I know it's a common question, but I was just wondering if anyone inspired the characters or if they're based on anyone, or if they're entirely your creation?

The picture I used is on my Pinterest account at https://www.pinterest.com/hollybodger...(less)

there is no point in being fair

if you've forgotten to be fair
to yourself.”

“A man is measured
not by the answers he finds
but the questions he asks.
Find an answer
and you stand still.
Stop asking questions
and you die.”

“Nani’s allegiance is to her anger
and
anger
runs deeper than blood and skin.
It’s set in bone
and bone, once broken,
never
heals the same.”
