Mission Statement:

I might never become your favorite author, and I don’t always believe in happy endings.
I don’t know how to play the game, and I don’t want to learn.
But I promise this:
Every story I write will have pieces of my soul embedded in the pages.
Every character I breathe life into will exist forever in my heart.
And I will love my art with an aching intensity that will never fade or cease.
I’m a work in progress, but aren’t we all?

Quotes by Kaitlyn Oruska (?)

“I’m not going to answer that because it’s ridiculous. I love you, Lainey. I've loved you from the day I met you, if not before, and I've loved you every day since. How could you even doubt that?”
― Kaitlyn Oruska, The Consequences of Forever

“I loved him in that moment more than I thought possible, but it would end when this night did. We might chase the phantoms of these feelings for a while afterward, but in the end we’ll concede defeat and move on. Nothing is meant to last past its novelty. Some things are too painful to chase after their expiration date.”
― Kaitlyn Oruska, Wishing Well
