Skip to download link The Saotome Gambit was the first fanfiction I ever read and till today remains the only fanfiction I’ve finished.

Swimming hard without a compass = Going very far to nowhere
This took me a bloody long time to understand. I’ll spare you the sob backstory about how life was dreary and I felt aimless and all that. Here’s the bottomline: If you feel aimless in life, without purpose, without direction, keep reading. The short version is this: Find out what you actually want for yourself. […]

COI JEWELRY REVIEW – DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

I even paid extra for FedEX shipping, which supposedly takes 2-3 days. 14 business days later, they said they would be delayed by another week due […]

Words for teenagers
I came across this picture from a friend who shared this on Facebook. I found it to be very apt, and amazingly it still applies to teenagers today despite the fact that it was written 55 years ago, way back in the year 1959. If you happen to know a teenager who can’t stop whining […]
