“[Why write?]
It’s being able to look at my stack of weathered notebooks and know that I’ve created something, just for the sake of it. For the sake of remembering that I am a human and therefore can create. And that when faced with the choice to either create or not create — I went forth and created.”

So you abandon the empty castle that is productivity and enter the little cottage of your funny heart.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song

“[When] I've been neglecting writing in my journal, usually this kind of avoidance is a sign I need to actually face the page.

- What am I holding on to?
- Who am I being invited to become?”
― Benjamin Brown

As emotions shapeshift and so much happened since.
But if embarrassed souls rushed to scrap their heart’s particles,
We’d be left with only textbooks, formulas, and scientific articles.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song
