Poetry & Journal
Welcome to a space of raw honesty and authentic reflection. Here you'll find poems and journal entries from different seasons of my life moments of vulnerability, growth, and becoming. These are the words that helped me soothe, the reflections that changed me, the truths I needed to speak.
I believe we never truly heal; we soothe. The pain will always be there, but we learn coping skills what I call soothing.
I invite you to sit with these words. Let them speak to your heart. See yourself in these pages. And know that in reading them, you're not alone in what you feel.
Why I Write
I write to feel emotions that I once left on the doorsteps of my life. I write to communicate to the outside world. I write because my journals will never judge me, never betray, never drop my secrets into social gatherings of different opinions. I write because I am passionate about the craft of storytelling, it looks good on me.

Self Parenting
An array of emotions flutters over my spirit, cascades of trauma is all that this body knows secretly, keeping the score after each Traumatic event. There, there sweet child I whisper to myself.
Did you know that self-parenting was a real thing? Well, I know I must sooth the split ends. I must pack the blanket tight.
I must write down every thought and scream every word. I must correct bad habits. I must tell myself you’re enough.
