I have no words for the beauty, heartbreak and glimmer of hope of this

🥹🥹🥹This is beautiful and it teared up honestly, as it touches thoughts I may have lingering in my mind. My heart bleeds for Grant and Orrin but I'm glad on the notes you ended this piece with. HOPE. No matter how broken and damaged one can feel, there's always room for it to be better, a second chance at something. And I agree with EMR there are a lot of quotable lines in this piece, but I have mine set on a striking one!!🫶🫶🫶🫶👏👏👏

Thank you so much 🥹 a lot of the themes in this project linger on my mind as well, Orrin and Grant being one of them

It’s one of the few stories in this overall project that personally means a lot to me, so that you felt touched by it gets me a little teary, too

This is strikingly beautiful writing. More than a few quotes had me on my ass. The themes at play and the dialogue between Grant and Orrin are perfectly executed. You are glued to the screen through it. And it ends off on a bitter sweet note, with the idea that you need to trust the process. Very and so human. The door imagery ties everything down to a fine point. Damn near perfect. I loved reading this one.

Thank you so much! Absolutely awed at the praise. It’s 5:15 AM and I’m just getting ready for work, but you absolutely made my day with that.
