"Be Gentle with yourself."

Daily Reminders for those who need to hear this: 
- You are always worth more than you think you are. 
- You are never too much and always enough.
- The sun comes up every morning, no matter how terrible the day before was. 
- Your heart is still beating, keeping you and your body alive, regardless of how heavy it feels sometimes. 
- Somewhere, in this big, wide expanse of our world, there is somebody who loves you, even if it's only me❤️

I know firsthand how scary life can be sometimes and how hopeless you can feel. But I'm here to tell you that you are not alone, I'm here if you need me. 

Hi. I'm Lainie. 
I'm just your average teenager obsessed with the way words flow from pages of a book. I love how books can transport you, captivate you, and heal you. I've lost myself in countless pages of countless books and it has genuinely made me a better human. And all I want to do is help people feel a piece of that healing quality I'm talking about.
I hope you can find it hidden in the pages of the books on this platform. 

I love to read, write, sing, basically all the artistic-expression things. I love other things too, like K-pop: namely EXO, BTS, GOT7, and Monsta X or Broadway: I've been a glorified broadway geek since I was 2. 

JIKOOK FOR LIFE...JIKOOK IS REAL. 

And most importantly, I love all of you who took the time to read this and will hopefully take the time to read the books I've written and are currently writing.

Small note about the one book on here that's actually done: Heartbeat was written when I was a young 7th grader with an intense love for Ponyboy Curtis from The Outsiders. I'm much older now and can realize how cringe my book is. If you want to read it, feel free to. 😂
