Happy Resurrection Sunday!!!
I've recently found out that the thing that keeps me alive is the very thing that's killing me on Wattpad. I felt dead inside at one point, so I wrote poetry, trying to make it as simple as possible so I could understand what wounds I write down.
Now, I have joy, and it's what keeps me breathing and not breaking these days. I've realized over the last month that, relatability gives you better brownie points with readers... at least, much more than inspiration. It's heartbreaking to see so many people prefer dark and depression over the tiny objects that bring us everyday happiness. There's a place for denial, but where's the place for acceptance?! There's a place for anger, but where's the one for peace?
Our writing careers are only beginning it's new life, and I plan to revive mine this Easter. Even if everyone wants relatability, I will choose irritability. "To be cringe is to be free!" So, never change your writing style to please others, because that human touch that touches your soul will touch others' hearts too, no matter how far-fetched it may seem.
"Be of good cheer, for I have overcome this world." Let's resurrect this platform to spread truth and courage, alongside the pain and processing of grief.
