we all agree that writer’s are incredibly talented and well-rounded in all fields, so it occurred to me that maybe being a writer is the last life you live through before your soul rests. you’ve lived through all these lives and adventures, now its time to tell your tale. and once you’ve told the stories of your past lives, you can finally rest completely. idk just a thought.
