In this week's 🆕blog post, I finally chat about what REALLY kept my story alive... 🎶🎵🎶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Without music, I wouldn’t have constantly been immersed the world of Stella and Skye. I wouldn’t have been thinking about what music would be playing over each scene, each moment, each feeling. I wouldn’t have been living in their world on the bus to class or while cleaning my apartment. 🎙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Long story short, my story wouldn't be what it is today. 🤷‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To check out the post, hit up the link in my bio! 👆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember

Found this the other day, and it is one of the most haunting stories turned poems I've ever seen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That ending.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I adore this section of @barnesandnoble. 🤤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📚It's so easy for me to hop into a poetry book and flip through a few poems, whereas starting a whole story in the middle of an aisle of books is tough... 🙄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your favorite section of a book store? 👇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstore #barnesandnoble #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember

“When No One Can Kill You”: 🔹A man’s fight with his health and time🔹 ⠀ 📸 The photos today are a selection of ones from my final photo story while a part of the @unc_viscom department at the @uncmjschool. ⠀ The story is super close to my heart, as it features my best friend’s awesome dad who suffers with a multitude of health issues. Explanation below!👇 ⠀ Dan, a middle-aged father living in Apex, North Carolina, is diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (blood clots in lungs), cardiomegaly (an enlargement of the heart) and an abnormal autoimmune disorder, among other things. He had to retire early and move from his home in New Mexico to the East coast, as the lower elevation is better for his lungs. His daughter says that he is “at risk of dying almost every day,” and as he gets older, that risk only grows worse. ⠀ Dan deals with his failing health on an everyday basis with humor and distraction. He spends most days at home working around the house, physically exerting himself when he knows he probably shouldn’t. As like most suffering with their health, Dan’s family is his main support system. 💛 . . . #healthdoc #healthdocumentary #documentary #photographer #photography #photography📸 #photography📷 #photojournalism #photography_lovers #photojournalist #photojournalismphotos #portraitphotography #portrait #portraits #photo #documentaryphotojournalism #photooftheday #photographyislifee

Any poem that uses one of my favorite words--oblivion--is a winner in my book. 💥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✒️(Doesn't hurt that it's by Billy of course.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #shakespeare #poetry #poet #creativewriting #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetscommunity #poetryclub #poetofinstagram #poetrylove #poetsofinsta #poetcommunity #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #fiction #fictionbooks #fictionwriter #author #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writerblog #quotes #quotestoremember
