CHASING PERFECTION

AtarahT
Teenage Lily Bennett has one dream: to grow up fast. Not to escape her small town or ditch her responsibilities—but to finally be old enough to date the kind of guy she’s always fantasized about: a handsome, wealthy, perfect man who will sweep her off her feet, love her deeply, and give her the glamorous life she’s always imagined. But there’s a problem—she doesn't know where to find him. Her world is small, her connections are limited, and the people around her have no idea what she’s dreaming of. She’s stuck in a high school reality where everyone’s chasing after the same things—and none of them are the things she truly wants. Desperate to break free from her ordinary life, Lily begins crafting a plan to meet the kind of people she thinks can give her the perfect future. But as she steps into a world far beyond her reach, she quickly learns that the dream isn’t as flawless as it seems. The more she chases perfection, the more she realizes that love, self-worth, and happiness aren’t found in the fantasy she’s built in her mind. Will Lily find the love she’s always longed for? Or will she discover that the life she’s dreamed of isn’t what she truly needs? Chasing Perfection is a heartfelt coming-of-age story about longing, self-discovery, and realizing that sometimes, the perfect life is the one you least expect.

A Time of Tigers - From Peasant to Emperor

There is a sense for greatness. Some people carry it around like a bad smell. They make us stop on the street, and look their way, whether we wish to or not. Their appearance might be ordinary, but there’s something about them, something beyond the norm. Something that makes you almost wish to bend the knee to them. Our kings have likely had that something, those that came from nothing but ashes and ruin, in times of trouble and famine, where the hearts of the masses are restless, and they need a cause to bind to. What makes them choose one man over another? It is my contention that there is a true gravity to such individuals. That progress, or competence, or greatness itself carries a weight. That a man might grow greater in the dark, and whether he wishes it or not, by the sheer gravity of his existence, tigers will make their way towards his door, catching his scent in the wind. The tigers hide themselves in the forests, in villages unknown, amongst the peasantry, but sooner or later, it does seem, that they are always cast into the light. It requires an immense effort of will to keep them hidden. A man of such a gravity will see themselves risen, without will, to ranks beyond that of the norm – in times of peace, they might rise high indeed. But in times of chaos? When the world is in upheaval, when every piece in up in the air? Then a tiger from the most lowly of starts, with a competency – a density – beyond belief, as if they were a different creature entirely – they might go all the way. They might be the creature that – though a peasant themselves – the peasantry themselves kneel to. They might go further, and make the soldiery kneel, and then even the nobles after them. And a special class, beyond all others, might go even further still, and snatch a crown the head of a king, on a flurry of brilliant victories, on a story so overwhelming it almost might have seemed preordained. It is those men that we ought to fear, and it those men that we will eternally be at the mercy of. It is those men that we do the honour of addressing as our kings, and our emperors.
