For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only son
that whoever believes in him shall not perish
but have
eternal
life

I'm not white. I'm pakeha.

grief is love with its darker clothes on.

Sometimes
early in the morning
when I'm the only one awake
I think I'm stepping loudly.

But then
when my brother gets up
I realise:
I'm not.

Please don't use these yet c:
Meh. On second thoughts, whatever XD but still

1. make the reader understand the character is deaf/blind/mute/etc. without saying anything about it. Description only
2. Get across that the character is sad/happy/angry/etc. without saying outright. Changing how they view the world/colours/etc. only
3. Short-story without describing the main-character. If done right, by the time it's finished readers should know
4. Describe without describing. Ex: 'painting' a sunset without saying it's a sunset

wip. more to be added later.

“Pride can be useful in this game we call life.
“It was pride (or wisdom?) that forbade me from giving-in to their bullying —
even when I didn't recognise it as such.”

“No, kid. That was God.”

Out of the pain
came something beautiful

xxxxxAn eight year old girl had a panic attack, 'cause the father she loved left and never looked back. No longer the hero she counted on, he told her he loved her, and then he was gone.
xxxxxShe tried to look happy in front of her friends, but knew that she'd never feel normal again. She fought back the tears as they filled her eyes, and wanted him back just to tell him goodbye.

When the rain falls down —
when it all turns around —
when the light goes out —
this isn't the end.

xxxxxHer dad was a good guy that everyone liked, but nobody knew he was dying inside. He promised his family he'd be alright, and then with a gunshot he left them behind

When the rain falls down —
when it all turns around —
when the light goes out —
this isn't the end.

When the rain falls down —
when it all turns around —
when the light goes out —
this isn't the end, no.

xxxxxThe role of a father he never deserved — he abandoned his daughter and never returned.
xxxxxAnd over the years, though the pain was real, she finally forgave him and started to heal.
xxxxxHow close is the ending? Well, nobody knows; the future's a mystery, and anything goes. Love is confusing, and life is hard. You fight to survive 'cause you made it this far.

It's all too astounding to comprehend.
It's just the beginning, this isn't the end —
it's just the beginning, this isn't the end...
