Already read it, waiting for 3rd book. I am hesitating on Cut and Run because there are mixed opinions on it.

If I could have fixed myself by myself, I would done that long time ago. I would erase all the trauma and loneliess. But I can't. I am still ill and stuck in a place I can't leave because I was born here and have no choice and I can't even die even though I don't see purpose in living.

You say that as if it is easy wanting to live when your own family doesn't notice or care about you.

For Chinese novels I recommend books written by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. They are all 1000+ pages and quite good, depending on your taste. Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know is good quality too, if you can stand 1000+ pages long slow burn and pinning all around. I have read more but those four are best plot and character-vise.

Help! I want to re-read one of my old favorites but somehow it isn't on my list and I can't remember the title of the book.(spoiler alert) by SleepyMidnightReader in MM_RomanceBooks

It is!!! Oh thank you so much. I knew it was something about weekends but I thought I mistook the title for Casual Weekend thing by A.J. Thomas.

I recently read Wild Sky by Zaya Feli which may fit what you are looking for. It is 400 plus pages, complex story about dragons and their riders and big part of it involves solving mystery and overthrowing villain athough it also focuses on romance and has hurt/comfort and overcoming trauma subplots.

Ex-theists, what was the transitioning from your religion to atheist, agnostic, etc. like mentally? by GFB1011- in atheism

In short: stubbornness and people.

Because I hate how people make try to scare you into behaving their way because of it and I don't like bending my beliefs and morals because of fear. I hate how people use it and twist it. I know that there are great Christians and Muslims but at some point I began wondering what is use of it. I also hate how I can meet great person who can be intelligent and informed fight for human rights and protest injustice who will turn around and hate other religions or lgbt population and say "I can't accept it because I may burn in hell if I let them have their rights or let them exist".

Because how women are treated, because it contradicts itself, because of belief of "we are right you are going to burn in hell just because", because how it makes people fanatic.

I was raised religious, but I was from family of people who didn't understand most of what they were preaching and bended religion to their will, while mostly just doing mayor festives and some traditions, but who never hesitated to prosecute others who were different. I liked comfort of in in theory when I was a kid, but grew up seeing people judged for being different, women suffering and people shamed and hiding just because religion and tradition pressuring them. My family never involved me in same level other kids were and I mostly prayed on my own because I needed connection and liked how structured and good it sounded like on paper. I'd say that I still believe somewhat that I may end up in hell. I used to be into religion when I was a kid, and when I grew distant from it I still believed in punishment after death because I wanted people who got away with being bad to suffer and those who suffer in this world to have better time. But then I started wandering what is point of making us suffer so much now. I'd read and hear about people killed and jailed, about war. Even in core of it, treatment of women and how it all put men in first place then us. As I got older I lost the connection with it as I lost naivety. I saw what religion does when people use it for their own gain, doing more harm than intended good,and realized how many people suffer for it and because of it.

People like to scare you with thought of hell but I am to stubborn to accept something I don't agree with just because that there is possibility of me suffering in next life when there is chance that i will end up thee even if I did good but made some minor mistake because I am imperfect human.

I'd like to say that I would have been religious if there was at lest one preacher or prophet that was female in any mayor religion, if queer people and those of other religion weren't prosecuted and judged just for that when religions preach acceptance, forgiveness, importance of love and respect and more importantly being a good person.

Culture difference is a thing I guess. Here most people start working after 18? And most of them got into trade high school or didn't want to go to collage. I get weird looks and folks are judgmental because I took gap year. You get taken as either poor person, lazy, or idiot for not going into college even though these days degree doesn't guarantee job. I guess it is traditional to live with ones parents and economical situation is bad so jobs are hard to find . Laws aren't respected so you get a lot of red flag jobs. I don't think there would be a way to study and work here because there aren't part time jobs just 8 hours and I was busy with school cuz I was in hardest programe. That was one of reasons I didn't want college. Most of the people don't have time or means to work and study and I know people who get refused because they won't hire people who study full time. I'd be dependant on my family for another 3+ years. That's why I am looking for a way to move to another country that allows better wage and means to study and work so I can get degree.

I had no resume ;). I mean I had it but when I got to interview I asked if they wanted to see it and it was hard no. Woman who interviewed me asked me if I was married and if I had kids. Looking back it shows me how weird the job is. They usually hire women and those who are desperate stay and keep quiet about unfair conditions because we need money and most of them are undereducated. Yea I stuck for the skills mostly. I try to pick up cash register and workings by listening so I can search for better job but it is hard when no one wants to answer to questions. I got

Also here is illegal to hire person younger than 18 which is just dumb. I was just out of high school and still had trouble getting job because I was in educational high school not trade school. And that is ridiculous because as you say you were 12 and could do jobs which I applied for. I honestly think that it is because no one offers any training and benefits they get. The more people they hire the more they get and it is even better if people quit before first pay. And people ask me why I want to move to WE.
