                                               No matter how far away you are

                                           I will always be there to support you

                                                   I can {{ p r o m i s e }} you

                                                         I have your back

The bravest hands are the gentle ones;
the strongest hearts are the open ones;
the loudest voices are the quiet ones.

Those who choose to be soft, to be vulnerable,
in a world afraid of it’s skin.

Let your characters break

One weakness in writing I have is that I have a hard time letting my characters take a fall. I want things to be difficult (but not too difficult) and sad (but not too sad).

When characters are at rock bottom, they may write like different characters. They may compromise their beliefs in an attempt to relieve the stress/pain. They may be mean to characters you, as the author, know don’t deserve it.

It’s a struggle, but if I have any advice to give today, it’s let your characters break. It’ll make building them up just that much more powerful to the reader.

Too often we trivialize
the hardship of survival.
Too often we think what is natural
is also easy.

Too often we pretend to ignore
the glass shards that fill our lungs
with every breath we take—
smiling as they puncture our throats
and we swallow the blood down,
content to choke on the silence.

But I am a warrior—
the kind that is constantly at war
with myself.
My breath is my battle cry,
and my heart is a sound piece,
announcing victory with each beat.

—And the fight goes on.
