Here since 2009

I’m a poet, you can find posts about my writing here and personal posts here

Links to my published works are here

When I’m not writing you can find me reading, hiking, gardening, and doing witchy shit like reading tarot. Horror movie enthusiast. Watercolor and embroidery artist. Big into junk journaling and cooking. Just trying to live out my best life while maintaining my activism.

Would love to be friends so asks and DMs are open, but be respectful because I’m swift with the block button if you cross my boundaries

This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.

Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good".

There’s something healing about creating a home you genuinely love being in.

I am a mosaic of everyone I have ever known and loved and touched and I find fragments of them in my playlists and how I make my tea. we may not know each other any more but we will stay connected like this. I hope a fragment of me is with you too.

healed enough to close the door, but human enough to still look at it sometimes

YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN HANDLE CRITIQUE. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN EMBRACE BEING TOLD YOU WERE WRONG. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH UNPLEASANT TASKS. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN DELIVER DISAPPOINTING NEWS. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU KNOW HOW TO BE DISAGREED WITH. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN BE CORRECTED. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU CAN BE TOLD YOU MESSED UP. YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY. YOU ARE ABLE TO DO HARD THINGS.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m ever missed by those who don’t speak to me anymore.
