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. Several years ago, in this same position, I would have searched for another person to attach my identity onto,

The Writing Journey


I know a lot of people who have asked the question, "How does someone write?"

Well, honestly, I've never asked the question myself, because writing has been in my blood for ever since I can remember.

But by the same token, just because you think you can't write, doesn't make writing hard.

  1. Oh dear! Thank you so much for that awesome comment.

    We actually have a game plan on getting it published when we're done. But as two highschoolers we're low on funds.

    So we had this idea to once a month take applications (because we don't want just anyone being able to read our books and steal our ideas) and choose who we'll let buy a virtual copy of our book via e-mail.

    So yeah. ANYWAY. We really wanna get it published. I hope we can! :D

  2. Hey... I had a er... question. :)

    I'm writing a book -- and I'm looking for an editor. You might not want to help me... maybe you know someone who would?

    If you could reply on my blog... that'd be awesome.

    xx,
