If you want your prayers answered, be the answer to someone else's. Sometimes the best way to fix your own story is to help someone else write a better chapter of theirs.♡
Writing at its best is a bridge of empathy that mirrors a reader's hidden struggles, giving them comfort to know they are not alone. When honest words validate pain pointing toward a new horizon, they transform into a lifeline. Turning a simple story into a powerful source of resilience. #Firehorse
The way I see it: To write with true emotion is to sit atop a thundering heart feeling the raw, unbridled power of a horse that wants to run. It is a delicate, breathless balance-trusting the weight of your feelings to carry the words so they can be felt by another. ❤️
I have an 8 & 10 year old. My heart is sick, broken, & screaming in grief about today. If you are still hesitant about basic #guncontrol, want to solely blame mental health, or get the urge to send thoughts & prayers but not change, read Paul Crenshaw first: theamericanscholar.org/jeremy-spoke...

A Southern Gothic coming-of age tale in the vein of The Secret Life of Bees laced with the ghostly resonance of City of Ghosts and the aching vulnerability of The Perks of Being a Wallflower. #PosterPit #C #MG #M #A
