A personal essay about my father and the wide felt effects of substance abuse and mental illness on him and his loved ones. Thank you to anyone who finds this and reads it. CW/TW: this piece mentions substance abuse, mental health, and allusions to suicide. This has been reformatted for this site. The original as it was written can be viewed on my Tumblr (link in bio). This is complete, even if it isn't marked as such.

A raw, unfiltered story of a morning that started with quiet sadness, turned into white-hot irritation, and somehow ended in the middle of a wild, unplanned parking-lot fiesta. This is the chaos, the comedy, and the truth of what it feels like when life hits from every angle - and you still stand in it.

A quiet reflection on grief, memory, and learning to ask myself how I am

Turns out the real success story is the friends we make along the way! Cover Illustrated by IMI

my national 5 personal reflective essay. I will be updating the same thing to add bits in and to make it longer but I'm using this to get a first draft or two finished.

I wrote this back in Highschool as a personal essay of in a sense going through the process of letting go of a friend. I've grown up with a fair amount of relationships in my life (surprisingly into my adult years/j) where people tended to be manipulative. At some point, I get numb to it and coincidently find myself in such predicaments once again. But this here. This was the first time and where I would find my Highschool self found solace in this piece. I hope you like it. This is 100% original work.

A Personal Essay.

My youth was in green. Green trees, grass-stained kneecaps, frogs in the summertime. It's a strange time to look back on. It begs for nostalgia but keeps itself distant from the present. Reminiscing often feels otherworldly, as if someone else lived through your memories and you can only watch them fade into the past. Here are some essays and prose poems reflecting on childhood memories and exploring personal growth.

Its one thing living in a world of blame and self-delusion as to letting things happen as they do..

essentially a practice Journal. It's a strange amalgamation of just essays, short stories, and general schtuff.

A college essay

Trust me I don't come to Wattpad for personal stories but I enjoy writing them and I would like it if they made it farther than the drawer in my dress or my teacher's grade book. (Essays, Statements, Poetry, etc.)

A short personal essay about inner pain and self-acceptance. This is my first work.
