#but my bf knows I won’t go anywhere near my ex

[romantic-suggestions]

Hey ! ! I read people’s story about their s/o and i really wanted to share one myself. Hope you’re well and I’m not bothering you rn, please stay hydrated ! I’ve had a bf for like 6 months now and it’s not very long, I know, but he means sooo much to me. And how we came to be a couple is actually quite funny too !

We first met through friends like 3 years ago, and we were already vibin’ together quite well but at the time I wasn’t that much interested in a relationship, and I only saw him once or twice so I didn’t think about it very thoroughly. For the sake of the story, I will call my boyfriend A. Fast forward last september, I suffered a nasty breakup - I broke up with my ex but he tried emotionally blackmailing me and I won’t get into much details because it’s a bit triggering. And I began to talk to A through social media, just small talk about music and everything, but i really enjoyed our discussions ! We could get into deep philosophical or emotional matters like we knew each other for years- At the time I was afraid it wasn’t a real crush, that I just didn’t want to be alone, i felt kinda guilty...

One day, a friend of mine we’ll call M, who I barely knew, asked if he could walk me home after class ( I found it quite suspicious because he didn’t live anywhere near me and it’s a good 30min walk but still, I said yes because I didn’t see any reason to refuse ). We were walking quietly, talking about nothing and everything, and he came to ask if there was anyone I liked ! ! Tbh I was panicking internally because I thought he was gonna tell me he liked me, and without even thinking I said that yeah, I had been talking to A and I kinda had a teeny tiny crush on him. What surprised me is that he instantly laughed, not nervously, just a good hearted laugh, and he asked if I’d like to go out with A, which i answered with a yes, quite nervous about what I just got into. M then admitted that A had asked him specifically to question me, because A had a crush on me but didn’t want to try his luck before he was sure. And that was SOOO cute ! ! I was relieved, both because M didn’t tell me he liked me, and because A liked me back. Like a week later we confessed to each other, and we got together ! ! (Well, the only downside was that M wouldn’t stop bragging about how he was the Cupid in our story but eh, he deserved to)

Sorry that was so long ! Hope you enjoyed it ! !

Awwww, don't worry about the length, because that's such a sweet story!!! There's so many bumps, but I'm glad you're both together! Don't feel bad about it being only 6 months, because honestly, your friendship's been a lot longer, so it's not as if it's new, but just different! And omg, friends who will also be your wingperson are the best, and waah!!! That's legitimately so sweet to hear about <3

And those deep conversations and the feelings coming up!!! Waaaah! That's so adorable, and such a lovely way to get to know each other <3 ! And I know he was definitely nervous, but the way in which you both came to be is peak romcom!!! I'm so happy for you both!

I hope you're both having a lovely day anon, and that M knows he's a great cupid!

Hey, anon seeking advice here. I’ve posted my story here before, i twice I think and you always gave me good advice and ur words comforted me. I didn’t think I would be sharing again…but.. I’m scared.

My family has history with abuse, I don’t have an abusive family but many of the women in my family have faced sexual assault, myself Included. My aunt, dated someone who turned out to be a pedophilla, sexual assaulter, gas lighter, and just an over all bad person. I can’t say what he did because it’s my families privicy. He abused my mother, he was abusive to my aunt, and was a neglectful and abusive to my cousin.

Somehow he’s come back and I’m honestly shocked. My aunt got a restraining order against him after she was with him (I think but I may be wrong on the story, but there definitely was a restraining order involved) which might he had to leave the state we live in. But somehow he’s come back to the state we live and my family now has reason to believe he hacked into my grandpa’s phone. Chances are he will leave us alone. But what if he doesn’t? he’s sick minded, he has done things that most people wouldn’t do so he could come and find my family and hurt them for no reason except the fact it’s bored. It’s really scary. He already hurt my mom, I don’t want her getting hurt again.

I told my mom that we just tell the police, but she doesn’t seem like she wants to and says we can’t. Which is so frustrating. He shouldn’t be anywhere near us and the only people that can make him stop being near us is the police. My mom says that we can’t tell the police because he’s changed his name and other information about himself and also because my cousin told my grandma in confidence. And also because the police here might not know what he did. Which I don’t understand, I just don’t see any other way, yk?. Another problem is my family isn’t on speaking terms with my aunt and cousin and they would be the people who have information on him to tell the police. but I know for fact my parents won’t talk to them and I won’t either. They are both very mainplative people. I have trauma with my aunt, my aunt and cousin called social services on partents when I was in the hospital for suicide to break us up. But my family is the most healthy and kind families there is and they have never done anything close to abusive to me, never. They took my aunt in when she needed help and came and visited me in the hospital everyday for half a year. My aunt also abandoned me when I committed suicide and didn’t even ask if I was okay after I almost died, as well as encouraged me to allow my ex bf to sexually assault me. Going to them wouldn’t be a good idea, there the kind of people it’s best fo stay away from.

I really don’t know what to do and the thought of him doing something if he finds out where he lives won’t leave my head and it feels aweful. I feel so creeped out and I just want my family to be safe, but I don’t know. What can I do? What should I do? Just be safe in case anything happens.

Hey anon,

Assuming you live with them, your safety is being personally jeopardized, which I believe is enough reason to make their problem your problem as far as telling the police. I don't know if it matters whether or not you're a minor reporting, but I can double-check that.

But I do agree that someone should be telling the police about this, even if from the beginning. Also, if there is a restraining order, there's probably a case and case number, so if someone went to the police with knowledge of the case number, the police can contextualize the situation themselves by pulling up the case information. I want to just say though that I'm not absolutely sure about that, I just know that when I went to the police about my abuse they told me my case number for future reference, and I'm assuming that someone with an actual restraining order probably has this too.

Please keep me updated, stay as safe as you can ~

A Hidden Pain - Part 16

Original request from @purplekitten30​: Could you please write a Bucky x reader where she works as the teams assistant? She’s got a violent bf but no one knows about it until he assaults her at one of Starks parties. Bucky steps in and kicks his ass. He helps her move out of her place to live with him since he’s got his own floor at the tower.

Note: I genuinely cant believe this request is still going! I thought it may have been coming to an end but then another idea struck me so I guess I’ll continue until it either comes to a natural end or you all get bored <3

PREVIOUSLY

He was trying to be his usual self, attempting to make a joke out of what was actually a serious situation, but there was still a big part of him that was deeply concerned for his friend. Whether Steve admitted it out loud or not this whole thing wasn’t just about you and Bucky anymore….it was about you, him, AND Steve.

“She’s been through so much already, more than anyone deserves to, and so has Buck. They need each other. I refuse to take that away from either one of them.” He unwrapped the support bandages that had been around both of his hands and threw them into the bin nearest to him, his eyes only now looking over at Sam. “…and I sure as hell won’t allow you to either. It doesn’t matter how I feel after that time I spent with her….what matters is that she’s happy.”

“Ste-”

“I’m serious Sam. Just drop it. That year she only had me is over now. Well and truly.”

                                       * * * * * * * * * * 

The sun was barely even creeping through into the morning sky but already you were wide awake and sat at the breakfast table - not that you could even stomach a single mouthful of the cereal in front of you, instead it just sat there becoming a sorry mess. You had barely slept that night and your constant tossing and turning had started to disturb one of the rare restful nights Bucky had...this was the day you had been dreading.

They were moving Josh to a different facility out of state.

You should have been happy at the thought of him no longer being in the same building as you, that there would be hundreds of miles between you, but the bad feeling gnawing away at your stomach wasn't allowing you to have a more positive outlook. For a long time, Josh had always been one step ahead of you so what if-

"Nothing is going to happen today."

Your ever-growing paranoid thoughts were interrupted by only the second voice in your life that radiated calm and collected enough for you to feel it yourself, even if it was just temporarily. A soft smile lit up your fatigued face as you turned in your seat to face him.

"I wish I could be as confident as you are Steve, but I've just got this horrible feeling..." At the mention of it you felt your stomach tightening even more. "...I know he's going to be far away but at least when he was here, I knew where he was. Being hundreds of miles away he could escape, and I wouldn't know until, well, until he found me."

Steve's facial expression contorted into a slight frown as he took a seat in the chair next to you, his hands immediately encompassing yours as he squeezed them gently.

"He will not get away; do you hear me? Buck will be there, and hell would freeze over before he let that man escape. He won't even be able to so much as blink without him knowing about it."

You knew his words were supposed to comfort you but knowing that Bucky was going to be anywhere near him again made you feel sick to the stomach. He wanted to make sure he got to where he needed to be but that didn't make you feel any better about the situation.

"Steve..." There was a tremble in your voice as the emotional battle inside of you started to spill out. Your grip on his hands tightened as though your sanity depended on holding onto him. "...wh-when will all this be over?"

It was impossible to stop the tears now but before a single one trailed down your cheek you found your face buried in the super soldier's firm chest as he pulled you into an almost crushing hug. His own heart seemed to beat just as fast as yours, his breathing off its usual rhythm, it was breaking him seeing you in such distress, but your own emotions were too heightened to notice.

"Just let it out [y/n], I'm here, it's okay."

The words Sam had spoken to him in the gym a few weeks back played out in his mind as he felt you heaving with your sobs.

“You know, for a super soldier you are SUPER stupid.”…

…”Just tell her.”….

He shook his head almost violently to get the words out of his mind, wishing that they had never been spoken in the first place, he hated that he would never be able to have you in the way that he wanted but having the odd moment alone with you was all he needed….making sure you knew you were loved and looked after was all he needed….Sam’s idea would just have to be erased completely.

His lips pressed down onto the top of your head, a hand travelling up into your hair, as a single tear fell from his own eye.

“You’re safe with me and you always will be.”

                                       * * * * * * * * * *

If looks could kill Josh would have been dead ten times over with the stare he was currently receiving from Bucky. They were sat at opposite sides of the van to each other with guards on both sides and despite still being within arm’s reach the little cretin still wasn’t as close as Bucky wanted him to be….he wanted to feel his neck crushing underneath his fingertips; wanted to see the life escape his eyes, the least he deserved after everything he did to you was to die solely and painfully at the hands of the men who truly loved you.

Anyone else would have been scared out of their very pants if they’d had an ex-assassin staring at them in such a way, especially one that had murdered hundreds of people over the decades, but Josh didn’t so much as flinch. There was  twitch though, right in the corner of his lips, as they slowly contorted into a malicious smirk – even now, with nowhere to go except a cold dank cell for the rest of his life, he refused to show any kind of remorse for the things that he had done. If it wasn’t for the guards Bucky would have made sure he was incapable of showing that nasty little smirk of his.

“They really did a number on you didn’t they?” If he couldn’t do anything to him physically then he was at least going to try and get into his head. “They saw a pathetic piece of scum like you and used you without you even realising what they were doing.” Now it was Bucky’s turn to flash a wicked smirk. “Where are they now huh? Your new friends? Ah, yes, that’s right….they’re feeding you to the wolves because they have no more use for you.”

He leaned himself closer, clasping his hands together on top of his knees, the road grew a little bumpier and yet not even this caused his stature to falter. His eyes remained locked on Josh.

“They got you to do their dirty work and not only did you lose [y/n] but you lost your freedom too.”

It was only your name that gained any kind of reaction out of Josh, a sadness enveloping his eyes as he swallowed down hard at the lump that had formed in his throat. It was the only bit of emotion Bucky had ever seen in the man and it took him by surprise far more than he would have liked, lowering his defences ever s slightly, and it was in that very moment he witnessed just how quickly his emotions could switch as a more sinister look took over the sadness that had once been so evident.

“Oh I will never lose [y/n], trust me, I have taught her far more about this world than you and your pathetic superhero friends ever could and it won’t be long before she realises what side she needs to be on……” The van slowed to an unexpected stop causing the guards to look towards the front where the driver was. “….the side that always wins…..” His handcuffs fell to the floor with a loud thud reminiscing that of the moment an escapologist would succeed in his escape. “….the invincible villains.”

Before he, or any of the guards, could do anything to react a blinding white light incapacitated every one of them before a deafening explosion rang out around them, ripping the vehicle apart.

                                       * * * * * * * * * *

Your emotions had finally overcome you as the sun began to make it’s way into the sky. although he hadn’t fallen asleep himself he had stayed with you, his arms never once leaving you as he kept you wrapped inside a protective cocoon. His blue eyes watched closely as your chest rose and then gently fell back down again, making sure you were having the restful sleep you needed, having to fight hard to stop his feelings from growing.

When his own eyes started to surrender to the world of sleep your body shot upright as a horrified scream erupted from you. If the residents of Stark Tower hadn’t been awake already then they certainly were now as your scream continued on without you taking so much as a breath.

 Something was wrong.....something was really wrong.

[sturlsons]

hi, teesta. how are you? i'm looking for some advice. a few hours ago i broke up with my bf, we were together for 5 years. it wasn't ugly, just painful. we said our goodbyes and even wished me good luck (not in a bad way). my life (and his) will change completely from today on. i was too numb for a few hours to feel anything because i was in a weird stupor but now it's going away and i feel a bit lost. any advice on how to move on? anything is welcome. ty so much, i hope you're alright. much luv

oh my god, let me hug you. that must have been so fucking difficult and i’m proud of you both for making it through maturely and wishing well for each other. not everyone manages to do that. five years is a long time and i can definitely imagine how big of a change this will be for you.

i know how lost you must be feeling. it’s going to feel that way for a while, because there was this person who you were anchored to and who was anchored to you and suddenly there just...isn’t? it feels light, too light, like you have nothing holding you down from floating away. like, what am i supposed to do with my time now? you mean i can just...go anywhere, do anything, whatever i want? that doesn’t sound as good as it did in theory. i get it. i really do. 

i think practically speaking the first order of things is changing your environment. even if you can’t just take a weekend off and go somewhere else that is physically different, you can take steps to change your surroundings. pack away the things that remind you of your time together - maybe keep something symbolic? (i always keep necklaces from all my relationships. i never put them on but they’re there in the box for me to look at now and then.) the rest, pack it up. not because you want to forget, but because you know you won’t forget anyway, and for months every time you see that fridge magnet or that poster it’ll all come back. you don’t want to go through that additional pain - you want to make where you live a safe, calm place for you. if that means temporarily hiding all evidence that you were in a relationship, so be it. redecorate! get some movie posters or fanart prints, fill up that space - or leave it blank if you’d rather look at a clean slate. you don’t have to rush to fill in the spaces either.

just - take a few days for yourself. you deserve them. watch some movies or listen to some new music, or listen to the music you two loved together and cry it out. that’s fine. i think what’s important to understand here - on a practical level, again - is that whatever you do in these days will permanently be coloured in this period of your life and the emotions you were feeling. there’s this tiny subway in my city, near the center right - so tiny it’s just the sandwich bar and three tables. with my boyfriend we jokingly call it the Cursed Subway, but in reality i can never go there again because it was where i ultimately separated ways with who was back then the most important person in my life. there’s songs i can’t listen to, clothes i can’t wear, things i can’t eat. (thanks for ruining pepper sauce for me forever, ex number 4.) you will have those things too - so just look out for yourself, even if it feels selfish, and engage in things that you won’t mind never being able to engage in again. spend a weekend in an airbnb in your own city so that you don’t have to remember crying your eyes out in your bedroom. go for something you won’t have to sterilise later - you can just throw it away. 

i really wish i could be there with you in person right now, but i hope you’ll rely on your friends. that first party will be horrible. everyone’s trying to be nice but also trying to pretend nothing’s wrong for your benefit, you’re sitting there with a beer in your hand and you really just want to cry. it’ll get better, i promise it will. it always does. spend time with them, tell them explicitly what you need - want to talk about it? don’t want to talk about it? want to pretend it never even happened? that’s fine. they need to know how they can be there for you. you need to know what you need. take some time to figure that out for yourself. 

and, finally - just remember, this will pass. at one point that feeling of being weightless and lost will transform into this breath of fresh air. no matter how much you love a person, if things end between you - and amicably - there’s always a moment where you get to come back to yourself, realise why you guys did what you did, know it’s for the better, and be free. you don’t feel free, the first few days, weeks, months. then you feel free. it’s not easy. but it’s real, and raw, and good. 

i wish you all the best. 

[badbacksadsack]

I met a boy.

I’ve only been on one date with him but he scares me in the best of ways. He makes me feel things I’ve never felt before. I don’t know if it’s him or if it’s the fact I haven’t felt positive emotions towards a man for a very long time. It scares me that it feels so natural to open up to him even though all my past experiences mean my head is screaming at me to run away and hide. But being in his life makes me feel guilty, like I shouldn’t get too close to hurt him or let him down. When I want to let him in, my mind tells me I shouldn’t burden someone else with my problems. It seems as soon as I started uni in autumn I’ve been pretending to be this polished perfect version of myself. Wearing this happy mask is exhausting but I feel that everyone worries less about my wellbeing (in my worst depressive episode for years ironically). I’ve been carrying such a heavy weight in my chest that I haven’t been able to let go of since I left therapy and stopped being emotionally honest with myself and everyone around me. I’ve been feeling like a fraud, an imposter and like I don’t belong anywhere. But in his arms I felt more at home than I ever have, I felt safe. Protected. And that is terrifying. I’ve been looking out for myself for so long, having to defend myself from those closest to me at times that I’m not sure that I can ever fully trust anyone else to take care of me. I’ve let my guard down so many times and after my ex-BF and ex-BFF fucked, I told myself I’d always keep new friends at a distance until they prove worthy of trust, but I know that’s not how I love. I’m all or nothing. I want him all or I want nothing. I want him to consume every part of me. He ignites my soul. I want to warm him in my flames but I don’t want him to burn. He deserves to be happy but I’m scared that he won’t find happiness in me. How could he feel joy with someone who is so often sad. Before I met him I didn’t know how full my heart could feel; lately it’s become apparent that I’ve become accustomed to a hollow existence. My comfort zone is inevitably going to kill me but I feel so fragile and weak lately. I don’t know if my paper heart and flimsy self esteem can take another rejection right now. He seems different though. I don’t know what sets him apart but he makes my hands sweat, my heart race and my lips tingle. I want to be present and go with the flow and say everything that pops into my head but I don’t think I can face being my most authentic self and not being loved for it. My self worth really shouldn’t be in anyone else’s hands but how can I feel confident and secure in myself when all I’ve been doing lately is living a lie. I don’t have any of my shit together and I’ve been falling apart for months. Going through the motions of life. Meeting T was the best thing that’s happened to me in ages but with all my unstable thoughts and actions I feel like I’m ruining it before anything has even happened. I want to stop overthinking this whole situation but with my whole life unraveling all I can do is sit back and analyse all of my failures. I’m focused on my shortcomings and everyone else’s successes. I know I’m being irrational and he more than likely has skeletons in his closet too and I definitely don’t know enough about him so I’m idealising him. But I also have to consider, what if this situation isn’t good for me either? My life is nowhere near stable and I’m still learning to cope with my past, self image and so much other shit I have yet to figure out. I might need to give myself some space to be alone to and sort out my head before even thinking about dating because I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. But then why does my stomach ache even considering never seeing him again? I just wish I took my meds on time this week, because how can I trust myself and my perception of situations when I’m this emotionally scrambled.

