“It wasn't that she was sad—sadness had very little to do with it, really, considering that most of the time, she felt close to nothing at all. Feeling required nerves, connections, sensory input. The only thing she felt was numb. And tired. Yes, she very frequently felt tired.” ―Nenia Campbell
Feelings
At The End Of The Day
“At the end of the day your ability to connect with your readers comes down to how you make them feel.” ―Benjamin J. Carey
Be Honest With People About Who You Are
Earlier in the day I was thinking about someone I know, and how long he had to keep his sexuality a secret, out of fear that his friends, family, and career would all fade away. It disturbed me.

How We Feel
“How we feel is not who we are. We might feel like failures, but as long as we are still trying, we are not failures. We are works in progress.” ―Toni Sorenson

In one month, which was recent, I counted thirty migraine days. That's … Continue reading I Don’t Have Time For This
