that was possible. “No you won’t— you never do!”

But then he does.

Chocolate infused into his lips, hovering on top of you, he kisses you on the field. His lips are soft, the kiss not so much, but he is kissing you and oh god it is going on. He actually means to kiss you.

So you place a hand on his neck to just enjoy the feeling and to feel in the moment. Put a bit more of yourself on your part into the kiss as well. He smiles. When he is not smiling, you smile— and you just do that. Take turns smiling, silently celebrating the kiss because finally.

This was a pretty nice way of sobering up.

Like a snake, my heart has shed its skin. I hold it there in my hand, full of honey and wounds.

The trick to loving right Andrew Minyard is, surprisingly enough, expectation.

Andrew has an ego that demands he stay one step ahead of the competition, but that’s for threats. When you’re on the correct side of him, he craves to be anticipated. Andrew makes it embarrassingly easy. After a childhood being overlooked — or worse, noticed for all the wrong reasons — Andrew kind of… crumbles when another person sees him. It’s how Renee secured him as her best friend without a deal. It’s how Matt inducted himself into the Monsters in his senior year.

It’s how Neil is sitting cross-legged on a pretentious marble counter-top, eating crunchy peanut butter from the jar.

Andrew is facing the stove top, his strong back covered by a typical black shirt. Every time he moves Neil can just about taste it. He might as well be shirtless for all the good the useless fabric is doing for his modesty.

Okay. Neil needs to not think about that.

Andrew purposely bangs his spatula against the side of the saucepan, fed-up. “Don’t you have anything better to do?"

The idea of Andrew feeling Neil’s gaze is almost embarrassing, just not enough for Neil to look away. “I don’t have eidetic memory; I need to take the time to memorize you.”

“You did that enough during college.”

“You look different from then,” Neil protests. Andrew is broader, thicker in his arms and stomach and thighs. His hair is longer, the scowl lines around his mouth less pronounced. Neil doesn’t love Andrew any less now than when he regularly pulled knives on their teammates, but he can’t deny a certain fondness for an Andrew who lets himself smile when he texts Bee about Halloween costumes.

Andrew doesn’t deny it. Neil smiles around his spoon. “What are you making?”

“Sandwich.”

“Why are you frying it?”

“Nicer this way.”

He flips the sandwich. Something sizzles. Neil doesn’t think it is oil. The smell is — putrid.

And familiar.

Neil’s stomach turns at the same time he realizes what that smell is. “Fuck. Are you eating that stupid maple syrup and cream cheese toastie garbage?”

Andrew throws him a flat look over his shoulder. “Why do you sound offended. I am not making you eat it.”

The ‘stupid maple syrup and cream cheese toastie garbage’ is a Andrew Minyard special. He puts maple syrup in a pan, brings it to a spitting boil, and fries a cream cheese sandwich in it. The first time he made it, he happened to do so in front of Kevin. Kevin dry-retched so bad he ended up crying. Allison had it on camera.

“Andrew,” Neil starts, incredulous. “There’s no way your nutritionist approved that!”

The blond shrugs. “I’m hungry.”

“Oh my god.”

“Shut up and eat your peanut butter, hypocrite.” He slides the toasted sandwich out of the pan and pulls it apart into skinny, little pieces without waiting for it to cool down. It clearly hurts. Andrew doesn’t stop doing it, because he is as stupid as the people he surrounds himself with.

Neil’s stomach shrivels up and dies when Andrew meets his eyes and takes a pointed bite. He chucks his spoon into the sink and declares: “I’ve lost my appetite.”

Andrew points at him with two fingers, directing him to look at the lounge set-up behind Neil. “That is your problem, Neil. Go into the other room and eat alone if you must.”

“You’re going to have a heart attack.”

“And that would be my problem to deal with. See how this works?”

Andrew eats slowly deliberately these days, mostly to prove he doesn’t have to choke down whatever is put in front of him before it’s taken away. Neil resents the practice for the first time in months. “We’re going grocery shopping when you get back from practice tomorrow,” Neil decides. “You know, I don’t want to be eating peanut butter out of the jar, but your cupboards are bare. How do you live like this?”

Andrew freezes mid-chew. His eyes narrow subtly. To anyone else it would be a warning. Neil recognizes the expression as exasperated.

“Neil,” Andrew starts.

Oh no, thinks Neil.

“You were arrested last month because an officer thought you were homeless and sleeping on a park bench. However bad you think I am, I can guarantee you are exceedingly worse.”

That had happened. Neil was tired after his run, saw a park bench, and decided to rest his eyes. The next time he woke up, a concerned mother was watching him, clinging to her child, hiding behind a police officer who genuinely did try to arrest Neil. Ironically, it was a first for Neil, who’s been homeless plenty of times before and got away with it, but actually wasn’t the one time he was caught.

“At least I have food in my fridge.”

“Take-away,”

“I have other things.”

“An unnecessary amount of fruit.”

“I eat it,” says Neil defensively. Andrew looks at him like Neil admitted to murder. Except not at all, because if that were the case he’d be marginally more turned on. “We’re going, Andrew. It'll be good for us, and I'm not eating peanut butter for the rest of my vacation. Abby would drive over specifically to kick your ass.”

“Ha-ha,” Andrew replies, emotionless. “What would I do with groceries.”

“Cook them. I think.”

“You think.”

“Shut up. This isn’t a discussion. Wal-Mart, tomorrow, get excited about it.”

Andrew, finished with his unholy meal, sets his empty plate in the sink and slinks forward. He puts his hands on Neil’s thighs and lightly traces them down until they catch in the crease of his knees. One quick tug unfolds Neil’s legs, allowing Andrew to slide in close. Andrew tips his head back. His nose barely brushes Neil’s chin.

Neil bites on his bottom lip to smother his smile. 

Here’s the thing. Andrew looks very comfortable having Neil an extra couple inches above him; it’s amusing because he frankly cannot be as happy about the new height difference as he’s pretending. 

He’s angling for something. Neil doesn’t care what: he’ll play along if it keeps Andrew right where he is.

It is nice having the bed to himself, sure, but Neil notices Andrew’s absence like a missing limb. It aches all the time. He gets phantom pains everywhere. He turns around at practice to meet eyes that are not there; twists around in bed searching for his warmth; at one point Neil bought a pint of ice cream just to fill the empty space in their freezer. Nicky assures him it will ease, that sometimes he will forget he needs Andrew around constantly. It hasn’t happened yet, that brief stretch of time when Neil doesn't miss him. Neil’s nervous for when it will hit. If it ever does. Even if it didn't seem unfair to Andrew not to want him twenty-four seven, Neil just isn't sure he is capable of being completely happy with this distance between them.

Like Andrew can hear his thoughts, he tips forward and presses his mouth to Neil’s neck. Resting there. Staying close. His lips barely move when he says, “Your heart is racing.”

Neil closes his eyes. He catches Andrew’s wandering hands and tangles their fingers together. He can’t imagine letting go for anything.

“Andrew,”

“Mm?”

“Andrew. Look at me?”

With a begrudging sigh, Andrew pulls back. He freezes when Neil catches his face and smacks a sloppy kiss to his nose. Neil feels Andrew’s cheeks start burning hotter, experiences his own heart swell twice its usual size.

Andrew’s eyes go wide and exceptionally golden when he’s happy.

Neil does it again and again and again. He kisses Andrew’s chin, cheekbones, both eyelids, along his jawline. He punctuates his journey with a final press to Andrew’s forehead, drawing back with a grin so wide it hurts old scars. Andrew huffs impatiently, pushing up onto the tip of his toes. Neil allows their noses brush, then leans away.

“I’m not kissing you properly, not when you just ate that shitty toasted sandwich.”

Andrew stares at him. He covers Neil’s hands, gently framing his neck, with his own. He guides them down to lay flat on the counter. They stay there.

“I am not going to Wal-Mart.”

“Okay. Walgreens?”

“Fine.”

“Fine?”

Andrew glares. Instead of repeating himself, he says, “I’m going to call Nicky.”

Even though Nicky would be thrilled, Neil feels obliged to step in. “He’s going to notice you’re all…” Neil doesn’t know how to say ‘spoiling for a blow job’ without triggering Andrew’s pettiness and getting himself quarantined to his own side of the bed. At a loss for words, he gestures at Andrew expressively, which seems to communicate his point. Andrew pinches his thigh, unimpressed. “What?”

“You are not nearly as cute as you think you are.”

“Pretty sure I’m as cute as you think I am.”

Andrew looks prepared to walk out of the apartment altogether. “One day, you’ll learn to stop talking,” He says wistfully. Two fingers press down on Neil’s lips on the edge of too rough. Andrew strides into his bedroom, the door hanging open behind him. Neil hears the tingy sound of a Skype call ringing out, followed by the pop of an answered call.

Seconds later, Renee’s warm voice is saying, “Oh! Hello, Andrew. This is a surprise. Is Neil there?”

Andrew doesn’t answer. Renee explains without being asked: “You get a certain look on your face when—”

“This was a mistake,” says Andrew. Neil guesses the only thing that keeps him from hanging up is Renee’s sudden cresting laughter. She continues unhindered, “No, no, I was just kidding. It really is nice to see you! Neil? Neil, are you there?”

“Hi, Renee.”

She somehow hears him, calling back, “Hello! It must be nice for you to two to be together again. Well, what are you doing, Andrew? How is your practice going?”

Andrew proceeds to talk to her in a near whisper. Neil lets his rising and falling murmur slow his heart rate down. Once the giddiness leaves his head, Neil finds his feet again. He cleans up the kitchen so Andrew won’t need to do it later, then starts his hunt for a scrap of paper and pen.

It was time to draft his first ever shopping list.

Heartbreak is Necessary.

Everything that happens to you, even the most insignificant things, stay with you. They become a part of you, even though you don't often realize it at all. You are never truly free of anything. EVER. You only learn to look beyond it. You push it under, where it is not so close to the surface anymore, and you live the next day. And the next. And the next, until it's so much a part of you that you do not even notice it anymore.

It's not such a terrible thing once you learn to deal with it and carry on living.

Every heartbreak your heart has experienced is a part of who you are today. Z (let's call him that for identity protection and stuff, okay?) is a part of me. Always will be. Sure, there were others but none that stayed with me, transformed me, and defined me the way he did.

He is so much more than my first love, but I do not love him anymore. Not the way I used to anyway. But I do have a lot of love for him, I think. We are at a good place now, me and Z. We are friends - with history. We were by each other's sides in our toughest times and I think in a way, maybe, we made each other grow. Or maybe it was just me. Who knows?!

