My Heart

Poetry is one of my secret passions. I have always loved writing, but I never dove into poetry until my senior year of High School. In 2021, I developed a horrible eating disorder and became very depressed.
Sadly, I think this is something many young women can relate to. I was at the lowest point I had ever been. Nothing made me happy, and I felt like nothing was worth it. I had so many thoughts racing through my mind, and I felt like there was no point in my being here.
I started going to therapy, and my therapist told me that writing was a great outlet, so I went out, and I bought a journal, then just started writing.
Ever since then, I have been in love with the art of poetry and the way that you can interpret it in whatever way you choose. You can write about emotions, experiences, stories, and everything you may be too afraid to say out loud.
Starting this blog and putting my work out there for others to read is very scary. My only hope is that at least one person will relate to my words or be helped by them.
I hope you enjoy my thoughts and respect my words, and above all, that you can feel something when reading.
XOXO,

Why poetry?
Why is poetry important? How can words have the power to heal and impact people’s lives?
Well, poetry is a form of art that evokes emotion, which makes up the beauty of life.
