STICK SEASON - NOAH KAHAN WRITING CHALLENGE MASTERLIST
------------------------
I had mixed feelings about lying in silence with my thoughts.
There were times when it would be great. A time to sort through any confusion or anger. I could find my way through all sorts of problems that way.
Other times were hell. When problem-solving became fixating and I found myself dwelling on mistakes I had made. I didn't have any power over whatever stress I had.
I heard my phone buzzing. It was a collection of texts. I didn't want to answer it. As much as I despised the silence at that moment, the idea of having to explain myself made me sick to my stomach.
My phone stopped for a little while. And then, I heard someone knocking on my door. I groaned a bit, running my hands over my face.
My phone buzzed a few moments later.
It didn't take much for me to realize the sounds were connected. I reached over and checked the message.
Arthur: I'm at your door. Let me in.
I unlocked my phone and looked over the texts that he had sent me.
It was a mix of questions about if I was okay and messages about how he was going to stop by. I knew why he was worried. I had ignored him through the end of the day. It was wrong, I knew that. I had just been so stuck in my thoughts that it didn't really click until I got home.
Another message came through and I finally relented, sighing and pushing myself off my bed.
I paused right by the door, handing resting on the doorknob for a moment before pulling the door open. Arthur paused whatever message he was frantically typing when he heard the door open.
"There you are," he said, stepping forward and hugging me.
I expected a thousand questions surrounding what had happened and why I ignored him. I was already preparing answers in my mind, hoping to avoid the additional stress in the long run.
But as I hugged him back, there was only one question, "Are you okay?"
I stepped back slowly, nodding to him.
He closed my front door as I walked over to my couch and sat down. He sat down next to me, frowning a bit at my silence.
"Do you want to talk about it," he asked. I shook my head. "Okay."
"Sorry," I muttered. I ran my hands over my face again. "It's just... it's been a long week. I needed time to myself. I thought I did... it didn't help much."
I always did that. Withdrew when I got overwhelmed. Part of why Arthur was my best friend was because he seemed to fight it. He got too worried to leave me on my own unless I asked. Even then he would send me messages to check in every couple of hours.
I remember my friends digging into that pattern. They would constantly say that there was so much more there than there was. Arthur was my friend. My best friend. And that was all there was to it.
And that was all I would tell them.
"Is there anything you need," Arthur asked. I shook my head. "Are you sure? I could make you something. Or just get some water-"
"Arthur," I touched his arm. "I'm alright."
He slowly nodded and relaxed a bit more.
I grinned a bit.
I wouldn't really mind having more with him. I had thought about it more than I would care to admit. It wouldn't be all that different. Just more affectionate. My skin would sometimes feel like it was begging for someone to just hold me. Having that be Arthur, someone that I knew and cared about, would be the best-case scenario.
Without much thought, I shifted so my head was resting on Arthur's shoulder. He reached out and touched my knee. Silent support when I needed it.
I'm not sure how long we sat there. I just knew the longer we did, the more certain I was that I didn't mind going through such rough moments if Arthur was waiting on the other side of them. I looked at the hand on my leg. I wanted to reach out and intertwine our fingers. I was just too scared to do it.
So, I forced myself to keep my hands in my lap. I picked at the skin around my nails instead of holding his hand like I wanted to.
"Thank you," I mumbled. "For showing up. You didn't have to do that."
"Yes, I did," he replied. I moved my head, so my chin was resting on his shoulder.
"Why?"
He hummed.
"Why did you have to?"
"Because I care about you," he answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I want to know that you're okay. Take care of you."
I grinned to myself.
I moved back a bit. I shifted enough that I could be face-to-face with him. He grinned at me softly. I took a moment to let my eyes bounce around his face; from eyes to cheekbones to nose to forehead to lips.
I took a deep breath before leaning forward and pressing my lips to his.
It was short and sweet and awkward. I started pulling back almost as soon as Arthur started kissing me back. He blinked at me slowly, seemingly stunned by what I had done. I bit back a chuckle at his expression.
"Woah," he muttered.
I couldn't hold back the chuckle at that one.
"Would it sound stupid to say that I've been waiting for years to do that," he asked.
I shook my head. "No... because I have been too."
He smiled at me before leaning over and kissing me again. I placed my hands on his shoulders as I kissed him back. It was like the air around us settled. I hadn't even noticed any tension or awkwardness, but I suddenly felt more relaxed. Like pieces of a puzzle were finally coming together to show the bigger picture.
I knew right then that I could spend forever like that. In that state of happiness. Of loving and being loved.
And I allowed myself to believe that Arthur thought that too.
Silence didn't need to be spent alone anymore.

leave a light on (english version)
by LaPetiteCeinture
"We broke up with Aidan" Deep, deaf silence. Lucas's stomach twitched. He lifted his chin, his gaze fixed on the barky trunk of the oak tree towering on the opposite side of the walkway. Until that moment, he hadn't thought it possible that someone could exude confidence and insecurity at the same time, but as he heard his own voice, he realized his mistake. "Can I come to your place?" He hesitated, but his lips moved forward again, so that his thoughts could not catch up with him. "I need you"
He had never said those words to anyone before.