However, one thing is for certain. My life would have been drastically different had he not come into my life when he did.

There are two events in my life that marked transformation: Meeting Z and the death of my father, in chronological order.

I don't remember the "Before Z" period too well but I know that it was dark and lonely in my mind. I struggled to understand myself and thus my relationships with people around me suffered greatly. I was not particularly close to my family at the time. I loved them, but I felt that no one understood me. I had friends, but none that I truly understood all parts of me. Chalk it up to being an angsty teenager but it was a dark period of my life.

Then I met Z.

And it was like someone lit a candle in my head for the first time in my entire dark angsty life. I could finally see. Little did I know that I'd burn myself on that very flame and that my strength would be forged from that fire itself. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

He understood me. Finally, someone understood me, and cared enough to make the effort to understand more. Throw in some teenage hormones and voila! I was in love.

No one marries and lives happily ever after with their first love. It's a rarity. But that first love is everything. It teaches us what it is like to love recklessly without restraint. To open our hearts with no walls of any kind. To keep our heart upon our sleeves and offer ourselves up on a platter, no questions asked.

It's like a speeding train with no control. And like anything moving at unmanageable speed with absolutely no way of controlling the pace, love like that is bound to crash. Painfully.

First heartbreak is just as important as the first love. You cry and you feel like your entire world is falling apart. Like you would not - could not - live another day without that person. Like everything is over and there will be nothing worth living for afterwards.

But your world will be fine. You live. Everything is not over and you will fine ample amount of things to live for. It will hurt but you will live. There is life after that person. You survive it and you realize that maybe, you can survive anything.

I don't really know if what I felt for Z is true love or not. Frankly, I don't think love like that even exists beyond fairytales and romance novels. All I know is that I loved him with everything I had in every way I knew how to at that time. Looking back now, it is kinda funny. I mean, what do you truly know about love when you are 18? Oh hell, I'm 25 now and I'm not sure if I've figured it out yet.

I may never love or feel again with the reckless abandon of my first love. I'm too scared to. I don't think I know how to anymore. But maybe that's a good thing. Love like that burns out and burns everyone in the process. Love like that cannot last. You speed to crash and the high is never worth the pain that follows.

I feel sad for my 18 year old self. She felt way too much, suffered inside her own head, and hurt herself as well as those around her. But I had to be her to be here now.

Heartbreak is necessary.

I will always look back to that period of 2013, losing my father to death and Z to unrequited love, as my period of transformation.

"When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change." - Avatar Aang (Legend of Korra)

And it was my lowest point. Not only had I lost the boy - that one person who I thought truly understood me, but 6 months into that I lost the one person whose love meant the most to me.

On top of all that, I needed to figure out who I was without Z being in my life 24/7 and who I needed to be after my father passed away. In short, I was in a ton of pain and having a terrible identity crisis at the same damn time.

The worst is to lose yourself in the process of loving someone and I had hit the lowest point.

It was an opportunity. I could redesign who I was just as I wanted to be. I built myself from ground up - to my own specifications. And instead of being reduced by the pain, I chose to grow from it.

Heartbreak is necessary.

You cannot grow without it. Both my greatest pains moulded me to become my strongest self.

Suffering is common to all. Suffering is inevitable. If we can somehow learn from it and grow from it, maybe we can make it worth all the pain someday.

Alienware Area-51m Gaming Laptop Review

Unveiled at CES 2019,the Area-51m represents a pivotal moment for Dell and Alienware.The OEM has discontinued its venerable Alienware seventeen sequence immediately after every one of these years to introduce a very new layout that can probably turn out to be the baseline for long run Alienware laptops.Even the name is actually a deliberate nod on the first Alienware Area-51 laptop computer we reviewed around a decade in the past.There are many vital facets regarding the Area-51m that make it exclusive when put next to competing 17.3-inch gaming laptops previously inside the marketplace.For a person,it can be one of many couple laptops that integrate Tobii eye-tracking for assistance on selected titles.Next,the technique utilizes a typical 95+ W desktop Main i9-9900K CPU instead of the same old 45 W cellular Core i7 or i9 collection identified on most gaming laptops.Last of all,its RTX 2080 GPU is often a removable and upgradeable Dell Graphics Kind Component card in the very same vein given that the MXM GPU.Merge this that has a new chassis that optimizes airflow and you've got one of the most impressive Alienware laptop Dell has produced but.This enthusiast-level gaming laptop will not exist within a vacuum,obviously,so we'll be evaluating it to other 17.3-inch flagship opponents including the Clevo Eurocom Sky X7C, Asus ROG G703GX, MSI GT75 Titan, Acer Predator 17,as well as the final era alimentatore samsung cpa09-002a Alienware 17 R5 once and for all measure.We will also be evaluating it to our reference desktop Personal computer outfitted with the equal Main i9-9900K CPU and RTX 2080 GPU.Immediately after all,Dell is declaring a overall performance amount comparable to a desktop and so we are going to be putting that on the take a look at.

