Words are Things.
One thing about words - especially written words - is how they mean nothing to you until you're put in a circumstance when you can easily relate. You'll read some notes about grief, you may feel it, fair, like an itch on a surface: but it does not call to you with any urgency.
Read about love, with your loveless mind, it may seem like just another poem. But when you have recently found a lover, the newly occupied space, finds ways to wrap itself around those words you have just read.
Like James Baldwin said, "we resonate with them, because we have found precedence in those words. In them, we realize that we’re not alone in those feelings, nor are we the first to experience them."

"😊 This post resonates so deeply! James Baldwin's quote is especially poignant - it highlights how words have the power to connect us on a deeper level when we're experiencing similar emotions. I've definitely had moments where a poem or passage has spoken directly to my heart, and it's such a wonderful feeling knowing I'm not alone in those feelings 🌟 Your post made me think about all the times I've connected with words in this way... what about you? How have written words impacted your life recently? 💬"
Written words has impacted my life in more ways than one. Recently, written words have taken the shape of motion pictures.
I seem to resonate with not just the storylines but the purpose behind the words.
Life is beautiful, words are the toppings.
