《How To: Survive Teenagehood》50/ Hey I Just Met You... And This Is Crazy
Advertisement
So here's my number. Call me maybe.
What a catchy song.
And also very relevant to the subject of this chapter which is all about not falling madly in love the minute you meet people.
Trust me, I've been there hundreds of times. I meet someone new and within a day of meeting them I'm picturing a future together with them. And so therefore by the law of the universe nothing ever happens with this person and I'm left far more devastated than if I had just kept a rational brain.
My number rule of falling deeply into a crush for someone is to actually speak to them and get to know them before you fall head over heels. Sometimes getting to know someone breaks that fantasy of them, and you can see them as an actual human being. Whatever the case, fantasying over someone who doesn't even know you like will only end in heartache.
BUT I CAN'T CONTROL WHO I LOVE, I hear you lovesick fools yell.
But is it really love? Or merely an infatuation which you've intensified in your brain by thinking of potential scenarios?
The moral of this chapter is to stop fantasying about life rather than live in it. I know I've wasted years fawning over people who didn't even know I existed. Start looking around at the people you know, and who knows, maybe there's someone right in front of your eyes.
So rule fiftieth of surviving Teenagehood: he's just a stranger on the street, don't commit the next four years of your life to dreaming about him.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

The Titanic Fanatic
John Doe is a relatively intelligent high school junior. He is in all the super advanced classes, gets straight A's, and to top it off, he is pretty lazy as well. However, he is quite cocky about it and has the physical strength to back it up. Needless to say, he is the target of lots of jealousy in school. No one dares to bully him, because THAT is more or less a metaphorical death wish, but he is the center of lots of gossip and attention. He has a good life. Fortunately for John, his school is the largest in the world and so there were still many students who didn't know about him to annoy him. Unfortunately for John, he attracted the attention of a certain student who seems friendly enough but definitely has ulterior motives. This student will show John something that will change his life forever... **No, this is not a romance(yet at least) and the "certain student" is a guy lol so don't get any ideas** Author's Message: Hey, everyone. I was a big reader on RoyalRoadL for three years now, but I made an account recently because I felt like writing something. This story is based on Greek Mythology but I will make up and change a lot of it however I want(note the "based"). This is my first story and I am very busy(I'm a high school junior like John lol) so I will have lots of writer's block and erratic updates. Content Warning-Keeping those tags just in case as this probably won't be a baby friendly story(jk babies r kewl, just not here)-