Design

Simply place,the Alienware Area-51m is freaking beautiful.This is often the antithesis with the 'gaming laptop' stereotype.This laptop computer features an attractive,clear style and design,and whilst it can be surely massive,it isn't going to seem like an edgy toy.You won't truly feel the need to cover this laptop computer when persons occur about. The Alienware Area-51m weighs a whopping eight.fifty four kilos,and is particularly 1.seven inches thick at its deepest place.This implies you almost certainly will not be carrying it all around anywhere,but it can be truly thinner and lighter as opposed to MSI GT75 Titan. It appears to be much better,also: the Alienware Area-51m comes in two coloration options,Lunar Light-weight and Dark Aspect of your Moon,and both of those alternatives batteria samsung aa-plvn4ar are jaw-dropping.We obtained the Lunar Gentle design,and the notebook incorporates a white chassis with black accents while in the front,and where the vents are all-around back. You can obtain RGB lights basically everywhere you go  §C the keyboard,ability button,trackpad,the emblem close to the back again and a ring all over the vents in the back again all light-weight up in regardless of what color you would like.What is actually additional,unlike many other gaming laptops,the Alienware Area-51m's keyboard characteristics per-key RGB,which means your imagination batteria toshiba pa5024u-1brs could be the only limit to the way you may make this laptop computer look. And,certainly you'll find more than enough ports to the Alienware Area-51m.Around the suitable aspect of your laptop,you can expect to locate two USB 3.1 Type-A ports.About about the left,you get a Thunderbolt 3,an additional USB three.1 Type-A as well as your headphone and mic jacks.At last,all-around the back,you will find a Mini DisplayPort,HDMI,Ethernet,an Alienware Graphics Amplifier for an exterior GPU and two ability inputs.You examine that correct.With the volume of components on present with all the Alienware Area-51m,you're going to need to plug in each a 330W plus a 180W electrical power brick.Nevertheless,you can plug while in the 330W power adapter,and it'll be excellent more than enough to keep the laptop running,it just is not going to cost the battery. As for inputs,the trackpad is nothing to write house about.There are two dedicated hardware clickers,along with the trackpad by itself is responsive and accurate,even though it is a little bit much too tiny for our preferences. But,that TactX keyboard It truly is divine.Deep journey,peaceful,well-spaced,in essence each individual constructive adjective we can easily use applies below.Because the notebook is so substantial,there is an entire range pad about the appropriate facet with the laptop computer,together with lots of macro keys.These macro keys are great sufficient on their own,but what really sets them aside is their placement: we don't ever obtain ourselves unintentionally hitting them though writing or gaming.The fact that we could comfortably style on this notebook for function with no waking up roommates could be among the best elements caricabatterie asus k53Sj about this laptop.You see,a lot of equivalent desktop substitution gaming laptops characteristic loud and clicky mechanical keyboards.When this can be magnificent for taking part in online games,every little thing else usually suffers. The Alienware Area-51m's followers,nonetheless, are loud,very much every one of the time.That is being expected thanks to the category of components in this kind of a small place,however, if admirer noise receives on your own nerves,it's possible you'll wish to glimpse in other places.For a thicc gaming laptop like this,the Alienware Area-51m has shockingly thin screen bezels.They don't seem to be to the standard of among the best Ultrabooks,but they are small enough that we do not observe them in day-to-day use.This is probable as the lid of the laptop computer will not cover your entire chassis,as there is about two inches of space at the rear of the monitor. Under the display screen can be a Tobii Eye Monitoring sensor,and it is not far too obnoxious.You can notice it,but similar to every single other part of the laptop's structure,it just suits. The show alone is actually a Full Hd IPS display screen,managing at 144Hz with G-Sync.And,using this GPU,hitting a hundred and forty four frames per second in many games can be an complete breeze,so we've been regularly able to capitalize within the higher refresh price.Rely on us,when you finally play some Battlefield V on the significant refresh level screen,you will find no going again. Ultimately,there is certainly the speakers.They are positioned about the entrance with the chassis and so are,frankly,amazing.Even with this exceptionally loud notebook,these speakers batteria acer tm8571 are loud and very clear ample that we do not have to go scrambling for any headset when enjoying online games.There is certainly a great deal of bass and clear element that it can be practically like having a number of the finest laptop speakers crafted into the notebook.Mainly,the Alienware Area-51m is really a detail of natural beauty.This is not a laptop that you're going to have the ability to carry close to with you,obviously,but we can't halt looking at it.Alienware includes a popularity for crafting distinctive and awe-inspiring pc layouts,and also the Alienware Area-51m is evidence that the manufacturer has not missing its touch.

