I sought to see through her eyes,
walk in her footsteps,
and be a part of her life
so that I could heal through her.
What I found waiting was far better
than anything I could imagine.
And I never want to leave.

Absolutely beautiful. It’s funny how when we start something with one intention, it can sometimes lead to something we really didn’t think we’d find. Love it! 🙂

Exactly. Everything stemmed from a dream I couldn’t get out of my head (the end of Just Breathe’s first chapter). I’m still amazed at where it takes me. 😊

I’m thinking about that one… how it relates to “escapism.”