Madison Watkins Restores Faith In Romance With New Single “Find You”
Tumblr media
Soulful pop artist Madison Watkins has released her latest single, “Find You,” a delicate and heartfelt ballad about looking ahead and trusting that she will eventually meet the person made for her. “Find You” is the second single the artist has released following the debut of her EP, Electric, which was released last year – chasing her single “Other Ones,” a soulful bop about infatuation and dealing with residual hurt. “Find You” is now available to stream and download on all digital platforms. Whimsical, dreamy, and hopeful, in “Find You,” Madison Watkins reassures herself and her listeners that the right person for them can be just around the corner, and they could enter their life when they least expect it. Blending the poignant emotionality of her distinctive soul sound with the catchiness and gripping nature of pop storytelling, “Find You” emerges as a daydream with a piano backdrop. “I wrote this song because all of my girlfriends are waiting on our future husbands,” explains Watkins. “I did it because I wanted to give us all hope, along with the rest of the world who may be looking for their future person.” Raw emotion is poured into a cinematic spectacle in the track’s reverberating, touching chorus. Voicing her feelings of trust that she will meet ‘the one,’ in the song, Watkins is committed to never settle for less than the man of her dreams, no matter what it takes. It is precisely through unleashing the daring, intense nature of her feelings, that romance in “Find You” is ever-expanding, bright, and heart-warming. Reassuring others about this deeply intimate experience, the track cements its relatability, an anthem for hopeless romantics whose trust in fate is unwavering. “Find You” was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Ben Samama (AFROJACK, James Arthur, Valerie Broussard) and Charlie Snyder (Bebe Rexha, Machine Gun Kelly). “Find You” perfectly sums up the mix of delicateness and passion of Madison Watkins’ music: conveying the intimacy of a conversation between girlfriends, never compromising the innate popstar glam that has accompanied her journey to date. A multifaceted, prolific artist and singer-songwriter, she naturally stands out through her bold personality, resolution, and grit. As her music consistently gains traction, Madison Watkins is always finding new stages and audiences to connect with, from performing at the World Series to having her music on CBS’s Love Island USA and Aussie’s #CurlMagic campaign to Meta’s VidCon Social Lounge, and the Recording Academy’s Positive Vibes Only video series. She has opened for a number of internationally renowned artists, including Elle King, Gwen Stefani, and Jason Derulo, and performed with Tori Kelly. Her drive extends beyond music into a large presence on social media, lifestyle, and beauty niches, collaborating with brands like Aussie, Puma, LG, Toyota, and Topo Chico. In “Find You,” Madison Watkins reclaims the power of being in love with the idea of love and reassures herself, as well as her listeners, that their person will be worth the wait, and eventually give them everything they have ever dreamed of. Download or stream the single now on all digital music platforms. Keep up with Watkins’ energetic, bubbly personality, and stay tuned for more music on her Instagram @Madison_Watkins. Read the full article

Canadians concerned for Americans who may lack abortion access in wake of top court ruling
Tumblr media
A U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn constitutional protections for abortion has left some Canadian observers concerned for those who will struggle to access services they may urgently need in the wake of the ruling.
The decision from the top U.S. court had been forecasted weeks ago, when a draft version was leaked to the media. But the ruling has set off so-called trigger laws in at least 13 states, banning or severely limiting access to abortion there.
The Rev. Pat Papadeas of Windsor believes the ruling will damage the poor and lead the United States astray. Even though the announcement was expected, Mohini Datta-Ray, executive director of Planned Parenthood Toronto, was disappointed.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the U.S. Supreme Court ruling as horrible, writing that his heart goes out to "American women who are today likely to lose their legal access to an abortion."
In a statement, Jagmeet Singh argued that the United States Supreme Court had "walked back women's rights" and he urged that "these damaging policies... must not take root in Canada."
Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis, a current Tory leadership contender with self-described "pro-life" views, drew a distinction between the two countries Friday, tweeting that "Canada is not the U.S." and that she believes Canadians can have "adult conversations" about abortion.
Abortion is decriminalized in Canada because of a 1988 Supreme Court decision. But no bill has ever been passed to enshrine access into law, and it's also not considered a constitutionally protected right under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Though the U.S. court's decision is sending "shock waves" across the world, the legal ability to have an abortion in Canada is not under threat, said Joyce Arthur, executive director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada.
Her group, though, is concerned about Americans travelling north for abortion treatment. It is urging federal and provincial governments to increase financing for clinics since "even a small number of Americans may overload our system," as Arthur puts it.
In Regina, Andra Broussard, executive director at the Options Pregnancy Centre, said Saskatchewan could see North Dakota residents cross the border to get abortions. 
In neighbouring Alberta, provincial NDP Leader Rachel Notley said the events unfolding in the United States were a reminder that "fundamental human rights" must never be taken for granted.
