Biography

I had felt like I wasn't creative for years after writing so much beforehand so I stopped. I started back writing Dec 2023 posting motivational quotes on Instagram to ease myself back into writing creatively and now July 2024 I had gain the confidence to post myself saying my poetry. I'm venturing out of my comfort zone even more with considering posting my words on poetry blogs, but I feel like this is a great step for me to explore the creativity of poetry as a whole and expand my network with others who enjoy poetry as well.
