Sometimes, survival depends on not being seen.I should know. That's the only way I've survived. Getting accepted into a prestigious university was my chance at freedom; to escape and live without fear and resentment.And with no emotional attachments--or at least that was the plan.Until I see Egan.He's sexy, mysterious, and has muscles in all the right places. He invokes feelings I don't want or understand.The more he shows up, the harder of a time I have remembering why staying away from him was a good idea. But he brings deep, dark secrets that alter my entire world.Monsters exist. Witches cast spells. And animals may be human after all.I either embrace fate and enter a strange new world full of risks like never before or walk away.Maybe, I'm destined for heartache because sometimes, love isn't worth what it costs to fall.

É possível conviver com tragédias ? Pessoas normais tornam-se psicopatas na intimidade ? Qual relação existe entre os mundos imaginado, desejado e vivido ? Este é um livro de contos curtos sobre pessoas em seu limite, suas atitudes como reflexo de um mundo interior caótico e um mundo exterior que inviabiliza a vida e que, para ser vivido, tem que ser aumentado pela imaginação.Uma caminhada sobre folhas secas, um pequeno transtorno, um ponto de vista inesperado, uma tragédia, sentimentos de covardia, vidas vividas por obrigação misturam-se à cultura da sede produzindo fantasias, à vida que surge da solidão de indivíduos e grupos, ao cotidiano destruído após eventos trágicos, às geometrias de objetos induzindo comportamentos, à violência transitando os inconscientes e produzindo atitudes psicóticas, à adolescentes se recusando a falar, à seres humanos com próteses neuronais intensificando sentidos.Enfim, imagem e realidade entrelaçando mundos distintos são alguns dos cenários destas histórias imersas em um ambiente urbano estranho, às vezes hostil outras vezes fantástico

Sinopse: O Conto narcísico é uma recuperação satírica sobre nossas sociedades e indivíduos modernos, ultra organizados, hierarquizados, disciplinados, atualizados, informados e globalizados. Ou não! Talvez todas as sociedades contenham algumas características ou conteúdo da personagem da estória ou histórias. Vale dizer que o Conto narcísico não é apropriado para pessoas exageradamente normais, e sim para os anormais. Já que os normais podem sentir a princípio certo repúdio pela personagem ou até antagonicamente ou paradoxalmente se verem nela. Quem sabe se identificarem?! E é evidente que isso não é ou será nada bom. Já as pessoas anormais irão apenas se deliciar e refletir em um cenário com algumas situações rotineiras da vida cotidiana, e outras talvez não, quem sabe? Isso nas relações com pessoas, grupos ou povos narcisistas. Desse modo, o conto narcísico não ecoa ou faz ressonância apenas a ou com indivíduos, mas também pode abarcar grupos, cidades, regiões, sociedades, países etc. Portanto, o conto narcísico é uma reflexão cômica e satírica de muita coisa que a gente vive, convive, altura e experiência no cotidiano, de modo escancarado ou velado em vidas que às vezes nos causam diversas e grandes angústias. Onde podemos ser os réus ou autores, culpados ou inocentes, vítimas ou transgressores. Quem poderá dizer? Vai que o conto narcísico seja um reflexo das nossas próprias vidas. E isso como já avisado, não é ou seria nada bom. Mas quem sabe ainda haja recuperação!? Sendo assim, este livreto não é muito recomendado para os sãos, e sim para os loucos. Já que os sãos podem não compreender os fatos, confundi-los e logo se irritarem. Já os loucos vão se regozijar ao verem em linhas cômicas muita coisa do cotidiano da vida moderna, organizada, hierarquizada, disciplinada, egocêntrica e globalizada. Caso se enquadrem, busquem ajuda. Espero que apreciem essa sátira repleta de ironias, sarcasmos e realidades! Quem sabe este livro possa vir a ajudar muitas pessoas a analisarem as suas 'realidades, ' e assim a evitarem muitos problemas?!Sendo assim, convido-lhes a fazer uma visita ao cotidiano de Jenisvaldo, Lindalva, Sr. Roberval e o Gato. Sim, o gato!Logo, não se deixe levar apenas pelas apresentações e representações aparentes, mergulhe fundo nas dimensões e camadas metafóricas, analógicas e alegóricas que os conteúdos podem te proporcionar, levar e fazer viajar reflexivamente e criticamente. Tudo dependerá de você! Portanto, não se engane e nem se iluda com o "conteúdo dado gratuitamente."Saudações!

175 comics and over 300 famous quotes mix fun relatability with the serious underlying science to give a clearer understanding of how and why tension is triggered, experienced, and resolved. The first new understanding for most people is that tension happens alongside pleasure (as excitement, anticipation, and desire) as much as it happens alongside pain (as lack, fear, hunger, anger, awkwardness, obligation, and heartbreak). The second is that momentary tension happens because of a present trigger, while persistent tension (anxiety) happens because of an internally maintained trigger. By following the guided immersion in the high and low ends of your individual tension spectrums, you can better understand your options for generating the tension that feel good and minimizing the tensions that feel bad. On the science side this book proposes that the Limbic System (in the brain) acts like a subjective, emotional sense organ. It shows what life is like at the high and low ends of the seven basic tension spectrums so you can be less easily triggered by other people, because you'll more accurately recognize their tensions as being unrelated to you and the things you care about. This book doesn't pretend that you can become happy-all-the-time. You'll feel tension again soon. But you can have a plan and develop habits that reduce the frequency and severity of negative triggers, and increase the frequency and severity of loving, enthusiastic, hopeful, joyful triggers. The book is called The Next Three Traits because it ties the information up in a quick three-letter shorthand (RCS, SCR, CSR, RSC, SRC, or CRS) that makes it easier to discuss tension stacking with other people. A person's three letter Limbic profile can stand alone as its own personality type ("I'm SCR"), knowing that it's only the tension parts of someone's psychology. Or, it can be added as the next three traits to Myers-Briggs (ENTJ RSC), Enneagram (CSR-8), Five Factor Model, Love Languages, Astrology ("I'm an SCR Taurus"), or any other classification system. This adds scientific rigor to those systems and helps separate Limbic influences from the other aspects of personality that each system is already measuring.

Poetry, as an artform, is meant to be a reflection of humanity. The simple, challenging, nuanced, and even the unifying. When people read a collection of poems, it goes without saying that they want to see themselves reflected in it. Through his poetry collection Other Side of Sea, Xiaoqiu Qiu proves himself to be a poet whose talent is no exception to those provisions. The poems in this collection display such a deep understanding of the human condition, that it's impossible to not be impressed by its sheer depth, honesty, and compassion. Poems like "First Date" details the tender desire for a romantic connection between two people. Whereas "Birthday Alone" talks about the existential unease people feel in regards to aging and growing older. Xiaoqiu even writes eloquently about the mental ramifications the COVID pandemic has had on long distance friendships like in "Purpose of Visit." Furthermore, these poems also show his uncanny ability to mold and shift formatting into something cultural and revolutionary. Other Side of Sea has proven Xiaoqiu Qiu to be a formidable, graceful, and commanding new voice in poetry.
