Since the Middle Ages, people have been writing about angels. Angelology was actually at one point a scholastic discipline.

One is but a shade of the other.

When we are no longer capable of love, we are no longer alive.

I don't think there are actually any theologians practicing angelology or studying angels anymore, but it's definitely in a lot of religious literature. It's still out there, and people are still interested. Even in the more secular way, books about angels are everywhere.

I understood that the stories we believe have power over us. They work into our bodies and minds and change us from inside out. What if one day these stories become something stronger, more real, than fairy tales?

I taught myself to write in order to understand who I was and so yes, writing was an act of self-actualization in the beginning.
