Never let the opinion of another affect your opinion of yourself.
The moment you put someone on a pedestal they will look down upon you. The trick is respecting each other equally.
There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than to create a world that solely exists in your imagination and be able to pull someone into this hidden place inside of my thoughts. To make someone care for a person that has manifested from my dreams, to make them hate me for putting them in danger, and for them to ask to be taken on another journey with me when it is all said and done is why I write.
Never outgrow your imagination.
Someone is always going to try to knock you down and take your place. It is up to you to fight for what you want.
Sometimes I scare myself at how easily I slip inside my mind and live vicariously through these characters.
