being an author, or singer, or that kind of thing, in reality will be worthless years from now when I'm old. People won't talk about me because of what I achieved. They will talk about me because of how kind I was. Always go after your dreams, and remember the value of you is in your heart and

I care for you. I don't know what your goals are, but I've been at this for a while, and I think the best thing to do is just keep going for your goals, no matter what they are.

I would be honored to join. How do I go about doing that? :) By the way, I'm a Sci-Fi / Fantasy and Christian writer. I'm self published and used to run a group of self published authors called Breakwater Harbor Books. I am an LGBTQ+ ally.
