“The Moments That Make Us” Instagram Contest

By To Write Love on Her ArmsAugust 4, 2014

A few weeks ago, we announced that poet and photographer Tyler Knott Gregson would donate $1 to TWLOHA for every presold copy of his upcoming book Chasers of the Light. Today, we’re excited to share that Tyler is doubling that donation to $2 for every presold copy.

Many of Gregson’s poems capture small moments, and he often highlights the beauty in the ordinary. Eager to learn more, we asked him what moments from his life carried the most meaning:

“I was told that, when it comes to writing this, sometimes it is helpful to focus on a single situation or moment from my life where I was able to overcome something, where I emerged hopeful and moved forward.

But there are too many moments to just pick one. There are too many situations where we chose hope instead of despair, love instead of hate, or moving forward instead of stopping. We are the moments we have endured, the laughter we have shared, and the hope we have chosen each and every single day. It’s the culmination of these moments that shape us into the people we are.

Like Tyler, we believe that it is these moments that make us who we are. This week, we want to celebrate just that. moments-that-make-us-contest
