Do you ever look at a sparrow and think, "that bird is really wasting her potential?"

No. That thought would clang against the simple dignity we sense in nature, the dignity of a living thing inhabiting a life.

You are that sparrow. You are the branch she rests upon.

You embody that same dignity.

Write the story you want to write

It's ok if your story is predictable. Not every work of fiction needs to reinvent the wheel.

There's a reason that tropes exist, and it's because readers enjoy them and they make compelling stories. As long as the journey is fun, readers will come along for the ride.

“—I want to change: I want to stop fear’s subtle / guidance of my life—”

— Frank Bidart, from Half-light: Collected Poems; “California Plush” (via luthienne)

u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw

my first favorite hobby is yapping. second is being extremely quiet and not talking ever at all ever.
