Hello all, I'm Morningstar, a writer (and hopefully an author in the making) my hobbies and areas of interest are...

• Writing — I'm on my way to 50k words
• Collecting books (Ann liang is my favorite author)
• Reading, especially epic fantasy
• Terrariums because they’re gorgeous

and so much more!

Why do i write? I suppose it's something I've seen a lot and i really enjoy it. It is like a habit I've grown up with. I think its such a beautiful way to put a part of yourself out into the world. In my mind i have always had characters there, for as long as i remember something out of my imagination has been with me, especially since i read 'The Polar Bear Explorers Club' so many years ago, in my life it is as if Stella Starflake pearl is always a few steps behind me. Writing makes you think of things that don't exist (yet) and feel something about it while also often being something you can learn from as a reader.

I read this recently and it so deeply resonated with me, so i wanted to share it. "I am a novelist, not a historian of medicine. TB is rare where i live. It does not affect me. And that is all true. But I hear Shreya, and Henry, and so many others calling to me: 'Marco. Marco. Marco.'" - everything is tuberculosis by John Green. I just really think its such a perfect way to talk about humanity, readers are reaching out but writers stay immortal through their read works. One person I can give an example of is shakesphere, he wrote so long ago but is prevalent in bookstores and libraries all over the world. Even a fragment of his success would make me so fuffiled. I want to talk about a little of what resonates with me so ill do it in the form of expressive writing.

What resonates with me? I'll begin with the word itself, resonation is something that to me feels like a vibration. Like a glowing flower that blooms to prompt the gray ones around it that haven't budded yet to do the same. Something that ricochets off the wall and hits you back like the strumming of a heartstring. It's a melody that attracts only you, something that contributes to who you are as a person.

See, one of the things that resonates with me the most is a glimpse of human connection. A small smile, a fleeting conversation or a moment where two unassociated worlds make a covalent bond, share an electron with each other despite having no past together. This scenario could be anything, someone speaking so passionately about something they adore, a knowing look between two people who for a millisecond feel almost identically about something or the laugh at something crazy strangers have witnessed together.

Resonation to me is not just a feeling, it's a state, the way I feel when I write and see media that makes me want to speak so deeply about it. Writing is a form of art, of expression and self portrayal. Through my written works I feel as though I've left a piece of me out onto the paper, onto the screen and between those lines. I feel as though things I see and consume in so many different ways fill in the gaps of my brick wall. Each stone in the building that my mind lives in every waking second. Those bricks, books, films, views, poems, art, blogs and more stories. They get old and dusty but eventually a little spark of remembrance makes them glow with nostalgia.

Then finally, my most vast resonation, the universe itself. It is like me, a thing so hard to describe with one word because of how much it is, indescribable due to the myriad of components it has within it. The earth and its hills, rivers, mountains, oceans, fields, homes, people, culture and so much more are like the things that make it so much like me, because within my mind I have my own vast expanse of various things all living through good and bad times but all in an equilibrium of continuation. So when my time comes to an end my resonance will ricochet off the stars and hit the heartstrings of the earth's core.

Hope you have a great evening, night or day!
