Shadows and First Blood

“You want noise that answers when you touch it. You want hands that warm, not memories that flicker.” “You’re saying move on,” I said flatly. “I’m saying move,” he said. “On, through, toward, away—pick a preposition. Just don’t stay. You’re too alive to be good at statues.” A light in the back hummed like it agreed. A book fell—soft, like a nod. I reached for anger because it’s easier to carry than gratitude. “Easy for you to say,” I muttered. “You don’t have to live with what’s left.”

Then he looked back at me, "Oh." I chuckled, "Yeah." "F. Scott Fitzgerald." He started walking, "Very beautiful quote, that is." "I didn't think you'd know that it was from him." I walked beside him. "Are you secretly a lover of literature, Dean Ryan?" "Not really." He chuckled softly. "I just know a couple quotes." "Wow." I smiled. "Like?" "Um," He thought. "You can't blame gravity for falling in love." "Albert Einstein." I said and he nodded. "I'm impressed."

Eternal Embers

“I don’t know who wants to meet me here.” Alexander stepped closer, concern softening his features. “Do you think someone’s playing a prank?” She shrugged, uneasy. “I don’t know. But the note said ‘Trust only the art.’” He glanced at her sketches, propped against the parapet. The architectural arches and lantern lit doorways seemed to beckon. “Claude Monet said, ‘Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.’ Maybe the sender means you should follow your instincts?”

A Whisper of Endless Desires

A Whisper of Endless Desires

I smiled wryly as he quoted my description of his work, as I added, "If done correctly, subtle tactics can add an almost subliminal theme to the art. It's rare to find an artist who is talented enough to pull it off, though." The rest of the group laughed nervously, thinking that I was questioning his ability. But Andrew smirked at my compliment, knowing how his work had affected me. As the conversation continued, my girlfriend became more bored and less capable of adding to the conversation. More than once she hinted at wanting to leave. She wouldn't say this out loud and wanted me to say something so she wouldn't seem like she wanted to leave. But I was having a good time and enjoying the

Midnight Smiles

Midnight Smiles

She won’t ask me not to show up again, will she? "Sometimes tears can ease the pain in one's heart... This phrase is from "Who Killed Midnight", isn't it?" Even though she had calmed down, the redness surfaced on her face again from embarrassment. Only after hearing the young man use another phrase from that book did she remember where the first one was from. Jake wanted to slap himself. JUST QUIT MUTTERING BOOK QUOTES, YOU WEIRDO!! She will find out this way. But he couldn’t deny it. The question was more of a rhetorical one. It would be useless to deny anything.

To The Moon And Back

"A person will never learn without the help of others whether it is good or bad. You might have learned how to forgive before you learned of revenge, but you be reminded that you have learned to love yourself later than yoh have learned to love and live for others." I lowered my gaze and stared at my feet which is being caressed by the water as the sand beneath them tickles my toes. "An art is not an art without a story," I mumbled under my breath. "That's right, darling," She said as she nods. "Learn from life and from your mistakes, then apply it on how you want to live. It doesn't matter of people won't like you as you because what you project is an art that only few can fully understand.

They flicker for a second, a little sign that he's happy about my purchase. "Deal. I'll have them sent to your address." "Thank you." "You're interested in my latte art? You already have her paintings." "It's different." "Deal." I stare at the painting on my phone again. On the right lower corner are words in black, "You're the arrow that pierces my heart, the stone that breaks my soul."

the tattoo artist said as he smiled down at Ashley as she seemed to calm down at the sight of his smile. "Uh, I wanted," she paused as she remembered a quote that her father had told her which she would never forget, "If the ocean can calm itself, so can you. We are both salt water mixed with air," she said as everyone in the room smiled, "That was deep," the tattoo artist said as Ashely shrugged her shoulders," My dad loves the water and air so," she said as the tattoo artist smiled.

My Ex Wants Me Back, No Way!

My Ex Wants Me Back, No Way!

I don’t want to be my painting to be the cause of people not liking my art. “You’re thinking too much again,” Pierre’s voice cut through my anxiety, his tone a mix of frustration and affection. The suddenness of his words made me flinch, and I bit my lower lip, feeling a pang of guilt. It was clear he could see through my overthinking. “Just draw what you feel right now. Everything you put there is art. Whoever says otherwise is living a dull life,” he sincerely told me. His words touched something deep inside me, lighting a spark of inspiration. The doubts I had started to disappear

Frequently Asked Questions

Reading 'The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck' felt like a slap in the face—in the best way possible. It’s not your typical self-help book that sugarcoats life. Instead, it dives straight into the messy reality of how we waste energy caring about trivial things. One big takeaway? Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. The book argues that we often amplify our misery by fixating on things we can’t control, like others’ opinions or unrealistic societal standards. Instead, it pushes you to choose what truly matters to you and pour your energy there.

Another lesson that stuck with me is the idea of 'responsible ownership.' It’s not about blaming yourself for everything but recognizing that even in bad situations, you have agency. The book uses dark humor and blunt truths to drive home points like 'You’re not special' (in a good way—it liberates you from the pressure of being extraordinary). It’s a refreshing antidote to the positivity-obsessed culture that tells us to just 'think happy thoughts.'
