What is the meaning of life? That was all — a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.

Imagine that you and I shared a personal language, one that only we two could interpret.
Perhaps we do.

i loveee character-driven stories, what’s the plot??? doesn’t matter, give me 5 pages of a character’s internal conflicts, describe their emotional state and tell me about their feelings in details, also 20 pages of the characters relationship with each other, a chapter of the character’s backstory, tell me how they think, tell me their opinions and how they live and why the preferred lifestyle

For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone.

Hi, I love your web weaves and I was wondering if I could request one about the odd things children hold onto in their adult lives. Something to go with "She was certain that he was thinking, we are not going to the Lighthouse tomorrow; and she thought, he will remember that all his life." From To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. Thank you, I hope you have a wonderful day!!
i hope this is what you were looking for !!
