This is touching and heartbreaking at the same time.
Can you contact the original author and just tell her that this reminds me of a quote?

Trust is a mirror. Once it's broken you can glue it back together. But you will always see the cracks

Thanks for this!

Your secret writer service is really cool. First I'm seeing it because I've been trying to do the ironic hipster thing and ignore trending stuff, you know because I'm cool like that.
Decided to pull my head out of my ass though, and now I'm realizing I have missed a lot by being that way.
I actually came here, because I was searching all postings for authors, writers etc. Just to see what kind of quality content we already have.

I've started a new tag "storytime" that exists as a way of collecting short stories. The current steemit format doesn't lend itself well to ereaders and tablets so in a few weeks I'm going to release an app to gather anything in storytime and treat it like a library.

As an author I thought you might like to know that.
I've published the first story, mostly so I can see how it looks on the app, but I'm also hoping it gains some traction just on it's own merits. I would be absolutely thrilled if you would stop by and read

Let me know your thoughts on it. @casandrarose and I are considering expanding it into a steemit exclusive series in it's own right if there are enough people interested.

Anyways, thanks you have some awesome stuff. I can't believe I cheated myself out of it before.
