I realized words are our escapism-when eyes never met, ears never listened, or lips never opened. We can always set everything aside and drown in the ecstasy that is stories, particularly those that resonated, inspired, and made us feel so much. Yet, asking for more. To my favorite writers, thank you for creating such masterpieces. May you be blessed always. To my favorite stories, I'll forever be a sucker for the emotions you made me feel and the lessons you have taught. My gateway in another world.
