I write the words I wish I'd found

There is a gentle beauty in the way that we write words, an honesty we can let out without the same hesitation as the spoken word. It's as if the words on a page, on a phone, become something separate once they're shared. They stop being about the writer the moment they reach the reader. There is something magical in that, the way your entire perception of the world can shift in a moment because of someone else's words.