Taeyong - Smut request drunk in lust ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) who

•Length: 1,663 words •Genre: Smutty •self-comment: IdK whY I WRIte such trash every time I Have to WRITEEE. Lol but I’m shameless and don’t care how tragic this may be I gOtta finish these request. 🤷🏾‍♀️I had to make her semi drunk and functioning so this wouldn’t be considered rape

•Scenario-Anonymous said: Can I get a Nct taeyong Smut where you’ve broken up and have another bf but one day you see him at a bar and your drunk and he shows you what ur missing 😉 TY!!xx

•story: It’s been one year since you broke up with your ex-boyfriend Taeyong. You remembered the great memories you guys shared together, but you also remembered the horrible fights you guys had that led up to your breakup. It was easy to say you two ended on bad terms, He hated you. “What’s wrong baby?” Your Ears Perked to the sound of your boyfriend approaching you. Turning around you were greeted by a warm smile. You wrapped your arms around his neck lightly pulling him in for a light kiss. “Jaehyun, I was just lonely. Nothing more,” you smiled. you felt guilty for lying to your boyfriend, but telling him that you were thinking about Taeyong would surely put worries and doubt in his mind, especially because They are close best friends. You cared about jaehyun and you’d never want to hurt him. Pulling away you walked into your room lightly closing the door. You were lost deep in your that you didn’t realize you were getting texts from your best friend Irene. Irene was there for you through tough times and she was one of the people you cherished the most. You glanced at the screen of your phone to your surprise you had several bold lettered text from her. 『COME OUT WITH MEEEEE~ LETTUCE GO TO THE CLUB. Like a GIRLS NIGHT OUT. Just you and me! 』 You were slightly hesitant to accept her request, but you needed something to take your mind off the minor burdens in your life. Deciding that you shouldn’t worry about anything you let her know that you’d go with her. Hours pass by and you meet up with Irene at a club that she picked but you’ve never heard of. “Are you excited!” She squealed “I’m ready to find myself cute guys!” Your eyes widened. “Why are you like this?” You giggled while you both entered the club. The interior was huge with dim colorful lights and loud blaring music. “Wow~” you gasped out “this place is amazing!” You sounded like a little kid who was being introduced to Disney world for the first time. Irene giggled pulling you to the dance floor. You lost yourself in the music dancing not caring about anything or anyone else. You thought you were just overreacting. You grabbed Irene and pulled her to the bar. “I’m gonna get wasted!” You said excitedly. Irene smiled and ordered the first set of drinks. Everything was all shits and giggles until suddenly Irene’s eyes widened and jaw dropped. “Shit! Don’t turn around.” You nervously giggled “Chill what can be so bad?” You said turning your head to see what she was worried about. Your body instantly started shaking when you saw Taeyong sitting at the other side of the bar. You felt your heart start beating faster as your body just went into a ‘Holy shit moment’ you had come to the club to get your mind off of him, and just to your dismay, he was sitting right there. You stared at him for long enough for him to notice and look at you dead in the eye. You turned your head at the speed of light back to Irene. “W-WHY IS THIS M-MY L L UC K.” You were stuttered disturbingly hard and Irene was truly worried. “We can leave if you-” you cut her off “NO! I came here to enjoy myself, and I need to learn to live with these type of situations,“ but your anxiety grew worse causing you to walk outside for fresh air. “Shit! Why me.” You yelled earning a few looks from other clubbers. “Why are you running away from me?” you looked up to see Taeyong with a slight smirk on his face you started shaking again not knowing what to do. You quickly placed yourself as far away from TaeYong as possible. “Stop trying to avoid me! You’re only making things harder on yourself.” Taeyong ran after you catching you and pinning you against the wall of the club. You frantically tried to look around. Anywhere, anywhere but his face. Looking down was the safest place you figured. “Do you miss me?” You didn’t reply even though you wanted to tell him a lot. “Answer me.” He said with a sterner more serious tone. “I have a boyfriend and you know that.” Taeyong stood quietly for a moment before snaking his hands down your sides stepping closer to you. “Well,” He started leaning his mouth to your ear “does he make you feel as good as I did?” You felt his hands touch the inside of your thighs earning a sharp gasp to escape your mouth. “I take that as a no.” He chuckled a little to himself. You were uncomfortable that all of this was happening in plain sight. “T-taeyong can we talk about this somewhere else.” You anxiously tried to walk back into the club but, Taeyong insisted that the both of you would go back to his apartment which was conveniently near the club. A little tipsy Taeyong helps you up the stairs to his apartment. You stumble inside kicking off your heels before turning back to look at Taeyong who was looking at you amusingly. “I’m gonna use the bathroom.” You quickly left the room after realizing the fucked up situation that had found you. Looking at yourself in the mirror you rinsed the sweat off your face. Everything was still slightly fuzzy from a number of shots you took. You left the bathroom to be greeted by Taeyong who pushed you against the wall again. “You don’t think our conversation was done right?” He growled lowly into your ear. You felt really hot and you couldn’t deny anymore that the feeling of Taeyong touching you was starting to turn you on in a way Jaehyun shamefully couldn’t. You let the alcohol take over your actions and your actions leaned in to kiss Taeyong. He swiftly swerved your actions pushing you harder into the wall. “Sweetie you never answered my question,” Taeyong put his thigh between your leg slightly pushing upwards creating friction on your core. You tried gyrating your hips, but to no avail, Taeyong held your hips down reducing movement. “Does Jaehyun touch you the way I did?” Devilishly his sharp teeth nibbled on your soft neck leaving violet bruises. “Taeyong please-” your breathless pleas fell on deaf ears. “Does he fuck you the way I do?” He picked up the pace quickly unzipping your dress and taking off your bra. You were fully exposed and you tried to cover your arms. “Don’t hide yourself from me baby.” He purred his voice was smooth like velvet. Taeyong took your arms placing them over your head admiring your beauty from beneath him. He trailed kisses down your body stopping and lightly sucking on your nipple, your moans became uncomfortably louder as he continued attacking your weak spot. “Does Jaehyun make you moan like this?” He looked up at you halting his actions. “I won’t continue without my answer.” The alcohol made you expose the truth to him. “no, he doesn’t.” You replied without really thinking. “Of course he doesn’t,” He scoffed. You felt yourself being lifted up with your legs dangling around his waist. He walked you down the silent halls gently placing you on his bed whilst taking off his shirt revealing his chocolate abs. Taeyong slowly climbed onto you straddling you, continuing his attach on your body. He kissed your body down to your core. His tongue started it’s twisted game, skillfully exploring each area. You arched your back lightly squeezing him between your thighs. “Taeyong please~,” you gasped placing your fingers through his cherry blossom hair. The pleasure continued building up as beads of sweat trickled down your skin. “Fuck taeyong,” your high pitch moan filled the room. You covered your mouth trying to repress your moans. Taeyong grabbed your hands pressing it to your sides “I want to hear you loud and clear. can you do that for me?” He reassured you continuing his sinful act. Your moaning became louder and higher. You tried grabbing everything to cope with intensity. He picked up the pace focusing on your clit. Your back arched as you felt all the build-up and tense feeling in your body break down. Taeyong continued causing your body to move erratically from overstimulation. “Please stop, it hurts.” Taeyong pulled away swiftly removing his pants and boxers. He placed your hands over your head placing his other hand on your hips quickly he positioned himself at your entrance, your eyes had to look down, you were so turned on by everything that was taking place. Seeing Tae inside you. Tae’s free hand grabbed your neck, roughly tilting your head back capturing your moan as he slid into you, roughly. Not giving you any time to get settled, he pounded himself into you, repeatedly. The previous orgasm helped to make taeyongs movements more pleasurable. Loud and helpless whimpers, moans frequently came out and became more high pitch with each thrust. “Tell me that you’re mine. All mine,” he growled into the air as your voice faltered to reply to his request. “Daddy please, I can’t do it anymore” “I don’t care! now, you are going to be a good girl and tell me” A loud cry left your lips as he continued pounding into you faster “Oh DADDY PLEASE, I NEED YOU.” your body stiffened and your hip buckling came to a halt as you felt your orgasm begin to consume your body for the second time that night. “Taeyong stop, it’s too much,” you pleaded as he kept pumping himself into you. With a few more forceful thrusts taeyong came himself falling beside you. “Damn baby” he groaned lightly turning to his stomach wrapping his arm around your waist peacefully closing his eyes. “Jaehyun definitely can’t fuck you like this.” He proudly stated before drifting off to sleep.

