Intro

Hey people, I've been writing (mainly poems and memoirs) for a long time. Probably since I was a kid. I never cared to share since it feels too vulnerable (a lot of my writing is vulnerable), but I realize when I read other people's writing/poems/songs it makes me feel less alone. Plus, I love reading things that are painful, emotional, eye-opening, things of that sort. 

I will preface this by saying that grammar is NOT my strong suit AT ALL. I'm working on it though.

I'm a very sentimental and emotional person. I like "deep" things and introspection and perspective, philosophy, life wisdom, and love. Typing all of that out made me want to vomit. 

I have a hard time accepting how emotional I am and how much my emotions take a toll on me. I feel like a sponge sometimes. It's been a process of learning how to love such a complicated brain. Writing has helped me so much. I'm at a great place now and I can confidently say that I love myself more each day. That's who I am and I love her for it.  

I got a lot of inspiration from These Precious Days: Essays by Ann Patchett. In this book, Patchett writes a collection of essays that represent significant moments in her life. It is beautifully written. 

Lastly, I use writing as a tool to represent landmarks in my life. I want to remember what I felt, how I viewed a situation, and what I thought then, documentation you can say. Writing helps me track growth but it also just helps me remember and understand. I'm nostalgic by nature and you will see that translated through my posts. 

I hope you enjoy it and I hope you feel seen If no one has told you, I am proud of you
