This is where the words live.
Some arrive as poems; raw, quiet, unfinished truths.
Others unfold as reflections: thoughts gathered from the ache, the growth, the joy, the everyday, and the recovery.
This is a holding place for the pieces of my soul I’ve chosen to put on display.
Be kind.
Read at your leisure.
I hope something here resonates with you.

Slowing down looks like holding space for myself. It looks like honouring the fact that I made a massive breakthrough and that I deserve to rest. It looks like slowing down and attending to my own needs. It looks like sitting at a picnic table with the cool undertones of a September breeze, listening to…

Today was a wild emotional overload and I don’t know if it was because of you or not. Today, I think perhaps you were just the match that lit a fuse already set to blow. Today was the first time I thought of how I would do it. Today, I had to drive myself somewhere…

I have always tried to walk with strength, to meet storms with grace,to carry every battle alone and pretend the weight was feather-light. In the past, I reached for help – to family, friends, the person I loved.But their…

I am apprehensive of how today will go. I know in my mind that I am safe, I am surrounded by those who will stand beside me if I need it. And yet, this fear has me in a choke hold, stealing the breathe from my lungs. I am afraid. I am afraid of what…

I am feeling dissonance within myself today, and I have been struggling to identify what is truly going on in my mind. There is this static, where my feelings and thoughts jumble. I am a verbal processor, which usually means I need to discuss the same things repeatedly to fully understand them myself. This is…

There is a level of serenity you find when you embrace your depth as a beautiful thing, when you are no longer afraid that others will drown in the ocean of your soul. When you accept that you are overflowing with richness, connect to your spirituality on a cosmic level and truly open your eyes…

My little dandelion seedYou were my wishAnd for the briefest moment, you came trueBut just as fast as you came, You drifted away on the breeze. My little flower that will never bloomWith tiny hands I will never holdA laugh I never heardSmiles I will never seeCries I will never get to soothe My little…

The last two months have been so incredibly transformative. From injury to heartbreak, I felt buried in a grief I was unsure would ever end. Through community, my chosen family, those who seen me and extended a hand, I have come to find fulfillment. To be loved by people who see you for more than…
