BLOG
My Blog consists of many recent entries (poetry, advocacy) as well as old writing pieces (poetry, short stories, and writing snippets).
I began to write poetry at the age of 14, to express my inner struggles. I wrote poems about beautiful magical places as well as dark pieces about depression and suicide.
I still write nearly every day as a healthy outlet for my emotions. In time, I hope to give all of these blogs context, weaving them together in a linear fashion so they make more sense! :)

The Kind of Love I Seek
“I want a provider, a protector, and a leader — a dominant man. Emotional maturity and effective communication. I want mental stability. I want to be nurtured — cherished. I want self-awareness, healthy obsession, and safety. A man who willingly chooses me every time, every day, as I do him. I want devotion. I want reverence. I want love rooted in respect, trust, and mutuality. I want the Wolf.” ~An adaptation by Amy Frank. Original Author Unknown. Image by ChatGPT

How I Got To Where I Am Now
The post being shared with this blog (which is at the bottom of this page) is about romance, however I feel it can be applied to other close relationships as well. 🌱🌦️ Someone recently asked me what I did to be where I am in my recovery. I replied: “I shifted my mindset. I stopped looking at my diagnosis of bipolar disorder as the result of brain chemistry and started looking at what was going on in my life leading up to those experiences and episodes. I no longer view my a

On Chivalry, Trauma, and Trust
As I was walking home tonight, I was pondering the concept of “old fashioned” romance, or chivalry. I, personally, am a fan. For me, it aligns with my ideal relationship. In the past, I was codependent. I was a damsel in distress, meek and timid. I was a shell of a human being after years of trauma. When I left my fiancé in January of 2020 (my last long term serious relationship), I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know what my interests were. I didn’t have any life skills. I

The Eye of the Hurricane (Poetry)
✨⛈️ NEW POETRY & ART ⛈️✨ The Eye of the Hurricane By Amy Frank (March 13, 2026) Long before she came here, they knew that she’d be born. They blessed her with a protective cloak— The power of a storm. Like a dragon who guards the tower, where the princess lies in bed, only a knight of noble heart may reach her sleeping head. In modern times, where dragons were turned into a myth, the trees and plants then blessed her with the powers of the Earth. They gave her inner thunder—

Lessons in Love
This is to the younger women out there (or really to any woman and person as these wounds aren't gender based). Please learn from my mistakes so you don't have to go through the same pains that I have: If someone exhibits traits of severe jealousy, including monitoring behaviours and accusations; if you set physical boundaries about how much time you'd like to pass before you're ready to engage in sexual relations and they push back: Run. Any person that truly values you will

2026 Dating Checklist (Shared Values)
It can be scary to ask somebody out on a date, especially if you really like or admire that person. It can feel vulnerable to expose one’s feelings in that way, particularly for men who, societally, have often been disconnected from their feelings since childhood. The possibility of rejection can feel intimidating—even for the most confident among us. Because of this, I’ve decided to create a checklist. Here’s a quick way to find out whether or not we’re compatible, before yo

Lessons Learned (past two years — Romance and Healing)
Facebook Memory (October 12, 2023): “F*cking broken. Deceived. Used. Sobbing. But I’m still standing. Ain’t nothing gonna take me off this path of healing. I have worked so hard to be where I am. I’m not going back. Here’s to the broken hearted. To the one’s who continue to give love even when they only receive pain in return. I feel you. I see you. I am you. Much love 🫂💔” — Sometimes the memories that come up on Facebook are painful while other times the lack of pain shows
