I write the kind of stories that sting a little, the ones that keep you up at night thinking about things you'd rather not. My words are messy, heavy, and sometimes dark, but that's where I live. Poetry, short stories, anything that bleeds a little truth, I put it all out there. I don't sugarcoat feelings; I try to feel them fully, and maybe, just maybe, someone reading will feel less alone in theirs.

To everyone who reads this: you matter more than you might feel right now. I would stay up all night talking to you if I thought that would stop you from hurting yourself. That's not drama - it's me being honest.

I'm not a counselor, but I'm someone who remembers what it's like to be lost at night. If you ever need to unload, vent, or just have someone say, "I'm here," send me a message. I'll stay and listen. I also want you to be safe: if you're in immediate danger, please call or text 988 (US) or go to your local emergency number - professionals can act right away. If you're elsewhere and need local crisis numbers, I can help find them. 

You don't have to pretend. You don't have to be brave alone.