7am. Don't wanna exist at this hour but I do because the cat is awake. Fuck. Anyway, I watched a compilation of JennaMarbles and her bf, Julien being cuddly and mushy and like honestly ot just serves as an example of why gay people tend to avoid straight people. Because most of them aren't like those two. When you find a straight couple that genuinely love each other and just... Fuckin have a good time you tend to just become confused. Because it's weirdly common in straight culture to hate or be antagonistic towards your spouse and like...? Queer people don't really do that. Queer couples sometimes tease each other and argue, but that's normal and healthy but I so often see straight people together who just seem like they don't want to be together and are basically just waiting for another person to come along so they can jump ship, not even realizing that you can just like... Be single. And that you're not bad or wrong for it and are often much stronger for it. Queers are often forced into long periods of being single due to low dating pool or being in the closet and other factors as well. For example, I've only dated one person living in Evansville. And she pressured me into it. My only other ex lived and last I heard still does, in Mcleansboro, IL. I don't feel a romantic connection to damn near anyone here. And maybe I won't anywhere else but at least it won't be me falling non-stop for hetero women if I go to a bigger city. It hurts. Knowing that most people around you can just kind of date without worry. They can ask someone they're interested in out without expecting a volatile reaction. Rejection they may expect, sure. But that's not the same as expecting someone to just look at you and you can see in their eyes that they're disgusted by the thought of it, not because it's YOU but because of what's going on in your groin area. And... It just hurts.

When I started developing feelings for Sara, I did my best to hide it. And when I finally told her, I was too terrified to look her in the eyes. I didn't even say it out loud. I wrote it down. And I expected a rejection, which was what I got but I even went as far as to say "I know you don't feel the same but I gotta get this out." Hoping it would ease the tension. Because I knew she didn't. But I was HORRIFIED at the thought of how a straight person might respond to knowing that about me. And luckily, Sara is... Well, she's Sara. She didn't mind. She definitely confirmed that nothing would happen but... She also made sure to let me know when I asked if she was mad at me, that no, she wasn't. And that... She understood. I think it was a fair bit more tense at first, but over time I realized she didn't hate me for it. And at times, she even told me she understood that I couldn't change it. And honest that was probably one of the best things she did for me. Out of everything, rejecting me with kindness while still showing genuine affection afterwards was the most healing act for me. I was terrified she'd hate me. My mind kept insisting that she was gonna tell me not to come back and that she felt uncomfortable with continuing to see me as a patient. That she was gonna hate me forever. That'd I'd lose a friend. It scared me so badly I didn't tell her for nearly two years. She was important to me and... Being hurt by her in the way some straight women react to that would have destroyed me. But with time, I guess I realized she wasn't like those people. And that she wasn't going to hurt me if she could help it.

Idk. It was probably the first time I truly trusted someone. Even a little bit. Like as in put my full faith in them, even if I was hesitant and terrified.

I'd given small trusts to others but had backups in case. But... This was the first time I had an active choice in the matter and willingly trusted someone with information that could easily be used against me in a way I gave a shit about. And... In that reaction, she gave me the peace I'd never felt before. The peace of mind I'd never experienced in my life. The peace of knowing someone out there truly cares about you and won't just vehemently reject you for being who you are.

And though I no longer feel that way about her, I still remember the way she reacted and how that shifted things for me. And that she never gave up on me. Maybe she had moments of doubt, idk. But if she did, she hid them well and she didn't stop doing what she was doing.

