Serious Relationship: The experience of attempts to build relationship with guys with varying success (The Unbearable Longing of the Flesh Book 2)

In the second part of the cycle "The Unbearable Longing of the Flesh" our heroine has already matured a little and is trying not to show her embarrassment noticing frank male looks, although her body is trembling while imagining the touch of an excited man.

She dates different partners, but at the same time dreams of finding a kind of man with whom it will be extremely exciting to spend time together.

“Sometimes I was thinking of myself as a defenseless lonely girl. In such a case any game that some man was trying to play with me, made me furious, and I was eager to protect myself at all costs... However, at another time, on the contrary, I was looking completely consciously for such an exciting and fascinating game with a man”.

She experiences ups and downs, a series of passionate dates, the hopeless boredom, endless merrymaking parties and the fear of loneliness.

SWORN Friendship in a Fragile World by Chris Southard and Peter Reed

Free for a Limited Time, 11/20/20 through 11/24/20. Click Now on the Cover Photo.

We live in a fragile world.

We wrote this book as inspirational comedy, but we’d be making a huge mistake if we didn’t address the underlying fragility of our world. Our environment, our political systems, our sense of community, and often even our personal relationships… they are all fragile!

You’re probably thinking, “What a downer!”

But here’s the caveat: while the world we live in is often fragile, God is not.

He invites us to have a Sworn friendship with him, and when we enter the fragile world with this Sworn covenant, we learn how to also develop Sworn friendships with those around us as well.

These are true, brotherly friendships that help us to heal our wounds and continually develop into people that can put more good into the world around them.

If you’re still reading, you’re probably thinking...

What is “Sworn friendship,” anyway?

Sworn friendship goes far beyond the superficial concepts of friendship. You may have golfing buddies, fishing buddies, and even great people in your life in church or work environments. But if you don’t have an honest, deep relationship with these people, these are not Sworn friendships.

A Sworn friendship is created through a natural process of knitting together two souls through openness, loyalty, and a mutual desire to improve your connections with God. It fills a hole that so many men lose as they get older and take on the responsibility of life. And sadly, some people never experience this level of friendship at all.

As an aid to changing your perspective on friendship, we want to teach you about the six essential ingredients of a Sworn friendship, which will dramatically change your life and the lives of many people around you.

But it’s kind of weird…

We get it. All this talk about two (or more) men being open and loyal to each other can sometimes sound very strange when so many of us have been taught to bottle up our emotions and “be a man.”

This type of close bond isn't always traditionally seen as something two grown men share between one another.

We wrote this book to make you laugh, but even more, to challenge you to see what your relationships with God and your fellow men really mean.

What is actually “weird” is being an island, refusing to heal and grow both in your relationships with God, your fellow men, and even yourself.

You know if there is a problem, but you may not know yet how Sworn friendships are the solution.

It’s not an instructional manual!

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to Sworn friendship, and we’re not going to claim there is one direct path to healing or improving your relationships. We have framed this book through our own experiences, through the growth of the Sworn friendship we share and nurture together and with others in our circle.

So don’t worry, we aren’t going to make you go out and hug 10 men by the end of the week. This isn’t about practicing “fake it until you make it.” It isn't self-help literature aimed to make you feel better for a few moments and then be forgotten as nothing changes in your life.

This book is about finding the truth and letting the “practice” you exhibit to the world reflect on who you truly are inside.

Not only will you be amazed by how becoming open to your fellow man helps build your friendships, but how it will affect your relationships in all levels of your life, including your relationship with God and even yourself.

Interview with Matthew Stegman

The Digital Ink Spot had the pleasure of interviewing, Matthew Stegman. As a self-published author, they lived through a nightmare, only to survive and come out better on the other side. Let's hear what Stegman has to say about his journey though life and self-publishing.

The Digital Ink Spot : Tell the readers about you and your writing style and why is it you became an author? 

Matthew Stegman: My name is Matthew Stegman, I consider myself a struggling high-functioning, chronic illness suffering, anxiety-riddled creative. I try very hard to have the energy to do. However, not always is it present. I write when I can. When I am inspired, I quickly jot down a note to study and obsess over for days until it finally manifests as more than just a few words neatly tucked away on my phone. I try to set aside time to force myself to write but that doesn't always work. I usually just end up editing the same thing one thousand times over. My work usually takes the shape of crazed monologues that I've mangled and crushed into poetry. What I write is either based on my overwhelming intrusive thoughts, dreams that only half make sense after I'm done trying to describe them, past trauma I'm in the process of trying to resolve, failed relationships or friendships, and anything and everything that occupies my poor over-analytical brain. As to why I chose to become an author, well I suppose it's because I had so much inside of me that I needed to write down. Which sounds cliche. Every author, poet, or creative has things inside of them that they need to express. I am no different in that matter. 

