My name is Cailin. I'm a small town Minnesota tom boy. My childhood consisted of many different phases which you will see throughout my writing. What inspires me to write is my heightened emotions. Growing up, my days were riddled with anxiety and constant worrying. Happy head is bouncy, excited, and giddy. Angry head is depressed, violent, and panicky. Each day is a constant struggle with both.  I suppress my emotions into a tight ball that rests in my chest. After I left my parents house I began experiencing symptoms of a terrible disorder... An eating disorder.  My main struggle source is my eating disorder. It is the pain I feel in my heart everyday and my best friend that walks beside me. My E.D makes everything wrong, right and everything black, white. It feeds my anxiety and depression, brutally attacking me from the inside out. I am human. I laugh, cry, and feel just like you do. My stories and poems are relatable because they're personal pieces from the depths of my soul. Slowly, I'm figuring out who I am. Hopefully putting pen to paper will clear my cloudy head. I definitely welcome thoughts, comments, and feedback
