“You can’t change what broke you, but you can choose what builds you. Healing starts the moment you stop rehearsing pain and start reclaiming peace.”

“You are good," Bufort said, "but you could be great. It's not enough to manipulate your audience's feelings. You must make them believe that there's a reason you are the one telling this story. You have to let a bit of yourself bleed into your work." And therein lay the problem: you couldn't bleed without feeling the sting of the cut.”

“The Sacking of Grief by Stewart Stafford Thou speaketh of grief as a funeral cowl lashed, When 'tis a thorny, haunting cuckoo's nest smashed, I wouldst cast it off, fain if choice be mine, And not necessity's wickedness stretched supine. Peace's changeling to restless beds doth creep, In conjoined prayer to restoreth salvation sleep. To crawleth awake in dawn's incessant weight, Can I tame this sleepless lion and walk it straight? I confesseth sins, but the blemish remains, Call it regret that stalks these guiltless brains, Would a surgeon's blade cut me free of it? And I in luscious orchards, the solaced fruits bit. O, in slumbering dusk the leonine roar doth cease, And the pathway home heralds sweet release. © 2025, Stewart Stafford. All rights reserved.”