 The Digital Ink Spot: What brought you to writing and publishing your first collection? 

Matthew Stegman: Well, I published my first collection and second at the same time. Which in hindsight wasn't the best idea. I had no launch schedule or plan. I rushed the process (if you consider a two-year timespan rushing) because it needed to be done. I needed them out and about. I needed them to really exist. The choice of mangling my work into two collections (If Anyone Can Hide it, it's Me and Parallel Universe Me Has No Scars) and publishing them was, unrealistically, to seek connection. I started writing them at a very low point, and at that point, all I did was seclude myself and write. After writing enough to compile into a collection, I chose to make it a book. After editing and writing more it had become two books. Hard-luck stories push and shape us, and we all have one or two or three. I had become something unrecognizable and needed to grow. As I grew so did my writing. My writing became less about someone else or what they had done, and more about me and my never-ending search into the catacombs of myself. The former my first collection, the latter my second. 

 The Digital Ink Spot: Now that you got the first collection out of your system. What made you continue writing? What was your goal after the first collection? 

 Matthew Stegman: The main goal I guess is to continue to write out all of what needs to come out. I feel the perpetual gnawing in the back of my mind. A beast that demands more from me. I want to continue to write things my readers will relate to. I am absolutely over the moon when I receive reviews and feedback on what someone feels from my writing, or that they feel as if I have entered their mind and wrote down what they felt. In a way that gives me the connection that I so desperately sought after while writing my collections. It gives one a sense of belonging, for me as the author and I'm sure for the reader. 

 The Digital Ink Spot: What else can readers look forward to from you? 

Matthew Stegman: They can look forward to my mind in frenzy, panic, disbelief, and wonder. All compact and written down. I am currently working on a novel but I'm not very far into it. God, I can't tell you how envious I am of those who possess the ability to write out thousands of words a day. Who can manifest chapter after chapter. But alas, my jealously is unimportant. The novel follows a character and their consumption into alcoholic psychosis, as well as the consequences of their actions. The collapse of a life and the lives affected by this collapse. I am excited about it. Even if I mostly stare vividly at the screen typing, backspacing, and typing again. Readers can also keep a lookout for my next poetry chapbook titled Gator Heads & Wind Chimes. Both the novel and chapbook will be available whenever I can convince someone to publish them! Haha! 

 The Digital Ink Spot: After all, you have lived through, what can you say to others how may be going through have gone through the same type of experience? 

Matthew Stegman:  As I said, everyone has a story. Everyone has had struggles they have had to overcome. I am no different. I suffer from Crohn's Disease which is a real pain in the ass. It causes me to have very little energy, due to constant inflammation I feel drained every day. I suffer from unresolved trauma that has manifested as terrible coping mechanisms. I have recognized that the desire to want or to live has escaped me most of my life. Right now, I have a choice. I must choose to want to be alive, despite how helpless I have felt. I must push myself to move and act and breathe and want. Even if I suffer from many things destroying me at once, I will strive to want. Despite it being extremely easy to tell you all this, the hard truth is that it will be excruciating. That it has been excruciating. I will have to demand myself to do and become healthier. My advice to others? 1. Be vulnerable. Yeah, I get it, it's hard. But nothing's real if you're closed off to it. 2. Do. You are what you do. Make the choice to do what needs to be done. If it hurts, it's going to hurt until it doesn't. 2. You should do everything you can to help yourself heal. I slip up. I do all the time. What matters is to continue to try. I suffer from both mental and physical things, but the mental is what keeps me from doing everything I can. Just like I chose to write things down, choose to do.

Abigail Preston hadn't been able to stop thinking of him since she’d been told she’d see him again.

After a memorable high school summer romance, Abigail and Austin broke up when it came time for her to go to college. Now 21, and with nothing but bright prospects for her future ahead, Abigail finds herself conflicted over seeing her old flame again. While it was easy enough to get along with him on the surface, Abigail feels herself falling, a little too comfortably, into the old patterns that two “friends” should not fall into. However, when an accident threatens her entire future, despite Austin’s own personal struggles, she finds him to be the only constant person by her side throughout it all. Had he really changed, or was she fooling herself by falling back into a trap that she’d barely survived before? Even more, should she offer him a second chance at the love he had once passed up?

