BLOG

I began to write poetry at the age of 13, to express my inner struggles. I wrote poems about beautiful magical places as well as dark pieces about depression and suicide.

My BLOG consists of many recent journal entries as I venture on my journey towards Mental Wellness. It also includes old writing pieces (poetry, short stories and writing snippets). In time, I hope to give my old writing pieces context and weave them together in a linear fashion so they make more sense! :)