She... She was a good friend. And idk. No matter what happens from here on out, I will always look back at her memory with fondness and... Like she was my mother. She took on the responsibilities of that role a lot. And idk. I just really appreciate it.

Don’t let me down

Not sure why I laughed so hard at this GIF, but it doesn’t take too much to amuse me. Figured I would break the ice before I continued (hahaha... ice + penguins.... Okay I’m done.) 

(I want to make a quick comment before I begin this one... Okay, so sometimes when I write, things seem clear in my head but they may not be to you. SO. If you backtrack to my post about my mom, when I said my ex had compared me to her- that was not “J”- it was my bf before him. That would’ve been really ironic though, right? Ha. Anywayyyys)

We’re almost through the really bad stuff, I promise. Thanks for sticking with me this far. My last post was almost as hard to write as I’m sure it was for most of you to read.

12/10/2017 was easily one of the worst days of my life. I was numb. I couldn’t think or I wouldn’t of made it. When I was about 15 minutes from my Dads I had received a phone call from “J’s” sister. She had asked me what was wrong with him (his odd behavior) but I really was no help. Guilt. I had failed him once again. I couldn’t answer because I didn’t know. I couldn’t answer because right now I couldn’t worry about anyone except myself.  Immediately after I hung up I received a text message from a friend wishing me luck and that they hoped I got the help I needed. REALLY? I had JUST crossed the state line and my ex’s brother had thought it was his place to tell others. I thought at that moment that I would never be more angry in my life (silly me, you’ll see later). That was exactly the LAST thing I needed to worry about at that moment. You’ve read my prior posts. You read why I didn’t tell anyone myself. Just hours before that I had been teetering off the edge of the cliff and the slightest bit of wind could’ve knocked me off. We’re just going to chalk it up to the fact that people don’t K N O W or T H I N K. This is what I’m trying to get at. YOU don’t know what state of mind anyone is in at any given moment, whether it has to do with addiction or not. Please, please, pleaseee stop and think of how your words and actions can effect others. WORD OF ADVICE: If someone is going through active addiction or is in recovery - IT IS NOT YOUR PLACE TO TELL OTHERS!!!!!!! You are NOT helping. Remember how I emphasized my loneliness because I felt like I couldn’t turn to anyone else? The only person now that I could go to with this, the only person now that I wanted to tell, was my Dad. I had my reasons for not telling him through the phone the night before. However, I had bigger fish to worry about. By the time I reached my Dads the first symptoms of withdrawal had already started. I remember when I first got there I couldn’t seem to get my legs to move to get out of the car. Panic had set in. How do I tell someone this? How do I tell my Dad this? I was so ashamed and so scared that when he opened my car door I opened my mouth ready to tell him but all I could do is cry. He brought me inside and we sat down. How quickly would it be before I REALLY started feeling the withdrawal? What was he going to think? What if he gets mad. I’ve let him down. I had to get it out. I had to tell him. But I couldn’t. The words that would come out of my mouth were just beating around the bush. How do you look into the eyes of the person who means the most to you and tell them what an awful thing you had done and that you needed help? I couldn’t look at him. Bless my Dad, because if I was ever in his position I feel like I may not of handled anywhere near as well as he did. Finally, the words came out. This is not how I wanted it to go. I wanted to be able to explain. Really though, there’s no good way to admit to your Dad that for the past two years you’ve been addicted to heroin and that your body was going into withdrawal and that you needed him to help you SOMEHOW, NOW. 

I was finally going to get help. I was finally able to tell someone. I was finally not all alone. Remember how hard it was for me just to get to THIS point? My Dad & I both immediately got on our phones. Looking for a rehab or detox facility. I remember laying on the floor while my Dad called place after place.  Problem #1 : I had chosen to do this on a Sunday (I know silly me, what was I thinking) So all of those 24/7 things you hear about alllllll the time- are BS. Monday- Friday or Monday- Saturday at most. A lot of places were closed. How? Beats me. Shouldn’t this be a 24/7 thing? Hmmm.  Problem #2: I had no insurance. I had no money.  Problem #3: I was not a resident of IN. So, every place we were able to actually reach someone at would turn me away for either both or one or the other. Two places I could’ve went to: 1) They required $3,000 up front. My total stay would’ve been somewhere around $25,000. No, no typos you read that right. Cool, cross that one off. 2) They stuck you in a room for 3 days, and on the third day they made you get up, do chores, and go look for a job. My dad hung up on that place. (Thanks Dad, really)

I was out of options. I didn’t know what to do. Did I make the right choice? I was beginning to feel so awful. I should’ve stayed there. No, that wasn’t possible. Why did “J” say I was going to be okay when I wasn’t? He lied. I couldn’t go into withdrawal. I was in full panic but I managed to hold on. The idea arose to go to the hospital. Maybe they could help me? You see the thing with me is when I was in withdrawal I would get really bad chest pains. It literally felt like someone was squeezing the life out of me. That was my worst symptom (it’s different for everyone). (I had only experienced these chest pains a few times before but it was never for long and it was one reason that held me back from wanting to stop using) I was desperate for it to stop and I knew it would only get worse. (When I said before that people would rather D I E than detox, especially with no medical help, it’s no lie. People who have went through detox them self that are reading this will understand. It is the worst feeling in the world. So bad that yes, death can seem like a better alternative.) So the hospital it is. I had googled if hospitals would help in such a case prior to leaving and I read a lot of negative comments about how they’ll just turn you away and won’t do a thing - but I could only hope for the best. What other choice did I have? I was sinking again but thankfully I had someone willing to help me. That would lighten this load just a little bit for me. That was willing to help pull me up out of this hole and ask questions later. I was no longer alone. 

to be continued.