While our certain device is a higher-end configuration while using the Core i9-9900K and RTX 2080,lower-end solutions ship while using the Core i7-8700 and RTX 2060 instead.The opportunity to swap out both of those the CPU and GPU is often a special edge while in the gaming laptop area wherever soldered processors are commonplace.The Area-51m has far more in widespread with Clevo barebone laptops alternatively than laptops from MSI or Asus for a final result.All benchmarks and measurements batteria asus c21pp95 beneath had been executed using the process set to High Effectiveness mode except otherwise said.We would like to show off the system at its fastest even though which means getting the lovers at greatest RPM.CPU functionality batteria hp 800010 421 is sort of two times more rapidly compared to the Main i7-8750H inside the Alienware 17 R5 and about 45 percent speedier as opposed to Main i9-8950HK while in the MSI GT75.This quickly of the CPU comes in helpful when aiming for frame rates higher than sixty FPS.What we really wish to know is how the CPU compares against a traditional desktop while using the similar Main i9-9900K.According to CineBench R15 Multi-Thread,the Area-51m is just two percent slower in comparison to the Main i9-9900K in our desktop Pc.This delta begins to widen,however,when operating CineBench R15 within a loop as the Alienware notebook struggles to take care of utmost Turbo Raise clock charges for very long durations as proven by our comparison graph below.Its original score of 1941 details drops to about 1862 factors toward the tip of your loop examination.When accounting for this overall performance throttling,our reference batteria asus ux390ua desktop Computer system performs about seven to eight percent faster than our Alienware.Our Eurocom Sky X7C with the identical Core i9-9900K CPU will be able to score incredibly similarly from the similar CineBench loop take a look at.PCMark 10 ranks our Alienware consistently powering the Eurocom Sky X7C outfitted using the very same CPU and GPU by just 1 to three percentage details.This really is most likely because of to our Eurocom unit having 4x the RAM than our Alienware and with more rapidly Samsung SSDs.Even so,these scores remain many of the greatest within our database.We did not working experience any distinct software program or hardware challenges on our check device save for 1 annoyance.The display batteria hp cq62-251tx would automatically dim if it isn't going to detect consumer activity for more than 5 seconds.This cannot be adjusted or disabled by any Home windows or Alienware settings that we all know of to really make it even more frustrating.You will discover a complete of 3 inner storage bays with Optane aid in contrast to 4 on the MSI GT75 or Eurocom Sky X7C.Our certain configuration is supplied with two SK Hynix PC400 M.two NVMe SSDs in RAID 0 together with a secondary 1 TB Seagate FireCuda ST1000LX015 HDD.Dell provides storage possibilities ranging from 256 GB as many as 2 TB,nonetheless they regrettably tend not to specify the precise design names for these drives.Dell features that its detachable DGFF GeForce RTX 2080 GPU can run as rapid to be a desktop RTX 2080 considering that they equally run underneath comparable TDP envelopes.In truth,it certainly arrives close.Our "proper" reference desktop Computer system with RTX 2080 graphics batteria toshiba c850-19n is able to outscore our Alienware-51m by up to 6 % in 3DMark benchmarks.Users need to be capable of close that gap by overclocking the Alienware GPU on the price of higher temperatures.When put next to other laptops together with the exact RTX 2080 GPU,the Alienware would seem to come back out on top.As an example,both the RTX 2080 GPUs from the Eurocom Sky X7C and Asus ROG G703GX are continuously about four to 6 % slower when compared to the Alienware.The graphics overall performance advantage to the Dell is there,albeit marginal.Techniques with the RTX 2080 Max-Q like the Alienware m15 or m17 are slower by about 20 to twenty five p.c.Real-world gaming effectiveness is still basically similar to a desktop RTX 2080 irrespective of what the synthetic benchmarks higher than show.Jogging Metro Exodus on greatest settings,by way of example,is usually a handful of frames more rapidly than on our reference desktop.Performance is about 30 to 35 percent faster than a typical GTX 1080 or 40 to 45 percent quicker than a typical desktop RTX 2060.Jogging Witcher 3 shows no recurring dips batteria asus a31n1601 in body prices to propose no interrupting background action throughout gameplay.

Energy Management

Idling on desktop attracts wherever concerning 23 W and 39 W based on the brightness environment and energy profile to generally be akin to the more mature Alienware 17 R5.Actually,electric power consumption is comparable to most other less-powerful 17.3-inch gaming laptops when functioning very low to medium workloads.Distinctions begin to emerge when working far more demanding workloads like game titles.When functioning Witcher 3,such as,we have been ready to history a constant electric power use of 340 W in contrast to only 284 W within the Asus ROG G703GX with all the much less demanding forty five W Core i7-8750H.It is a twenty percent boost in intake for just a mere 5 percent improve in graphics performance on this distinct title.Working a desktop Main i9-9900K at entire speed certainly has its implications caricabatterie dell e6430 in this regard.When on maximum load with Prime95 and FurMark managing simultaneously,we're ready to measure a merged intake of 485.one W in the two AC adapters.Notice the laptop computer is able to run on only one adapter only albeit at diminished efficiency.A person adapter is larger sized and heavier when compared to the other this means you can have only the modest adapter for outings when the entire energy of the technique may not be required.Some Clevo-based techniques like the Eurocom Sky X7C operate on a solitary extra-large AC adapter to avoid the hassle of needing two AC adapters.Not surprisingly,there are actually professionals and drawbacks to the two the Dell and Clevo alternatives.Battery capability alimentatore toshiba pa3290e-3ac3 is more compact than over the outgoing Alienware 17 R5.Couple this which has a a lot much more demanding desktop CPU and it is unsurprising that battery lifestyle is shorter.When subjected to WLAN load,we've been equipped to history a runtime of just over 2 hours in comparison to practically two times that within the Alienware 17 R5 or Asus ROG G703GX.Outcomes are comparable to what we observed within the Eurocom Sky X7C equipped with all the exact CPU and GPU.Even with all the things set to least like brightness,Ability Saver,and Quiet method,we have been only equipped to record a runtime of just about two.five hours.Charging from vacant to comprehensive capacity batteria hp dO02xl normally takes a little around two hrs.The charging time would not appear to change significantly if utilizing one particular or equally adapters and in the event the procedure is idling or working undemanding masses.

