Hi Kathryn, I'm wishing you so much luck for this important year in your studies. The honesty and humanity in your writing make it beautiful. To be able to see beauty in the ugly is what makes life meaningful to me. I have become very interested in the beauty of caring and I've really enjoyed a book called Aesthetics of Care by Yuriko Saito. Beautiful writing is a way of caring for your readers. Thank you:)

Thank you so much for sharing this, Kathryn! It’s a beautiful topic to explore. I think literature, story is the most soul nourishing experience. It’s the time when one seeks for answers, learns and heals. Or even gains a clear view on his/her own shortcomings. Time to grow. For me beauty in writing is about harmony, about truth, love and effort. When you find a point of calm and stability and that beautiful wave which carries your hand. And all you do in this moment is giving this vibe to others. On ugly days I feel it is challenge for me. Something I need to do, to overcome before I continue.
