If I could sum up the things that have been with me my entire life with just one list, writing would be at the top 2. It creates worlds, builds lives, tears down sorrow, and starts universes. With something as simple as words on a screen or a piece of paper, lives can begin. Writing helped me in my darkest moments, and reading gave me something to look forward to and hope for each day. I was able to lose myself in someone else's world; forget about my reality and my pain. Now I hope to do the same for everyone here. Because, who knows? Maybe one day I can help others the same way stories have helped me.
