Everytime you whisper "Later"
Every time you whisper "later," a piece of your passion goes quiet.
You know this.
You crave stories that tear you open and stitch you back together one heartbeat at a time--ones that remind you you are still alive beneath the calm or chaos that is your life.
The Darkest Oath was written for that part of you. The one that's tired of letting beauty pass by while pretending you'll come back to it.
Stop sabatoging your own wonder, your own passion.
Take the story that is reaching for you.
Take the Oath.
