The Hardest Person to Forgive Is You

It’s easy to say “forgive and move on” when it’s not you who has to face the person who lied, who hurt you, who made distance feel like survival. But what if the person who hurt you… is YOU? I came…

Hey, I know I’ve been kinda quiet lately... moving to a new state has been all-consuming. Posts haven’t been consistent, but I do have a new one up today and I'm working on another for this week.

Emotional Maturity Isn’t Clean, But Damn If It Doesn’t Matter

I’ve been sitting with something my dad said the other day. We were having one of those talks where you’re just… letting someone vent. No fixing. No smoothing it over. Just showing up and lis…

New blog post is up! Sorry I’ve been quiet lately—sometimes I just need to step back, reflect, and do something else for a bit to get back into writing. Feels good to be back. 🖤

When Emotions Make You Feel… Weird

Lately I’ve been sitting with this question—why do emotions feel so damn complicated for me? Why do I care so much, yet freeze up when it’s time to respond? A friend of mine, Stephanie, said someth…

I’m just a baby writer, but my girlfriend’s mom—who’s a published author—is loving my stories. All of them. She said I have talent. I’m screaming (in a shy, happy way).

I love when friends & family share little things that end up in my stories. Like my girlfriend's house-invading rat... she’s terrified but doesn’t want to kill it. I thought, "Tell your son that’s Scamper the Night Watch. He’ll nibble his toes if he gets out of bed!" Now Scamper is in my novel!

Your Version Isn’t My Reality

People love to say they “know” you. They’ll swear up and down they see the real you. But what they really mean is… they see the version they made up in their heads. At some point, I realized I wasn…

Scrivener has really helped me out—especially with my ADHD. Having everything in one place just makes it way easier to manage. I’m starting fresh and actually feeling good about it this time. It’s a lot of work, but I’m ready for it. -3 of 3-

I’ve been working on my first novel for two years, and yep… I’ve decided to start over. Sounds wild, but honestly, it feels like the best choice. -cont 2 of 3-

Wooo, major props to you novel writers...this stuff is no joke! I’ve always been more of a free verse & flash fiction kind of person, so writing a novel feels like running a marathon with a backpack full of plot twists and emotional baggage. It's a lot of work, well for me at least. - cont. 1 of 3

If so, I’ll be posting them to my blog, so just pop on over there when I start posting them if you want. I’ll post to social media once the post is live so you can check it out.

Would anyone be interested in creative writing prompts? I’m making some writing prompts to use for myself to practice my writing, and I thought maybe others would enjoy them for their own practice or simply for fun.

Not Broken, Just Late to the Definition

I used to think I was broken. Turns out, I was just wired different—and nobody ever told me. This is about growing up undiagnosed, misunderstood, and finally finding the words that made everything …

Just a lil shoutout—thanks to everyone who's visited my blog, hit like, subbed, or even lurked like a silent ninja 👀💜 Y’all don’t know how much it means to not feel like my words are just getting lost in the wind. And for real, I appreciate all the love on socials too. Thank you for seeing me.

Right? That hit me—especially the part about brain types. Took me way too long to realize I wasn’t broken, just wired different.
