Bio
I graduated college and found myself living in anxiety, depression and paranoia. I stopped writing and lost control, over my actions, my words and my own mind. I clawed my way back into going to church, trying to find missing pieces of myself - a self I had disregarded and thrown away in the effort to defend myself and cope with the world around me. In the midst of drowning in burning flames, hot coals, burned skin and reputation, I found myself building a new life rooted in personal connection, personal stories, and personal relationship. When I looked around I saw my pen and paper still sitting right where I left it, picked it up and called out my own burned, dirty, cunning, impure, unvirtuous, stained, sinful, immoral and guilty self so it no longer had a hold on me. You'll read stories about gymnastics, concerts, scares, anxiety, love, "coming of age" stories and stories of depression, political rallies, parties, games, the crumbling of relationships and friendships, alcoholism, identity, systems and industries as well as the feelings of never being enough, but finding someone who finds you enough.
