"I have been a great critic of myself for most of my life, and I was darned good at it, deflating my own ego without the help of anyone else."
Words We Carry focuses around women's self-esteem issues. My essays focus on my own experiences I suffered from my younger years when I was left to feel inadequate and harbored a deep inferiority complex.
Being a memoir, the stories are told through my own struggles, and I share the methods I used to try and conquer my feelings of low self-esteem.
The stories progress with the impact that the residual damages have on our feelings of insecurity as we carry through into life and relationships.

The Catalyst (WIP)
This is not a redemption story. This is the unraveling of a mind built to survive, a life that refused to break until it did, and a woman who has never been just one thing. Told through fractured memories, relentless introspection, and the weight of choices that were never choices at all, this book explores the paradox of existence-what it means to offer without sacrifice, to be unbreakable by breaking, and to see the universe while knowing it will never truly see you back. A story about inevitability, identity, and the battle between Chaos and Order-within the world, within others, and most of all, within yourself. Trigger Warning: This book contains discussions of trauma, abuse, mental illness, suicidal ideation, and the brutal realities of existing in a world that demands you be something you are not. Read with care.

This story recounts the last three years of my life.Complete
An Unholy Sacrifice
The story is about me and my journey through life. It always seemed to me somewhat self-indulgent and egotistical for somebody to spend time writing about their life and then expect other people to read it. I am not a writer, something I think all my English teachers at school would have concurred with-I was a mathematician-but I felt obliged to write my life story after my inner world conspired to write a response to the problem of Being. My Philosophy of Being is original; it flowed from my life journey over ten years like a stream from its source. I knew that if I were to reference my primary source, I would have to write it first. Reluctantly, I set about writing my life story, but as I wrote it, I realised there were other reasons why I needed to complete it, which should become clear as you read it.Complete

Restless waves
This is a story about me. I loved, and I lost. Everything I could gather from the fragments of my memories, emotions, and reflections, I've poured onto the pages of this book. It's not just a tale of heartbreak or longing-it's an attempt to make sense of it all, to piece together what remains after life takes away what matters most. These pages hold my joys, my regrets, and everything in between. If you've ever loved deeply, if you've ever lost something irreplaceable, then perhaps you'll find a part of yourself here too.Complete
