The Writer of Borrowed Hearts
Stories That Beat With Others’ Emotions
An author unable to feel deep emotions began borrowing the hearts of strangers to write her stories.
People willingly lent theirs, knowing they'd be returned unharmed.
Her books grew wildly popular because readers could feel the authentic heartbeats between lines.
But when she borrowed the heart of an old widower, she found herself overwhelmed by grief too vast to return.
Instead, she rewrote his memories into a love story with a happier ending.
He smiled when he read it—and she finally felt something that was her own.

When Hobbies Become Life What Happens?
As we live our lives and do the things we enjoy, what do we call it? Do we call the things that we enjoy in life something like hobbies or are hobbies just a form of relaxation for us to clear our minds and not think of all the living we have to do to make our lives what they are for ourselves? Now you might not all understand that so what that means is, doing the things that make our lives enjoyable for ourselves, yes we all have to work to make money to live but life shouldn’t be all about working. If our lives are all about working, where do our hobbies come in? Or do they come in at all when that happens? Usually if we work ourselves to the bone we can feel it. However what happens we make our lives hobbiesque and live that way, do our hobbies become life? Yes they do and when that happens how does that make us feel? Well it makes us feel good and that life is livable and fun versus all work and no play. Not that hobbies and living is all about play but we can live our lives on our own terms this way.
