  • Kryptonite

    Kryptonite

    He was the warmth I needed to mend the cold over my heart. His touch sparked something inside that I’ve never felt before. It was as if all my life I lived in a melancholy state of mind and I’m just now noticing that there could be more. He came into my life and I… Continue reading

    I Wish You Nothing but the Best

    I wish you nothing but the best.

    Influence

    My head bobs side to side to the rhythm of the music. The more I drink the less I think about my anxiety. At some point, I don’t feel anxious at all. The cool drink slides down my throat again                                                                      And again                                                                                      And again. I don’t smoke cigarettes, but a few puffs keep… Continue reading

About Me

Hi there! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my blog. I write fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between.

In my free time, I like to keep busy with a variety of hobbies. I’m an avid reader and writer, I love to knit, crochet, and embroider.

At the end of the day, though, my main priority is spending time with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling or just spending quality time together, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by those I care about.
