“My writing isn’t always about me, but it is me. It’s my pain. My hidden emotions. It’s the way I see life—both cruel and beautiful.”

Alice Warner has always been a loner, determined to leave behind the expectations and attention of others. But regardless of her intent, she had caught the eye and heart of Mitch Davis.
Although they attend the same school, they're from two different worlds, something that is easily seen and not so easy to escape.
But as their secret comes to light, they will see just how different their worlds, and now futures, really are. And will be forced to face the reality of what that means for them both.

“Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader – not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon.”
E. L. Doctorow








































![❤️ Main takeaways from The Passion Paradox ❤️
**Six key principles for the mastery mind-set**
1.) Drive from within 2.) Focus on the process 3.) Don’t worry about being the best—worry about being the best at getting better 4.) Embrace acute failure for chronic gains 5.)Patience 6.) Be here now
**Self awareness is the only countervailing force strong enough to match the extreme inertia of passion. Possessing it ensures that you can thoughtfully evaluate your passions; that you don't look back twenty years from now and regret how you spent your time.
**Keep your identity separate from your accomplishments.
**Enduring motivation comes from three basic needs: Competency, autonomy, and relatedness.
**As humans we tell stories to ourselves to get through events in our lives. They are either fixed (negative) ones, or growth (positive) ones.
**Mindfully living with a passion can be the key to a life well lived.

"This means we should set aside the time, space, and energy to give our respective passions our all. It doesn't need to be all day, every day, but we do need to prioritize this time and make it sacred."
"Maybe the good life is not about trying to achieve some sort of illusory balance. Instead, maybe it's about pursuing your passions fully and harmoniously, but with enough self-awareness to regularly evaluate what you're not pursuing as a result-and make changes if necessary."
"When fear dies, you begin to live."
"Whether [passion] is a gift or a curse, that is largely up to you."](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/400463677_867760818035562_5499411694876075101_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=yIbKb6iCTuYQ7kNvwFEzLxl&_nc_oc=AdkMQcHnjctuaMLyyM0alTf5XBTtLLZHvnvZLS_Ge4DJJzH9GCEun1WGNQNJb7lDlUU&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=27FxbQFU2suL3YEFX65vIg&oh=00_AfPvSJA-VcHNRTocPvg69SQ5zXLj4oGhVJIl-COr1yOnGA&oe=685279B2)
