Another girl in her mid-twenties who decided that the thoughts in her head are worth more than being drowned by bodies of waters.

intention.

I wasn’t listened to much as a child (and perhaps this currently persists in my adulthood), so turning to writing was a natural progression. The page does not ignore, though it can sometimes judge, and I found respite in toying with words to describe the environments and emotions I ebb in. Mostly, I write to remember. On special occasions, I write to forget.

influences.

Oscar Wilde. Sally Rooney. Maggie Nelson. Fran Lebowitz. And all the other amazing writers around me whose works deserve more love than this world can suffer.

invitation.

Putting words down on paper can be a lonely journey, but I’m hoping you’re willing to keep me company and watch the ink be laid down?
