not just human; but the embodiment of my words

“You are worth finding. Worth knowing. Worth loving. You and your one million layers.”

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”

“There will always be someone out there who will dislike what you do. What’s important is to love what you’re doing. You must not let other people’s opinions define your own tastes, your own identity, your own art… The moment you let them define them, they stop being yours. You become a prisoner of other people’s desires and expectations. You’re no longer free.”

“I believe that treating other people well is a lost art.”

Write fanfiction guiltlessly. Do it not only because it’s good practice, not only because you don’t feel like putting your energy into original stuff, but because you do feel like putting your energy into fandom. Write fanfics of epic proportions or tiny one-shots; write fluff or angst or cliches or tropes; publish the roughest version or keep the twelfth draft for only yourself. Do it without feeling bad. You owe no one anything; the act of creation is a gift in and of itself, and it doesn’t matter if you’re creating fanfic or original stories or whatever else you want. All that matters is you enjoy it, because why else would you do it at the end of the day?

“It is never too late to be what you might have been”
