note to self: i’ll be there for you, always

written june 6, 2021. Photo by Kristine Cinate on Unsplash I have always looked for myself in other people. I think the idea was that they would somehow hold the pieces of me that I felt were missing. That maybe, if I wrapped my identity up in theirs enough, we would somehow make a whole person. It's not healthy to live like this, but I did it anyway — burning through relationships and searching for something I couldn't quite name. It was never enough, not to be myself, but it was never enough to latch my identity to other people, either. I got close, several times — I thought I had reached the pinnacle of self discovery. I thought I had completed myself. But in the end, relying on other people to help build yourself is never a viable way to do things. It's only recently that I've started to become comfortable with the idea of being enough, as I am, on my own.

Beautiful People - July/August Edition


Beautiful People is a little late this year, but better late than never, I always say! :)

If you want to find out more about Beautiful People and what it is, go ahead and head on over to this post.

As always, my partner-in-crime Georgie Penn said it better than I ever could, so I'm just going to quote her on this. For those participating, as you answer the questions, remember, they are not just a way to share what you already know about your character with others, but also to discover more about them yourself. If you don't know the answer to one of the questions, think about it for a little while. Some of the questions are hard, but finding the answer may just help you get to know them a little better.

Last, but not least, even though some of the questions seemed geared towards non-fantasy kind of characters, I still encourage fantasy authors to see if they can adapt the questions so it'll work for them. If you need to change the questions around a little bit, please feel free to do so. You could also imagine what the answer would be if your character wasn't fantasy. What would they be like in a modern world?

Otherwise, on to the questions! Thanks to Hannah Grace and Taylor Lynn for these questions.


  1. What is his/her biggest secret?
  2. Has he/she ever been in love?
  3. What is his/her comfort food?
  4. Does he/she play a musical instrument? If so, what?
  5. What colour are his/her eyes? Hair?
  6. Does he/she have any pets?
  7. What is his/her favorite place to be?
  8. What are some of his/her dreams or goals?
  9. Does he/she enjoy sports?
  10. What is his/her favorite flower or plant?


Also, please leave any and all questions you have for Beautiful People, since we're putting together a master list and you can never have too many questions. ;)

Don't forget to sign the linky!




Have fun! :)

    I'm going to do this a little later. I don't I even did the May/June edition! I can't remember.. I'll go check ;) :P
    Great questions! It's so hard to decided on whether or not I should do them for Charlotte, or Alex. I think I'll do both :))

Comments make the world go 'round... or was that chocolate?

Thank you for stopping by! I read every single comment and love them all. Seriously, it makes my day. I do my best to comment back!

My only rule is basic respect and honor. Disagreement is accepted, but hate and trolling is not. Otherwise, say what you need to say, and have fun. And don't forget to grab a free complimentary mint on your way out.
