I think I’m going to start writing again.
"Because, in truth, I didn’t become a writer the first time I put pen to paper or when I finished my first book (easy) or second one (hard). You see, in my view a writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway."
Junot Diaz, the author of the stunningly beautiful The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (via oncewild)
In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted.
-Edgar Allan Poe, The Dream
"‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—“
- Emily Dickinson"
