Hi

Lazy Saturday at home

Writing is the one thing that I can get totally lost in. When I write, I lose all sense of time. The world slips away and I find myself going on an endless journey. I venture into my past. I ruminate and unpack previous events. I also daydream about what I want my future to look like.

Writing allows me to explore my ever-changing moods. I can articulate my emotions. I allow myself to weave my hurts, fears, pain and rejections into art. In doing so, I experience a deep catharsis. I often feel cleansed as well as relieved after a writing session.

I find that I'm most honest when I write. I'm probably my most authentic self when I write. Poetry and prose are my favorite genres to write. My collection of poems are my fortress. They are my peace and my sanity. I'm playing around with short stories as well.

For most of my life, I have been reluctant to share my writing. I allowed fear to stand in the way of sharing my words. Now, I'm choosing to be okay with being vulnerable. I feel much more confident in myself and in my writing. If by chance, my content resonates with just a few souls, then this will all be worth it.
