Finding Some Light Amidst the Gloom

We all have our ups and downs, our happy days, and our seemingly perpetual hardships. Some of us have great difficulty finding joy when the world around us spins into chaos, and the cosmos stretches into such a dark abyss.

I’m not one for romanticizing bullying in any shape or form, but the author gives clear warning that the story gets dark. I’m guessing she was tapping into some kind of dark fantasy. I mean, many of us have had a fantasy about turning a bad boy good ...more

Quotes by Leah Reise  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There are many narratives from documented histories that are based on real events, of course, but they were fantastically embellished by the wills and wishes of those who wrote them. In my opinion, Edrea, biblical scriptures are only brilliantly written stories with inserted historical events to give people reason to believe them, just like any religion of any particular place on the human timeline.”
Leah Reise, The Beauty in Darkness: A Vampire Story

“Rena’s Journal: By Florence G R   Life is mysterious and unknowing Which makes it exciting and spontaneous Life is about being yourself Being in the moment Being strong and fearless Finding what’s really important, what you love, and living for it    Everything happens for a reason What’s now is what’s supposed to be It doesn't have to make sense It will never be perfect or broken   When you share life with the world The connections you make last forever Teach you more and more about yourself   Be adventurous and explore the now What’s ahead in life will fall into place Keep your eyes open And anything is possible”
