I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and incur my own abhorrence.

The best piece of writing advice I can give is that you should strive to be sincere rather than original.
You can't force originality. Originality will arise as a natural consequence of sincerity. Make the story completely and apologetically yours, and originality will come by virtue of it being your story.

If only I had known the meaning of your flower 🌸 Every wish and gentle intention hidden within. Just think of the life I could've had: Filled with patience, grace, and guidance. ✨ As a poet, I got lost in the hurry, but I still craved the whispers of the night. Each petal on your flower symbolized a dream I was too afraid to share, every moment missed in the rush of daily life. During the day, the sun's bright light made it hard to see the peace I desired, but at night, the stars revealed secrets that touched my soul. Distracted by writing words and verses, I wanted the simplicity of a meaningful life, much like the delicate essence of your flower.
God Is Near To Those Pray Sincerely
One way to be near to God is to call on Him sincerely. To call on God is to pray. To call on God is to seek His presence in your life no matter the circumstance. God does not run away from you because of your problems, there is no problem too big for God to solve. Add calling on God to your daily task list.
“The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.”—Psalms 145:18 NLT
