“A diagnosis is not a prognosis unless you let it be.”

“I was receiving at least ninety-nine incredible, positive, and life-changing responses for every negative or abusive one, yet I couldn’t stop looking at the one percent. I couldn’t get them out of my mind. I let them kill my excitement. I let them destroy my love for what I was doing. I let them shut me down. I let them bully me into changing the way I did things around here.

I almost stopped. I almost gave up. I almost quit writing.

But every time, I remembered my dad.

He taught me better than that.

And I forced myself to be excited again. I forced myself to see the goal and vision of why I was excited in the first place. I forced myself to start skipping over the negative replies and start diving into the loving ones.”

“The boy’s skeletal frame was now all that remained of him, and through his flesh could be seen the steady beat of his indomitable heart.”