MEN. Why do guys think it’s appropriate to hit on women on every form of social media? It’s getting to the point where I dread opening my social apps because it seems like at least a couple times a week, some guy is making some unsolicited comment about me being attractive or wanting to hang out. Don’t ask me to hang out because you think I’m pretty. Don’t ask me to hang out at all! I can guarantee you that if a woman wanted to see more of you or desired your attention, she would work for it a little. But I keep getting hit on by guys I don’t even talk to, WHY?

I’m a relatively attractive girl. And yes, I post selfies. Sue me! Everyone does it, but posting a #selfie shouldn’t be an invitation to get creeped on. It’s just a person posting a picture that they like of themselves. Sure, no one can deny that it is attention-seeking to an extent, but maybe someone is just celebrating the fact that he or she looks good that day, and the confidence shines through the picture! Maybe someone is having a bad day and hopes for a positive comment to serve as a confidence booster. Whatever the motive behind posting it is doesn’t give someone the entitlement to be harassed. 

Maybe I’m being too sensitive to the subject right now, but it’s happened to me too often recently. I had a male friend who is married ask me for nudes over snapchat. When I called him out on it, he immediately reverted to the ‘omg I was only joking!’ excuse. I bet your wife wouldn’t think you were joking, but who knows what you tell her. I had a guy message me the day after Valentine’s day over snapchat to tell me how beautiful I was and to confess that he wanted to take the time to get to know me better. I met him once about a year and a half ago. I never make conversation with him, despite following eachother on a couple forms of social media. I politely told him I wasn’t interested because I was working on myself, and truth be told, still getting over someone. He seemed to get irritated and told me that “not all guys are jerks” and I left the conversation alone. A week later, I posted a selfie before I went to happy hour with my friend and he commented on every single photo I added to my snapstory and then had the audacity to message me asking for a full-length picture so he could see the entire “ensemble.” CREEPY.

There is a guy in my life who told me he still has feelings for me and hasn’t gotten over me in the time he’s known me, and said he didn’t care if we blurred any lines among our friend group. I told him that I was flattered, but not interested. He also got annoyed and told me I was so quick to deny people chances, but listen. I cannot force myself to be interested in someone. I know who I like and what I look for in a person, and it’s just not him. But what does he do? Continue to message me about my paintings and how he wants to help me with them. It just makes him look desperate and somehow, it makes me feel guilty for not giving him the time of day, but like I said, I can’t force something that isn’t there.

The latest offender is a guy who slid into my direct messages on instagram and texted me right after. I looked at our text conversation and turned to my friend and told her we hadn’t messaged in well over a year. Why now? When I checked the message from him on insta, he had sent me a copy of my own photo and told me how pretty I looked. I gave a generic (but genuine!) thank you, and tried to end the conversation there. Instead, he told me that a dress like that required a special kind of attention accompanied by a date. Is that what guys do now? Try to ask you out online for a “date” just because they think you look good in a picture? It’s sad. I told him that I wasn’t looking for anything right now, and once again, that I needed to dedicate my time to myself and figuring out what my next move is. But when he messaged me again and I didn’t answer it within an appropriate amount of time for him, he messaged me again to let me know he saw that I was online. (I hadn’t even opened the message yet!!) Quite frankly, I don’t owe anyone that kind of attention.

For the first time since 2014 probably, I’ve gotten an increasing amount of attention from guys. It seems like there’s always someone who comes creeping out of the woodwork and I am so disinterested in it all. The amount of thirst from these guys is palpable and it turns me off so much. There’s too much desperation and for what? So you can try to hook up with me and inevitably stop talking? Yeah, count me out. I’m not actively pursuing anyone or anything. I need to feel completely alone and break down the many parts of myself I didn’t like or respect so I can be stronger, both mentally and physically. I’ve already noticed a shift in my behavior towards men--I’m not as interested in coming across as nice and polite to maintain my image. I will call a guy out the second I don’t like something because I’m not going to tolerate childish behavior or be someone’s flavor of the week. I’ve noticed an increase in my confidence level from the past couple months of solitude. I’ve been working out (although inconsistently lately) and trying to challenge myself by doing at least one or two activities per week that give me a little bit of anxiety. I’m trying to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, because I honestly believe that I’ll come out on the other side as a better version of myself. I want to shed the skin of the insecure girl who never felt good enough or that she was worthy of love.

Strangely enough, I realized that I am still hesitant of love from watching the Bachelor. Now, I don’t necessarily believe that you can fall in love over the span of six weeks, but I related so strongly to one of the contestants of winter games this past season. Two people, really. Both thought that they were open to the idea of love, but neither of them could break down the walls to let someone in. One was haunted by the ghost of his previous relationship while the other person had a great guy in front of her but she couldn’t seem to open herself up enough to accept his love. I resonated so strongly with both of these individuals’ stories, and it makes me a little bit fearful. It makes me fearful that even if a decent guy came around, I wouldn’t be open to giving him a fair shot because of the last one. Whether I care to admit it or not, I’m still more affected by that situation than I like to lead on. Part of me realized recently that I was still waiting for him to miraculously come back, even if I knew that it wasn’t going to happen. 

So many people have told me I haven’t tried moving on, but they’re wrong. I’ve taken steps to move forward like muting his interactions on certain forms of social media or deleting him from others. I’ve distanced myself from mutual friends that we share so I’m reminded less of him and whatever we shared last year. I’ve hung out with two guys who seemed to have my best interests at heart, but in the end, I just wasn’t feeling it. I had an opportunity to kiss one guy who took me on a date, but I just couldn’t. I didn’t feel ready or I wasn’t as interested as I thought. Or I was scared. Maybe that’s what it was, but either way, nothing happened. I’ve kissed one person since and it was a friend and we were both drunk and didn’t mean anything to us (considering it’s a girl and she’s dating my friend). 

