If something here feels familiar, it's probably because it was written with care.
I've always been drawn to the spaces between words. The moments that stay after conversations end. The kind of feelings that don't ask for attention but don't leave either.
I write slowly. Stories built around restraint and the kind of connection that doesn't rush to fix things. Just chooses to stay, even when it isn't easy.
I found my way back to writing during a difficult time. It wasn't about ambition. It was something to hold on to. A way to make sense of things I'd learned to keep to myself.
I'm not very interested in spectacle. I pay more attention to what happens after.
