As I begin to slowly repost Sarah’s stories, The Dance Inside and parts of the sequel Grow Up, I want share my love for Sarah’s writing .
Growing up in high school, I felt like the weird kid that everyone stared at and laughed at. I felt like this rainbow liberal af unicorn that stood out in my small, conservative and southern town. I didn’t feel understood.
I learned about this little app called Wattpad and this world of boyxboy and fanfics. I found Sarah’s writing and I felt like I finally found a place where my interests weren’t so weird. I found other rainbow unicorns and soon I found a community all on Wattpad. I found a place where all love is celebrated. I found my escape.
I found The Dance Inside and that book resonated with me in so many ways because just like Kellin, I was from a small southern town . I read that story so many times and was heartbroken when all of her stories were deleted. Therefore, I’m taking my time to repost it so other little rainbow unicorns in southern towns can enjoy this story to and find an escape even if it’s just through a fanfic.
Thank you Sarah for your writing. Thank you for the impact you have made on my life and many others. I would not be here today if it weren’t for your writing.
I am forever grateful.
I hope you’re somewhere so happy and at peace.
