"Thou must gather thine own sunshine." - Hester Prynne.
Holy hell is this one of my all time favorite literary quotes.
Can we just stop and have a moment of silence for what a goddess Hester Prynne actually is?
I’ll wait...
Despite being shunned by the ENTIRE TOWN, this girl picked herself up, found herself a home, and made a life for her and her daughter.
She endured torture and embarrassment without ever revealing the name of her suitor in an act of protecting his name.
She was a kind soul, always being respectful to those who mocked her.
Not to mention, she raised this bad, mother-freakin’ demon child, Pearl, when I would’ve given her to an exorcist real quick.
She’s a saint.
Hester Prynne is the embodiment of this quote!
No matter what life throws at you. No matter who hurts you. No matter what pain you have to endure...
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN HAPPINESS.
She went through hell and back and still picked herself up and found happiness even in the most difficult of situations.
If this isn’t motivation, then I don’t know what is.

Writing and getting to connect with people on a special level is something that I love to do. Nothing in this world beats being able to be your true, authentic self and have someone not only appreciate, but be able to relate to it in one way or another. It is my absolute dream, no, my goal to be able to do this as a career one day. Until then, if you'd like, you don't have to though (trust me, I know the struggle), you can visit the link by clicking here and donate to my blog. By doing this, you're helping me be able to one day stop doing freelance and be able to solely focus on my blog. Either way, thank you for stopping by and checking out what I have to say. I really appreciate it.
