“Everybody on the planet, if looked at closely enough, is worthy of being loved with the most love that you could ever give.” - Philip Seymour Hoffman

Our submissions are open for another two weeks. Share your struggle with us.

Hope comes when you least expect it to. But not of its own accord. You gotta work at it. A high wire feat. Never easy. Always worth it. What hope have you found and made in these hard, dark days friends. Our submissions are open until 8/26. https://heroinchic.weebly.com

the wet ground"

Things aren't always so simple. But sometimes. Sometimes. It just is. We live for such moments, and a moment is also an eternity. Remember the simple joys too were/are there in our lives. We reconcile it with the pain and make of it what it can only ever be: the very work of our lives. Share that work with us. Submissions are open until Aug 26th. https://heroinchic.weebly.com
