“How else would you get to live a thousand lives in the span of only one? The beauty of fiction is that it makes you feel things on a visceral level. You can cry with those characters, laugh with them. It teaches you to look at another’s perspective, to have empathy. In nonfiction, you simply learn about something instead of feeling it.”
― Liz Tomforde, The Right Move

“Sometimes, when you’re in the midst of tragedy—of heartbreak—it can be impossible to see the other side. It’s like you’re drowning beneath the weight of your emotions, memories, your very thoughts, but if you just keep going, keep swimming, then eventually you make it to shore. You’re tired, but stronger, and look at yourself in a new light. I think it’s our tendency to doubt ourselves, to think we’re weaker than what we are, but there’s more in all of us than we realize.”
― Micalea Smeltzer, The Resurrection of Wildflowers
