Always do what makes for a better story.
My Beef with Transitions:
You make everything so much harder. You even ruin some things. Okay. So I get that you piece two things together, but can you please do this in a better way? Sometimes you don’t really go smoothly. I always learned in English class that you were supposed to be smooth, simultaneously reaffirming what was just written and foreshadowing what’s about to come next—ya know, linking...

“Hey, I don’t even know what a soulmate is, do you?” “The person that makes you be the most you you could possibly be. “Maybe your soulmate is the person who forces your soul to grow the most”

“Oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower That was blooming to cheer him through life’s dreary hour Oh, I long to see him and regret the dark hour He’s gone and neglected this pale wildwood flower”
