we shine as brightly as any star
when we know who we are
happy souls are unshakeable
they are forged under a lot of pressure
and bravely choose themselves
whatever that looks like
we deserve to do things that make life enjoyable
anything else and we break our own hearts
comparison is pain
a constant ripple of fear
cannot be our default
fear corrupts
open hearts bring people together
is it scary to be open?
of course
but you have to keep reaching out
to build your happy place
soon you will burn so bright
you will laugh at the darkness

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
The Beauty Of Age
"It's a shame to live in a kingdom where our generation fears aging. We're led to believe that every wrinkle is a beauty mark lost, so we're discouraged from embracing our natural appearance. It's alarming to see young girls seeking potions and creams to alter their features, spending more than they can afford to chase an unattainable standard of beauty. The emotional toll of this pursuit is ignored, and those who speak out against it are silenced.
