About Me
Hi everyone! This writing thing is entirely new for me. In the beginning, I started my series of short stories in hopes to shed light on the reality of the mental health world, but along the way, I realized how desperately I needed to write for myself, and for the injustice in my own life. I still hold to my original intentions, but now I'm also writing for healing, and, hopefully, self acceptance, which is something I never thought I would have the courage to do. Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read my words. =)
I love many forms of music, literature, poetry... anything with true substance. I'm a junior at Southern Miss, majoring in Special Education; the special needs world is my life.
