Just like every human ever, I often grapple with my mental health. I have been since I was born when my parents who I love dearly gave me the gift of four psychological disorders (the last two were on my own). Throughout my entire life, my creative outlet and coping mechanism has been creative writing - whether it be prose or, within the last few years, poetry. 

​

On the blog will be posts spanning from poetry to personal anecdotes to mental health discussions. I am definitely not a therapist, and I am not here to offer practical advice - but what I can do is write how I feel not only as a source of venting but also in the hopes someone can relate and, maybe, feel less alone. 

​​

I don't have many posts out yet, but hopefully as they roll out, my main message will become clearer: it is okay to struggle, and you and your emotions are valid; it's possible to climb out of a pit so deep you were starting to feel a little hot; it's okay to express your emotions in a world that tries to invalidate them, to use your voice in a world that tries to subdue them, and to be yourself in a world that tells you who you should be.
