Biography

I started writing in middle school because I had to, and I was good at it. I kept writing in high school because I came to enjoy it. I continued writing in my undergraduate studies because I took an amazing class to learn more about it. And then I stopped. I stopped writing because a part of me died. I fell into a depression. I became someone I'm not. I was hopeless. I was lost. January 1, 2017, I began writing again. I started writing because I needed a way out. I kept writing because it pulled me deep out of myself and back into this beautiful world. I continued writing because it healed me and rekindled my love for words. And to this day, I still write. Not because I feel lost, or because I need to escape, or because I want to show others. I write to bring me back to life. I write because I love it. I write for me. That's why I created this profile: I challenged myself this year to share my work with other people and to no longer hide behind a journal. I am a happy person and I love seeing the positive side to everything in this beautiful world, but I have so many thoughts that I need to share. If you're still reading this, I would love to read your thoughts, comments, criticisms, recommendations, suggestions, and notes on my work. I will appreciate every single word! Also, I am a civil (geotechnical) engineer, I love the mountains and the beach (don't make me choose), I love watching and playing sports, I enjoy taking time off of work when I can, I love my family dearly, I am so grateful for my friends' presence in my life, and I am thrilled to be a new member of this community! Thank you for reading this far, I truly appreciate it!
