Absolutely breathtaking, and like reading my own journal. Such a common feeling, but you write it in such a revolutionary way I can feel the fear of vulnerability dripping off the page. Just brilliant.

I read everything. It was beautiful. I wish I could express like this. What's the novel you writing about? What's it called? When is it coming? I would like to read more. Your words have power to make the reader visualize every little feeling with such a beautiful way
