``The greed for external validation, the maddening hunger for the slices of praise that never fill yet never satisfy the void within you, weakens the ultimate need to look at yourself in the mirror and say; "I shall love myself for as long as I live, for outside praise is fragile and fleeting, but the strength to validate myself at my best and at my worst is what shall keep my going." For as long as you drink from sweet yet empty words with those hardened hands of yours, you shall never truly have the ability to thrive on your own time and will only survive as a section in their schedule.``

How to Write a Character

↠ Start with the basics, because obviously. Name. Age. Gender. Maybe even a birthday if you’re feeling fancy. This is step one because, well, your character needs to exist before they can be interesting. But nobody cares if they’re 27 or 37 unless it actually matters to the story.

↠ Looks aren’t everything… but also, describe them. Yes, we know their soul is more important than their hair color, but readers still need something to visualize. Do they have the kind of face that makes babies cry? Do they always look like they just rolled out of bed? Give us details, not just “tall with brown hair.

↠ Personality isn’t just “kind but tough.” For the love of storytelling, give them more than two adjectives. Are they kind, or do they just pretend to be because they hate confrontation? Are they actually tough, or are they just too emotionally repressed to cry in public? Dig deeper.

↠ Backstory = Trauma (usually). Something shaped them. Maybe it was a messy divorce, maybe they were the middle child and never got enough attention, or maybe they once got humiliated in a spelling bee and never recovered. Whatever it is, make it matter to who they are today.

↠ Give them a goal. Preferably a messy one. If your character’s only motivation is to “be happy” or “do their best,” they’re boring. They need a real goal, one that conflicts with who they are, what they believe in, or what they think they deserve. Bonus points if it wrecks them emotionally.

↠ Make them suffer. Yes, I said it. A smooth, easy journey is not a story. Give them obstacles. Rip things away from them. Make them work for what they want. Nobody wants to read about a character who just gets everything handed to them (unless it’s satire, then carry on).

↠ Relationships = Depth. Nobody exists in a vacuum. Who do they love? Who annoys the hell out of them? Who do they have that messy, can’t-live-with-you-can’t-live-without-you tension with? People shape us. So, shape your character through the people in their life.

↠ Give them a voice that actually sounds like them. If all your characters talk the same, you’ve got a problem. Some people ramble, some overthink, some are blunt to the point of being offensive. Let their voice show who they are. You should be able to tell who’s talking without dialogue tags.

↠ If they don’t grow, what’s the point? People change. They learn things, make mistakes, get their hearts broken, and (hopefully) become a little wiser. If your character starts and ends the story as the same exact person, you just wasted everyone’s time.

↠ Flaws. Give. Them. Flaws. Nobody likes a perfect character. Give them something to struggle with, maybe they’re selfish, maybe they push people away, maybe they’re addicted to the thrill of self-destruction (fun!). Make them real. Make them human.

↠ Relatability is key. Your character doesn’t have to be likable, but they do have to be understandable. Readers need to get them, even if they don’t agree with them. If your character never struggles, never doubts, and never screws up, I have bad news: they’re not a character, they’re a mannequin.

↠ You’re never actually done. Characters evolve, not just in the story, but as you write them. If something feels off, fix it. If they feel flat, dig deeper. Keep refining, rewriting, and letting them surprise you. That’s how you create someone who feels real.

Now go forth and write characters that actually make people feel something. And if you need a reminder, just ask yourself: Would I care if this person existed in real life? If the answer is meh, start over.

Thank you so much!! I’m happy you enjoyed it! ✨

Dear, soulmate…

Connected by lace,

An Invisible brace,

Energy unknown,

Charming me to roam.

She could be right here,

Yet I’m left to peer,

Through the world’s faces,

Snooping through spaces.

She searches earth too,

Darting through green, blue-

Or, at least, I hope,

She looks for our rope.

I can only dream,

That she’s a sun beam,

Caught in an eclipse,

Wishing for my lips.

Across or far from,

Desire pounds drums,

Belonging, beloved,

Her I wish to love.

If I walk and pass,

Would her heart of glass,

Ache with desire,

Set her mind on fire?

Do our feelings link,

Pour out in a sink,

That collects and holds,

What we wish to unfold?

Do my eyes deceive,

Make my soul believe,

I will not find her,

And I’ll fade and blur?

Gasping for some air,

I want to be there,

Able to breathe free,

But with you, I’ll be.

Together we’ll hide,

With unbreakable stride;

We’re two girls in love,

Love handpicked above.

I will search and search,

Till together we perch,

Will see you, soul mate,

Our sweet love awaits.

(I know some lines break the meter but I love them too much 😭. Let me know what you think! )

Can you 🥺 can you give ME a soul reading 🙏🏻

But- I give those to people who are being rude or weird in my asks and you haven’t done anything wrong at all 😭 but I’ll give you one anyways because I’m nice :)

I see this photo as your soul because you have a gothic kind of style on your main blog, and I added a tint of red to the photo so it looks more vampiric (?) because you like vampires!

(this is the first soul reading I’ve done lol)

``I'd rather dance with passion then walk with conformity. I'd rather laugh like a maniac and live through the hard times and live an "impossible" life, then to never smile at all and never know what it's like to even try. I'd rather people see me as this passionate, full-of-life, crazy and determined person than to be another statistic in the sea of expectations. I'd rather try to leave the world in better shape before, even just a little, for the next generation to come than to drown in the sea of pessimism and doubt. Sure, things may seem sucky, but if you take the first step, who is to say a domino effect cannot take place?``
