Hi friends and fellow writers! My name is Brooke and I am so thrilled that you have found your way to my blog, colors of quiet (formerly, target verified). I started this blog during the darkest time of my life, and it has been a pleasure to write for it through so many different seasons for nearly 10 years now. I hope you are encouraged by what you read here, and thank you very much for stopping by!

You can read more of my past writing on Thought Catalog and The Rebelution.
