Healing, overcoming, and growth. — I started on this platform in January 2022. No intentions other than to apply myself, become consistent, and see where it goes. One story becomes two.

My Writing Began to Depress Me

I had to come to a hard stop. — Writing can be freeing, therapeutic, and healing. We say the things we need to say to forge connections and find our way.

Believe, imagine, and play. — Lately, life has me feeling jaded. Less trusting. A little pessimistic. I miss the innocence of believing and imagining. No fear or stress. Worries be gone.