[ellipses-dots-blog]

I know Im dramatic and I don't expect anyone to read all of this but lately I've just been so uninspired and lethargic. I was in such a good place in my life last year and now I'm kinda just at a stump. I've also been getting anxiety and I haven't in while so yay. 🙄 but anywho, like I said I've been really uninspired, and I've been wanting to literally change everything. And because of that, I've been really indecisive. I have just been complete want to redo myself. Just as a person. Redo everything. I've wanted to be in a happier place. and since I haven't been, I figured, change everything, meaning changing not being happy, which means being happy. And like I want to redo my look 100%. To hopefully help me forget and block our the "bad parts" of my life. And I know that sounds really selfish for me to say, because there are people out there who have it so much worse than me. And I am definitely thankful that I am physically healthy and whatnot. But my anxiety has just been through the roof lately. And if something tiny -happy, sad, infuriating- happens I cry, but if something major happens, I don't do anything and just become a ball of emotions. And I've tried to force myself to cry because I don't want this to be major, but unfortunately it is major. And I think my combination of emotions just got like a million times worse when my dog got sick. That put me in a panick attack. And it showed my who I could rely on based off of who reached out and helped my mentality. And quite frankly, I know now he doesn't have anything major, but I'm still scared. And I'm also getting worried about high school even though that's like a year away and like if I'll be good enough for tennis tryouts but I also want to try out for cheer and dance cuz I also love those things too. But I also know colleges like sports better and I'm most likely not gonna make the cheer team for college and there's no dance team in college. And with my friend situation, I've rediscovered a lot of old friends, but because of all of my ex new friends, I now have a lot of trust issues. And I've always kind of had wariness cuz I've never had a solid best friend/ friend group for a long time but it's even worse now. And some people may be like "it's obvious ur the problem, if uve never had a true bf for a long time" but Like no! I've given everyone everything and my all and all my time into the friendship but they all keep stabbing my back with a chef knife for reasons I have no idea why and it hurts. That's all I have to say about that. And also, me wanting to change everything and being uninspired has also come from where I'm living. I know so so so many people living in la and whenever I'm in la or anywhere near it (or even just out of the desert) I get this home- ish giddy feeling that just makes me happy. And it really sucks to know that I won't live there for a long time because it's one of my absolute favorite places. No matter how many times I go. And I just want to be there and do whatever need in la for at least a week just love there for a week. And me wanting to change everything, continues on to my look. And I've always wanted to try colored contacts, but now more so than ever. I've also only had contacts, but now i really really want to try regular glasses. And I want to redo my wardrobe and get ride of everything I don't love anymore. I want to experiment with new looks and different style and see what I really love. Or that has the slightest negative connotation with it. And going with looks: makeup. I've wanted to try out new makeup lately and that's the only thing I've actually been motivated to do. But, I don't have new makeup, so I fortunately, the only thing I'm motivated to do, is something I don't have access to. And I really just want to be a different person. Someone that no one knows or has an expectation of. Someone no one has an idea of. Again going back to my anxiety, my idea of what I have to look like has been driving my life. And I feel that I have to look a certain way. Even tho society has been saying lately that everyone's beautiful and whatnot, I pressure myself into being perfect. With my grades, my physical shape, and my mentality. And when someone (including myself) tries to take that away and say one of those things aren't perfect, it hurts me more than a regular person. And I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to exercise not in a good way. And I'm also pretty sure I have ortherxia. And OCD. And all of them put together really sucks. And I know I haven't lived a 'normal' life. Some days I feel like my mind is going a million miles an hour. Other days, there's nothing for miles in my mind. Some days I feel I'm drowning. Other days, well. I'm going to face it. I always feel like I'm drowning. Lately I've really wanted to do something on my bucket list. Which is skydiving. I really want to do it because I feel it will make feel motivated and as if I can do anything. I also really just want to go on a drive. By myself. I just want to drive my self anywhere. Take random roads and just go somewhere. I'm excited for hs in the sense that, I'm ready to be able to start over and no one will really know me all that well. A fresh start. And I'm excited to be in a regular school and be with actual people. As much as I love homeschooling, I miss having friends I could talk to everyday. Quite frankly I don't care who's reading this. Because this is what I'm feeling right now. This is raw me. And I'm just so tired of lies. So. So. Sooo tired of them. And if uve made it this far, good for u. Because this is practically a novel.

Q & A

Favorite parts?

Food, bamboo forest, the stumbled-upon lantern festival in Hiroshima, cat cafe, yukata dress up, onsen, fushimi inari, giant carp flags, food! Seriously- the food in Japan is AMAZING! Not only are things super fresh and clean- but the standard of quality if so hight that it’s hard to find a bad meal. Plus I got lucky more than once and just happened to find some really good dishes.

Least favorite part?

Contiki logistics & Sickness. While getting sick is never fun, most of the issues I ran into seemed to be a result of going with Contiki. I did feel that the division of time was not communicated well in Tokyo especially in regards to the fish market- which was frustrating as it didn't seem to be the same as the online itinerary. And not being able to start our free day in Tokyo until 10/11 was very limiting in terms of what I could visit on that day. It was also frustrating that this Contiki had us signing up for excursions so far in advance (apparently this was usual for Japan but not for Contiki). I would have liked have had the option to bow out of the final meal, as I was getting a bit tired of the group by then, but I’d already paid for it… I also was not personally fond of the bar foods- too greasy.

How was it traveling with Contiki?

Above drawbacks aside, overall Contiki’s japan unlimited is a really good tour! The local guide while very nice was a bit hard to understand, but that's the luck of the draw. Some of the add-on experiences (dressing up in a Kimono) were really awesome, but some of the dinners had food that were of a quality that would have been great anywhere else, but was a little disappointing for japan.  If I could do it again I'd skip the sake factory tour- SUPER boring. Also all the hotels on this tour are super nice (especially the one in Takayama & Hakone), but if you aren't okay with the majority of your money going to accommodations, you may want to look at other tour companies.  It was different from other Contikis in that: you spend more time on trains than a bus, roommates are assigned and set for the entire trip, and there's little to no chance to do laundry. Ultimately I had an outstanding time, but the country was what MADE this trip, not traveling with contiki.

Why did you travel with Contiki? (as opposed to other tour companies or going solo?)

I knew I wanted to travel with a company because:

It means having someone else to handle the logistics of getting from A to B (I felt like I could handle this, especially in a country like japan where the transport is streamlined, but I just don’t like having to do so that much…)

I like having the historical/cultural context provided by group tours. 

Since this was my first time visiting I knew I wanted to be able to see and do as much as possible, and I feel like group tours are really good at giving someone a sort of sample platter of visiting.

As far as choosing which tour company:

First thing I did was look at which tours were a) at least roughly in my budget, and b) when to the main places I felt like I HAD to see when visiting. The second thing I looked at was dates, and as it happened, Contiki was the only company that had tour dates which allowed me to maximise my vation time; ie add another four days at the end of the tour, as opposed to having to fly straight back. That made the decision pretty easy.