Rumor has it, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. And honestly, I’m considering it. I know I just tore guys to shreds and said they were acting too desperate, but if I’m going to be bad, I know who it would be with. But I also haven’t put myself in a situation where that could happen because I’m trying to be smart and not fall into what is, inevitably, a trap. So, until someone decent comes into my life, I will be alone and learn to do more things that make me feel happy and make me feel whole.

Heartbreak is Necessary

Everything that happens to you, even the most insignificant things, stay with you. They become a part of you, even though you don’t often realize it at all. 

You are never truly free of anything. EVER. You only learn to look beyond it. You push it under, where it is not so close to the surface anymore, and you live the next day. And the next. And the next, until it’s so much a part of you that you do not even notice it anymore.

It’s not such a terrible thing once you learn to deal with it and carry on living.

Every heartbreak your heart has experienced is a part of who you are today. Z (let’s call him that for identity protection and stuff, okay?) is a part of me. Always will be. Sure, there were others but none that stayed with me, transformed me, and defined me the way he did.

He is so much more than my first love, but I do not love him anymore. Not the way I used to anyway. But I do have a lot of love for him, I think. We are at a good place now, me and Z. We are friends - with history. We were by each other’s sides in our toughest times and I think in a way, maybe, we made each other grow. Or maybe it was just me. Who knows?!

However, one thing is for certain. My life would have been drastically different had he not come into my life when he did.

There are two events in my life that marked transformation: Meeting Z and the death of my father, in chronological order.

I don’t remember the “Before Z” period too well but I know that it was dark and lonely in my mind. I struggled to understand myself and thus my relationships with people around me suffered greatly. I was not particularly close to my family at the time. I loved them, but I felt that no one understood me. I had friends, but none that I truly understood all parts of me. Chalk it up to being an angsty teenager but it was a dark period of my life.

Then I met Z.

And it was like someone lit a candle in my head for the first time in my entire dark angsty life. I could finally see. Little did I know that I’d burn myself on that very flame and that my strength would be forged from that fire itself. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

He understood me. Finally, someone understood me, and cared enough to make the effort to understand more. Throw in some teenage hormones and voila! I was in love.

No one marries and lives happily ever after with their first love. It’s a rarity. But that first love is everything. It teaches us what it is like to love recklessly without restraint. To open our hearts with no walls of any kind. To keep our heart upon our sleeves and offer ourselves up on a platter, no questions asked.

It’s like a speeding train with no control. And like anything moving at unmanageable speed with absolutely no way of controlling the pace, love like that is bound to crash. Painfully.

First heartbreak is just as important as the first love. You cry and you feel like your entire world is falling apart. Like you would not - could not - live another day without that person. Like everything is over and there will be nothing worth living for afterwards.

But your world will be fine. You live. Everything is not over and you will fine ample amount of things to live for. It will hurt but you will live. There is life after that person. You survive it and you realize that maybe, you can survive anything.

I don’t really know if what I felt for Z is true love or not. Frankly, I don’t think love like that even exists beyond fairytales and romance novels. All I know is that I loved him with everything I had in every way I knew how to at that time. Looking back now, it is kinda funny. I mean, what do you truly know about love when you are 18? Oh hell, I’m 25 now and I’m not sure if I’ve figured it out yet.

I may never love or feel again with the reckless abandon of my first love. I’m too scared to. I don’t think I know how to anymore. But maybe that’s a good thing. Love like that burns out and burns everyone in the process. Love like that cannot last. You speed to crash and the high is never worth the pain that follows.

I feel sad for my 18 year old self. She felt way too much, suffered inside her own head, and hurt herself as well as those around her. But I had to be her to be here now.

Heartbreak is necessary.

I will always look back to that period of 2013, losing my father to death and Z to unrequited love, as my period of transformation.

“When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change.” - Avatar Aang (Legend of Korra)

And it was my lowest point. Not only had I lost the boy - that one person who I thought truly understood me, but 6 months into that I lost the one person whose love meant the most to me.

On top of all that, I needed to figure out who I was without Z being in my life 24/7 and who I needed to be after my father passed away. In short, I was in a ton of pain and having a terrible identity crisis at the same damn time.

The worst is to lose yourself in the process of loving someone and I had hit the lowest point.

It was an opportunity. I could redesign who I was just as I wanted to be. I built myself from ground up - to my own specifications. And instead of being reduced by the pain, I chose to grow from it.

Heartbreak is necessary.

You cannot grow without it. Both my greatest pains moulded me to become my strongest self.

Suffering is common to all. Suffering is inevitable. If we can somehow learn from it and grow from it, maybe we can make it worth all the pain someday.

What is forestall out level in forex?

A forestall out degree in foreign exchange is a particular factor at which all of a trader's lively positions within the Forex Signals market are closed mechanically by their broker because of a decrease of their margin to tiers, meaning they are able to no longer aid the open positions.

Forex is a leveraged market, which means that that for every dollar buyers put up for every change, their broker can lend them a fixed amount of dollars that surpasses the trader's real capital so that they have the capability to gain extra income.

