welcome!

my start

so you're probably wondering how i got here, and why i continue to stay (especially if you personally know me hehe)...so let me tell you! it all started a longggg time ago (december 2023 to be exact) where i was in one of the worst eras of my life. i was only seven months out of high school and was not living the ideal dream. majority of my friend group had faded away, college was intense and unexciting, and i was battling the worst breakup i'd ever experienced. today, i'm very aware that that's usually what happens to most people once they graduate, and i know it sounds dramatic, but i genuinely believed the world was out to get me because my world was completely crumbled to ash. through the sleepless nights, walks in the rain, and sobbing to my mom, there was really only one thing that made any of it feel better; poetry. 

i had written poetry before, bought & read poetry books, and admired poems from others, but it was never something that was a big part of my personality. the people closest to me knew i wrote...and that was about it. after months of downfall, it was really all i had. i didn't have a friend group to lean on, didn't have a boyfriend to cry to, and honestly didn't have myself to feel motivated for anything. i started writing poems about everything; the ache in my chest, wishing he was there, wondering when it would get better, and in the span of two weeks i had already written just over 100 poems! eventually i started making the joke that i was going to release a book, and for someone who isn't big into reading & had never talked about writing a book prior, it was understandably not taken very seriously by those around me (or myself if i'm being honest). i started doing research online on how to set up a manuscript, how to self-publish, where to design cover arts, and before i knew it, i had set up an outline for my own poetry book! my theme at the time was very heartbroken, dazed, yearnful night, and i wanted to turn that into something that would be a strong mix of poetic and relatable. since i felt so isolated, i wanted my book to be something that the broken-hearted could find comfort in, something that would tell the lonely "you aren't alone, because i understand how it feels." and just like that, a delicate heart was born! getting ready to release it had me FULL of anxiety, to the point where i almost decided against it. regardless of the fear of what others would think or how well it would sell, i pushed through and made my poetry account, linked it to my main socials, and released the book all on my own. i was so proud of myself for doing something that felt so personal & vulnerable, and had gotten so much positive feedback on it that i decided to do it again, and again, and again! in the months following a.d.h, i released poems for the sun, wistful solitude of a poetic mind, to neptune & back, and am about to release my fifth book, an end with no beginning, at the end of july!

​

so to anyone who wonders why i do this; it's because i feel that it's what i'm meant to do. to express the words & feelings of how painful & beautiful this life can be, and to hopefully find the words that someone else cannot. i can feel in my bones that i was born to be a poet, and as much as i hope & dream that my work will be known one day, you knowing is enough. 

​

i hope you'll consider supporting my work & checking out my socials, because any amount of support truly means everything to me.

so much love,
