Hi, I'm Nicky.
I write about the things I don't always say out loud - softness, masculinity, mental health, work, longing, healing, and the strange, ordinary weight of being human. I'm pansexual, a little soft-masc, and learning that vulnerability isn't weakness - it's clarity.
Most of my writing starts in quiet places: late nights, parked cars, breakroom thoughts, the space between who I am and who I'm becoming. I'm not here to perform perfection. I'm here to be honest.
If you've ever felt too much, or not enough, or somewhere in between - you're probably in the right place.
