I’ve been working on my latest book this week. I decided to forego a lot of other projects to try and put a dent in this one. I can’t believe that I wasn’t even half way completed, yet I’m still hoping for a September release date.
Anyhow, this quote from the book has me in my feels, and I keep going back to all the relationships that I’ve had (good and bad, romantic and friendship) and it made me think: What if these people never came into my life?
Sometimes people have a way of coming into our lives and flipping what we thought was our norm. They complete deconstruct us in ways we didn’t know we needed until the aftermath happens.
I can think of several relationships from my past that led me down a different pathway, but it all culminated so different from how I thought it should. Romantic relationships that allowed me to see my worth. Friendships that taught me how to be the friend I needed to be and how to ask for what I needed.
Things aren’t always simple or black-and-white. Sometimes we have to wade through the gray areas to find what is best for us. Or to find our message.
For my two MCs, that’s exactly what is happening. Neither of them expected for things to shift their axis, but at the same time, it was needed, and Fate had a way of tossing them together to pull them onto the right path.
