Hi, everyone!
My name is Faith, and I'm a self-involved, angsty teenage girl -and that's perfectly okay!
I'm a lover of poetry. I love to use it as a form of self-analysis. I enjoy challenging myself and recognizing my flaws, strengths and weaknesses. I am a firm believer in breaking one's self, in sacrificing one's pride, in order to better yourself. This is my main use of poetry, to further discover and understand myself and my emotions and to break away these falsehoods I hide behind so that I can become the best, strongest version of myself.
On the other hand, I'm also a fictionwriter. I like to create characters. Some are modeled after some of my own characteristics; some are characters who are strong in areas I only wish I was. Through fiction, I can escape my teenage life and teenage problems. Through fiction, I can be the author, and I can be in control. It's a very freeing feeling, especially as I grow to learn how much in life I truly cannot change.
And lastly, I really enjoy nonfiction -creative as well as journalistic. I've been working on a memoir actually. Through personal essays, I can break myself, just like in poetry. I can realize what moments in my life have defined me. I can come to terms with these scars life has forever left on me, and I can learn to see the beauty in them. It's a wonderful thing that I'd urge anyone to try.
Basically, guys, I am a writer. Any style, any genre, any setting. Everything about the art excites me, wakes me up, frees me. Writing is my therapy as well as my escape. Writing is my passion, something I could not live without.
And best of all, my writing is now something I would like to share with you. <3
Happy writing and reading, my friends. (:
