Dear Reader,

First, thank you for reading!

Second, I occasionally write sensitive subjects into my stories. I am (obviously) not a licensed therapist. I am not a doctor. I have little more than a half completed bachelors degree. But, I have been through a lot. Writing is is a way I work through certain traumas and emotions. When I write something particularly harsh, whether it be violence, sex, drugs, et cetera, it comes from a place of experience.

I don't shy away from tough topics because this is real life happening in real time. I want to create a space where these conversations can be had and dealt with in a healthy manner. Hell only knows that I have had my fair share of dealing with trauma in a not-so-healthy way in the past.

I feel it is my duty to provide access to help since I am opening the door to certain triggers and emotions. I am located in the U.S. so these numbers are U.S. based.

National Sexual Assault Hotline (RAINN):

1-800-656-4673

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA):

I encourage you all to get help if you are in need. Drink some water. Touch some grass. Adopt a plant. Talk to someone. You are welcome to message me. Sometimes it is helpful to just get something off your chest. I won't give advice as I do not feel that is my place, but I will listen.

You are beautiful, worthy, and deserving of an amazing life!
