Putting small things into words can create connection - The Reader recognizes a feeling or a moment that seemed too insignificant to dwell in til they discovered the writer was dwelling in it too. In my experience, little can be translated from the life’s monumental joys and tragedies. An extraordinary love rendered ordinary when you name it. Or else the dull, incurable ache that a life could have gone differently, but didn’t.
