that. means so much to me. i do really enjoy writing the difficult, touching stories because it feels worth it. i like the melancholy and the complexity, but i also enjoy finding the beauty in the small things, the bittersweet stuff. i have much more to say about the hard things in life than the easy ones. there’s a satisfaction when a story that actually means something to me manages to touch another person, maybe even bring them to tears. recently i’ve written more stories just for the hell of it, without a deeper meaning, but they don’t matter to me as much. my favorites will always be the ones my heart was in fully. lodestar, flames to ashes, firefighter arson being some. thank you for finding beauty in my stories (and for the follow). i’ll keep your words in mind the next time i’m struggling to write something with meaning. those stories are usually the most frustrating to write, but the most rewarding in the end. thank you, seriously🤍 i’ll think about this for a long time. much love and take care!
