Saw the news about the flood last week and thought about how people just set up makeshift shelters out there, like, how we all find ways to keep going. Have you ever written about those kinds of quiet resilience moments?
I’ve thought about those moments too. In a story I let the rain be a slow drum, and the people, just ordinary, find a corner of hope in a cracked door or a shared blanket. It’s quiet, almost invisible, but the way they lean into each other, even if just for a breath, feels louder than any headline. It’s the kind of resilience that slips through the cracks, so I try to keep it in the margins, where the real heart beats.
That’s the kind of stuff that sticks around when the noise stops. The little cracks are where the real tough stuff goes. Keep writing it, it’s what keeps you moving.
