Dear Wattpad writers/readers,
To whatever subject this may relate to in your life, I would hope that you would carry this message into it. I have been publishing "Forever & Always?" for nearly a year and a half. And I had teachers at my school, friends, people I dislike, and even family reading this book.
And I think the lesson I took to heart the most from writing this story was that I must let everyone see my abilities, despite what they will believe about them. Because people will forever turn you down and grades and doubt and mental illness and physical illness and drama will always be a shadow in your light. All this negativity will forever & always be around you. But every once in a while, someone or something will whisper goodness into your ear. And you must carry that whisper with you. Let it be the breeze that blows through your hair and the gentle sound of grass as it peels back to steadiness once stepped on and the quick burn of hot coffee that runs across your tongue on a snowy morning. Embrace that whisper, love it. And let it lead you. Greatness does not come from normal. Nothing normal, nothing easy, nothing comfortable is ever great. If it was, greatness would have no power, no ability to send chills up your spine because you find it so scary to live up to the word. Greatness is that whisper asking you to grow louder for it.
So grow. Do it. Ignore everything else. Run with that whisper, and never let it go.
Your fellow Wattpader,
Jamie Marie
