The thread
Its the thread of a thought. It creeps in even When you are not expecting it. It weaves through, your brain into the air. Even when What What we bare is too much to share. You go. you flow with the ebs of the melody Letting it carry you into another Day. A day with new navigations. new stories Each one different from the last. you can't help but keep thinking of the past. LOOK part it all and move forward without fear. Fear and anguish in it it is in which we'stunted in what we can or could have been. Lxx

Love the structure and how thin some of the line lengths are and appear to emulate the idea of thread.

Since the day you were born I have lived with an inability to catch my breath, gasping for air at every new moment or milestone, every new danger or lesson, sometimes a day or sometimes only a minute or two apart. Im in awe of your accomplishments and even more astounded at your kindness. Im forever enamored with your heart, enamored with your energy towards your emotions and your life; I’m enveloped in the way you process your perspective of me and your opinion. The purest ecstasy emanating from the blatant happiness on your face, the smile I’d cross oceans for, the smile that if only briefly, refills these oxygen deprived lungs, the smile that makes breathing feasible. Nowadays, our time is stretched microscopically thin, stretched thin like an elastic, tension on either side of our parallel threatening to surge back to our original comfort, snapping back to comfortable form. Nowadays, the mandated norm is seasonal visits instead of accompanying dad to work and then back home thereafter, a routine that favors our time and relationship. Nowadays third party people’s decide how my time and relationship with you grows or diminishes, decides how much financial contribution is fit for your mother and I to pay. Nowadays family law labels our leisure’s, hobbies, and holiday schedules accordingly. Of your eight years of life, I’ve drowned multiple rooms, Kleenex’s, and shoulders with my struggles and strife, sniffling away tears and turning always from spectators and family. Of your eight years of life, I have been blessed to have fully been a part of four or five of your years, blessed to build my home and credit, blessed to still battle for my time with you. When you were five, I almost took my last breath, a mistake left me in a head-on collision and a handful of injuries to navigate. You and your mom had moved back into the house and I had been in my head, overwhelmed and under confident, unsure and again afraid, afraid of my body’s damage being irreparable, afraid of the limits there could now be on my shoulders literally and figuratively.
BOOK FORMATTING!!!
Many authors spend weeks, months, and sometimes years writing a manuscript. They carefully build their characters, develop ideas, shape stories, and pour emotions into every chapter. After finishing the final sentence, most people feel the hardest part is over. But there is one important element many authors unintentionally overlook, and that is book formatting. Book formatting is often treated like a simple finishing touch, when in reality it plays a major role in the reader's experience. A professionally formatted book does much more than make pages look organized. It creates comfort, improves readability, and gives your work the presentation it deserves. Think about opening a book and immediately noticing strange spacing, inconsistent fonts, paragraphs that feel crowded, chapter headings that do not align properly, or text sitting too close to the edge of the page. Even if the story itself is amazing, those small details quietly affect the reading experience. Readers may not always say, "This book is poorly formatted," but they notice how the book feels while reading it. Good formatting allows your words to breathe. It creates smooth transitions from page to page. It helps readers focus on your story, your message, and your ideas instead of being distracted by layout issues. Formatting is not simply about appearance. It is about functionality. It is about guiding the reader naturally through your work without interruption. Proper formatting creates balance and professionalism that supports the quality of the content you worked so hard to create. Imagine spending years building a beautiful house and then arranging the rooms in a way that makes it difficult for people to move comfortably. The structure exists, but the experience feels incomplete. Your manuscript is your message, but formatting is how that message is presented to the world. A great story deserves more than good writing. It deserves a professional reading experience. Never underestimate the power of formatting because readers remember not only what they read, but also how your book made them feel. 📖✨

I love when books are purposely formatted strangely to add creative flair and emphasis to characterization or influence of the speaker over the topic. See books like: “Long Way Down” by Jason Reynolds or “When Dad killed Mom” by Julius Lester.
