believe dark soul
But I believe the words entered me and changed me and still work in me. The words eat me and sustain me.

taken writing class
I had never taken creative writing classes. Hadn't even considered it.
dark circles space
Claim your space. Draw a circle of light around it. Push back against the dark. Don't just survive. Celebrate.
strong pain grief
We are not strong enough to stand up against endless grief, And yet pain is the constant drone of life. So if we are to have any happiness at all, it is only in the passing instant.
book healing littles
Ask her what she craved, and she'd get a little frantic about things like books, the woods, music. Plants and the seasons. Also freedom.