Dates aside though, I did consider a number of travel companies for this trip, and in the process of doing so I found a really great breakdown of some of the major tour companies by globotreks:

There’s also an article by Nomadic Mat which examines Contiki

Or check out my sister’s blog! She’s been to japan twice at the time of writing, once with EF, and once with her BF (sans a group). 

If I get to re-visit I think I would like to do so solo, or at least independent of a tour (though there are some day-tours that look really fun!).

Hotels/Hostels stayed at:

On tour: 

Tokyo- Hotel Grand Palace Tokyo

Hakone- Hakone Yunohana Onsen Hotel (Ryokan)

Takayama- Takayama Green Hotel (My favorite! Check out the onsen here!)

http://www.takayama-gh.com.e.sk.hp.transer.com/spa/index.html

Hiroshima- Hotel New Hiroden (The cheapest hotel on the tour, still 3 stars)

Kyoto- New Miyako Hotel

Wakayama- Henjoko in Wakayama

Osaka- Hotel Monterey Grasmere

Solo:

Kyoto- Mosaic Hostel Kyoto.

Very nice capsule-style hostel. Good location, but if you’re booking the women-only dorm be aware that unlike the large group dorm the luggage area is inside the room.

Osaka- Guesthouse U-En

The hostel itself was nice, but I was a little disappointed by the location on two fronts. A) It was a just far enough from the main sights to be annoying, B) but I booked this hostel KNOWING it was away from the sites because reviews said it was quieter- only to find out it was on a bar-street. It still wasn’t too loud, but there was still a fair amount of street noise at 1am, and the window for my bed was RIGHT next to a street-light.

Things I wish I’d packed

Travel tissues x 2 - I actually had a pack of these, I just used them up early into the trip...

Any just in case medicines you prefer/are likely to need- for example, I have sinus issue a lot, so I need to just start bringing packs of sudafed. I don’t always need it, but if I do, and don’t have it the cost and time it takes to try and find the local equivalent is a pain. (Maybe for you it’s an allergy medication, or a headache medication that you wouldn’t want to be caught without). That said- when packing always check to see if the medication you’re bringing to a country is legal there. If you’re not sure/if it doesn’t say it is illegal, most customs likely won’t care if it’s only a small just-in-case dosage, i.e. don’t bring more that you need and/or are willing to throw away.

A small thing of disinfectant/Neosporin

About 1.5 less the amount of clothing I packed.

Thing I packed I was glad I had

A carry-on sized collapsible duffle is one of the best things ever, especially for a location where you know you’re going to shop!

App-shout out

Kyoto rail app- as mentioned I had a really hard time finding a good map of the rail system in Kyoto. This one did a great job- absolutely worth the $5.

Regional highlights:

Tokyo- Cat cafes (while not necessarily better in Tokyo, due to the size and nature of the city this was where I found the most of them), Meiji Jingu Shrine, Nakamise street

Hakone - Onsen, Ryokan, Mt. Fuji (though not necessarily the Fuji visitor center), Matsumoto castle

Takayma- Onsen, Hida No Sato, old town area, Hida milk.

Hiroshima- Miyajima Island

Kyoto- Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion, Nijo Castle, Philosophy Path, Daigo-ji (Or really any other out of the way shrine/temple), Yukata dress-up

Osaka- Dotonbori, Melon bread (with ice cream)

Arashiyama- Bamboo forest, Yukata dress-up, overall area

Nara- Todaiji temple, Kasuga tausha shrine, deer

Coolest thing I found and couldn’t get a pic of:

It’s a tie between that one really awesome Geish shot I missed, and an interesting quirk of the hotel bathrooms; the mirrors had had something done to them where one spot didn’t fog over, staying clear even during the steamiest showers. Trying to get a pic just made my camera fog up.

Things I wanted to do (but missed), or would like to do next time:

Tokyo disneysea!

Spa world, Osaka, a really neat onsen complex that’s themed with onsen from around the world.  

Hokkaido prefecture (famous for lavender, ice cream, and snow festivals)

Gihbli museum &/or clock

Nikko national park

Visit a kit-kat shop so I can find/see as many of the different flavors as possible

Visit a Tea shop (I so forgot to do this!)

Gotokuji (the Cat shrine)

Dress up in a Meiji-era Hakama outfit

A Food Market- such as Nishiki market, or Kuromon Market.

Visit an aspect of culture museum, ex: swords or bonsai

Tokyo sky tree shopping (didn’t have much chance to check out the various shops- including a whole food hall!)

The Hokone open air museum (I’m not sure how good this is, but I’ve seen pictures that make me curious)

Ginkaku-ji (the silver pavilion)

Japan’s Cat island

Walk along the Nakasendo trail (or another long trail/hike)

A japanese style garden, I saw a few but they were all attached to temples, and not specifically something I could walk through, or had much time to visit.

Attend a Tea ceremony

Visit Minoo Park, Osaka

Ride the Wakayama Electric Railway’s cat train, and see it’s station master.

Visit Hitachi Seaside Park and see the flowers

Check out Mori style clothing

See the buildings of historic shirakawago

Eat all the Ice cream flavors

Visit on of the smaller Islands, or one of the areas with more of an ‘island’ culture- ex okinawa

Take time to really check out a food hall or depachika.

Eat at a Dessert buffet

Attend a (summer(?)) festival as manga/anime taught me to think of it- where there’s a bunch of people and different stalls set up at night, and most people are wearing yukata, prefrably with fireworks.

Experiance the little things that make each season so disctinct in Japan, Ex: the diffrent flowers, and foods.

...and there’s probably plenty more I don’t know about!

Where’d I learn stuff?

As mentioned I kinda ended up writing my own mini guidebook for this trip. While I’m not suggesting it’s sane enough for everyone do so, here are the two most useful sites I used should you be interested in doing research of your own:

Additional notes

It’s probably not a surprise that living (or at least visiting a location) overseas for an extended period of time is on my bucket-list. Japan is very much near to top of potential locations for such an endeavor. While it’s not a cheap country, it was less expensive that I feared (even with my shopping habit!), and there’s so much to see that I very much feel like I could easily spend a year exploring the country! Moreover, Japan’s reverent approach to the different seasons makes me feel like visiting in the summer would not be the same as visiting in the fall, adding an additional layer of experience to the location.

Hopefully I’ll have the chance to re-visit and confirm this idea for myself!
