As an aspiring writer, I feel certain feelings and I turn them into stories that could inspire my readers to feel that feeling.
It's like a capsule, or a pill, that my readers can take, labelled "sweet happiness" or "rushing anger".
But I've never written a romance before. I can't say I haven't taken someone else's pill labelled "heartbreaking joy", but I myself don't know how to write something like that.
Recently, though, I found myself sitting at my desk, my bed, anything that could serve as a table, pen in hand, paper blank. Thinking and pondering over how to write a romance. How to take the feelings and turn them into another bright pill that would preserve and share the memory.
How does one show something pure, when the purity somewhat lies in the fact that it's humble? That it's not on display for the world to see?
If I were to label this pill it wouldn't be "belongingness". It wouldn't even be "security". Because I am secure in my identity in Christ, and I belong with Him. I wouldn't know what to name this pill, felt for an actual person.
It's a new thing, and I'm excited to learn more about it. And maybe one day, I will be able to put it into words and write my romance, but as of now, I'll just study it from afar.