RENEWED YOU by Chi Thailan @NeoChi12

Free for a Limited Time, 9/30-10/4. Click Now on the Cover Photo. I was a depressed and overweight woman. Then, I decided to do something about it. No fancy gyms or expensive equipment. All I needed was two dumbbells and a mat. I lost over thirty pounds and so can you!

Do you want to be healthier, prettier, slimmer, and happier?

If you said YES to TWO out of the FOUR questions above, then I have the solution for you.

I used to be a depressed, overweight woman for approximately six years. Despite knowing that I have a kind and loving personality, I was very embarrassed of my appearance, especially during my teenage years.

Fitting in school is already hard, and being overweight makes it much harder because people judge you by what they see. They were very cruel and made fun of me.

I, however, was lucky. Somehow, I did not allow my depression to take over. Two years ago, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I decided to roll up my sleeves and make it a goal to change for the better.

That's when I created a special schedule for losing weight by changing my diet and working out regularly every day. But my plan didn't involve fancy gyms or expensive equipment. All I needed was what I already had at home: two dumbbells and a mat.

Now, after losing over thirty pounds, I want to share my experience and knowledge with those who have been bullied because of their weight and appearance. No one should go through that. You have the power to change, because I did!

It's time for you to take control of your life and be the person you always imagined. Better yet, not only will you lose weight, you will also feel and look younger! During this journey, I accidentally discovered a few tricks that help with anti-aging, and I will share them with you.

Setting foot back in the lion’s den of her childhood home is too much to handle, and she knows she has no choice but to smile and look pretty for the cameras.

She’s forced to flee her homeland and start a new life from scratch, a free life on her own terms and with her own rules. Content alone and fulfilling her dreams, fate drops an opportunity in her lap she can’t resist—the opportunity to love again. Everything is going perfectly fine until a member of her family is cruelly killed in revenge for Victor’s crimes, and she is forced to face her past and the man who almost destroyed her, again.

I Am Becoming a Woman by Rebecca Popova @PopovaRebecca

It's time to write about our stormy becoming adults in the "dashing" 90s, when there was a change of eras in Russia. By rejecting former socialist values, the country was trying to live in a new way, while our generation at that time was trying to build a personal life with more or less success.

This extremely frank memoir book is about self-awareness as a woman and searching for love. The heroine is concerned about the questions of how to find herself in this world, about her complexes, insecurity and desire for pleasures, about identifying herself with her beloved literary heroes and with authors of literary works.

This is the real true story. These events not only just could have happened at this very time and in this very country, but they really have happened, and the author seeks to describe these raw experiences with the greatest objectivity and unvarnished.

At the age of 17, she was first kissed by a man who promised to call later, but never called. She decided she was not attractive enough ... Will the heroine finally find her happiness and what kind of happiness it will be?

Distinctive features of the story are piquant details of the life of a young girl, genuine sincerity and an exquisite literary style.

A brilliant mathematics professor. A shocking murder.

In this short intellectual crime novel...

When Dr. David Solon walked out of the coffee shop on the afternoon of May 3, 2011, he didn’t expect to foil an attempted robbery in a nearby alley. He didn’t expect to recognize the would-be perpetrator of the crime. And he didn’t expect to shoot that man to death.

A unique short crime novel that explores the mysteries of love, loss and mathematics, in addition to a senseless murder, The Theory of Anything follows one man's harrowing journey through grief and discovery. It's the perfect book for fans of Memento and A Beautiful Mind.

Review: Past Tense by Lee Child

Jack Reacher hits the pavement and sticks out his thumb. He plans to follow the sun on an epic trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn’t get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been: the town where his father was born. He thinks, What’s one extra day? He takes the detour.

At the same moment, in the same isolated area, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians had been on their way to New York City to sell a treasure. Now they’re stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. The owners seem almost too friendly. It’s a strange place, but it’s all there is.

The next morning, in the city clerk’s office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He’s told no one named Reacher ever lived in town. He’s always known his father left and never returned, but now Reacher wonders, Was he ever there in the first place?

As Reacher explores his father’s life, and as the Canadians face lethal dangers, strands of different stories begin to merge. Then Reacher makes a shocking discovery: The present can be tough, but the past can be tense . . . and deadly.

If you read a Jack Reacher novel, you know what's happening. Two immovable objects heading straight toward each other. Jack being one and and some horrible group of evil people. This novel has the same formula and I don't care. It's awesome and I love it.

If you are new to this and like the hero genre, Lee Child novels will quickly be added to your favorites.
