I am 20 years old and have been writing since I was 12 years old. I started as a story-writer, I'm more of a poet now. My stories have kinda fallen off and the poetry comes more easily now, more as a ventilation technique than anything. I hope that some people out there can make use of the poetry in their own mental health journies.

A favorite quote of mine:
"I am a writer. We are the people who stay up past 12 am finishing a story. We're misunderstood and underpaid. We spend our free time fixing plot bunnies. But, we bring to life characters and a world that society never knew about. Because we remember being like you, wanting to escape from reality. I am a Writer...And I love it."
