hi all, the first of the last few poems that will be published in "how to build a home" is now out!! it's called "watch your tongue," and it represents how i've been feeling about the world recently. it doesn't completely match the usual themes of my work, but the words usually write me, not the other way around, and these words demanded to be said. check it out if you have the time :)

my favorite friendships are the ones where nothing changes even after months of not seeing each other. my relationship with wattpad is no different. for the millionth time, hello again! i don't have the largest community on here but i'm excited to be back among the few people i do regularly interact with during my bursts of activity. i've been undergoing lots of small and big changes in my life, i've faced reinvention and retribution, i've made friends and banished foes. very dramatic but what is a writer if not hopelessly theatrical. 
          all this is just to say that i am ending the poetry collection i've been working on! i feel like i've entered a new chapter in my life and "how to build a home" no longer feels right. be that as it may, i still have a few poems i never published that belong in "how to build a home," so they will be out soon enough! if you've read this far, thank you, and i hope the new year has been treating you well!! :)

Hello there! 
          Would you be down for a read 4 read? 

helloooo, long time no see! apologies. if summer seasonal depression isn't a thing yet, i've definitely just invented it. but i always feel better when i'm writing and i'm happy to be back! better yet, i come bearing gifts: i just published a short poem ("hunger") i wrote a month ago! and i have more on the way :) much love to everyone who has voted, commented, and followed while i was away! hope everyone is doing well :)

my next poem, “home tree/telomeres” is here! short and sweet compared to my last haha. i’m a biology nerd as well as a lover of words, so this poem was born out of my interest in telomeres, which are essentially sections at the end of your DNA that shorten as you age. when your telomeres run out, the cell is unable to function and it dies. it’s a microscopic, constantly-occuring, irreversible, and unreachable process that both boggles me and gives me anxiety! i want to delve more into that feeling in future poems, but for now here is my latest :)

i've been writing and rewriting the same poem for about two weeks. hopefully that means it will be good or maybe it will just be very very long. time will tell!

Hi! I love ur theme so much!!! So cute!
          
          I was wondering, if you're in need of a book to read, need something inspiring or are just into poetry, that you could check out my new book 'Transition'

          Love to hear your voice.