In this newsletter, we can answer the following question: what's prevent out level in forex? We are able to additionally check distinct examples and phrases connected with stop out levels.

The position of leverage right here

Let's exemplify what we have referred to above. In case you placed up 500 dollars on a leverage of 1:2 hundred for a selected alternate, your broking will enable you to keep a function really worth 100,000 bucks. Leverage befell as it takes a number of money to govern positions in the forex market. In fact, forex movements are very tiny, e.G., a fee of 0.001 in step with unit motion, and for this to offer first rate returns, massive sums of money need to be invested in trade positions. Lots of investors do now not have these amounts to invest, so that is why leverage was designed in an attempt to create a prepared pool of budget for forex traders to finance their trades.

Leverage isn't always perfect, and it does, in fact, include an undesirable effect. It is able to now not handiest magnifying income, however additionally losses. In addition, losses are taken not from the leverage money at once, however from the trader's capital. If losses get to a positive factor wherein the dealer's equity is sort of wiped out, the broking will simply mechanically near the placement to at ease the leverage money they have provided earlier. This action, referred to as a margin call, is a dealer's nightmare. A forex stop out stage is likewise known as the crucial level of fairness drop in a dealer's account at which this dreaded margin name will be finished.

Getting a draw close on forestall out degrees

If there are more than one energetic positions on a trader's account, it's far herbal for the dealer to close out the least beneficial ones first and go away profitable ones open. Certainly, if all of the positions are in debt, they will be shut down.

Various brokers have specific takes on what comprises their forestall out. It's miles essential to recognise what your broking's stop out degree and margin name is. A massive amount of traders fail to test this and just rush into opening their debts.

A few agents have a tendency to assert of their trading situations that their margin name is same to a prevent out stage foreign exchange, or, truely positioned, prevent out stage = margin call. This means that the forestall out is the factor at which a margin name be could be certainly issued. One unpleasant surprise of this could be that no warnings are given earlier. As a result, once the equity drops to the forestall out degree, all your positions are closed. This may very risky in case you are new to buying and selling currencies or don't manage your account properly.

Some other state of affairs is whilst the forestall out stage is at 10%, and the margin name, at 20%. What this indicates is that after your equity receives to twenty% of the margin (which is the equity necessary to sustain the position), the dealer will then get an enhance notice from the broking to take steps to prevent a forestall out, but this could be explained a touch bit later. If not anything is carried out and your fairness drops to the foreign exchange prevent out, your positions might be closed. If you have such a dealer, margin call isn't always a dreaded thing – it's far a easy caution and with good management you will most likely save you the prevent out level from being reached. These brokers may also suggest you to deposit extra money as a way to meet the minimal margin requirement.

Let's study every other instance. Imagine which you have a buying and selling account with a broker that has a 50% margin call stage and a 20% prevent out degree. Your stability is evaluated at $10,000, and you open one trading role with a $1,000 margin. If the loss on this function reaches $nine,500, your account equity turns out to be $10,000 - $ 9,500 = $500. That is already 50% of your used margin, so the dealer will issue a margin name caution. Thereby, whilst your loss on function reaches $nine,800 and your account fairness appears to be $10,000 - $nine,800 = $200 (i.E., 20% of the used margin), it's going to then without a doubt trigger a stop out foreign exchange, and the broking will close your losing position to save you all destiny losses.

The remaining example (includes euro as foreign money) is the subsequent: a foreign exchange dealer has a 2 hundred%/one hundred% margin call and stop out degree respectively, with a €1,500 balance. Consider that you open a buying and selling position with a €200 margin. If the loss on this position reaches the point of €1,one hundred, your account fairness will become €1,500 - €1,one hundred = €400 (this is 2 hundred% of your used margin), and the margin call might be performed. While your loss in this role receives to a charge of as a minimum €1,three hundred and your account equity subsequently becomes €1,500 - €1,300 = €two hundred, this accounts for 100% of the used margin, and the foreign exchange prevent restriction will close your function robotically. A way to avoid or save you forestall out

In case you need to keep away from any difficult effects, you need to take a few steps to prevent forestall outs. Generally, it's far all about appropriate trade control, however, we do have some recommendations so that you can comply with.

The primary one is to stop your self from beginning too many orders simultaneously. Why? Greater orders method that fairness is used up to maintain a change, so that you depart less fairness as free margin to keep away from margin call and forestall out level in foreign exchange.

To hold chaos at bay, you are strongly counseled to apply stop-losses. This could can help you manage your losses. In case your contemporary trade is desperately unprofitable, there's no experience preserving it open. It would be a far higher selection to close it at the same time as you still have some finances in your account, in any other case, your dealer will have no opportunity but to go away you and your account with not anything.

As one of the recommendations, you ought to use hedging techniques. The trouble is that numerous foreign exchange buyers do not know something about hedging at all. Frankly talking, you cannot continue to exist in the forex market with out adopting a technique that seasoned investors use in an try to cover for their losses and avoid stop restriction foreign exchange. There may be no need to cover the truth that everybody will lose cash sooner or later, it is inevitable. You may, but, take steps to make certain you don't lose what you don't should.

Above, we had a examine the scenario in which you might be issued an improve observe. This is while the margin call is higher than the stop out degree. If that is the case, you need to instantly use an immediate funding technique to add cash to your buying and selling account.
