MY WRITING JOURNEY
3/27/20254 min read
Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you stumbled upon this blog by chance or have been following my journey, welcome! This is the beginning of something special—an open space where I share my love for words, the highs and lows of writing, and everything in between.
Writing has always been a part of me. I can’t remember when I wasn’t scribbling down thoughts, turning emotions into poetry, or dreaming up stories in my head. But deciding to put my work out into the world? That’s a whole new adventure that excites and terrifies me.
So why am I doing this? Because stories connect us. Because words have the power to heal, inspire, and make us feel seen. And because, deep down, I know that writing isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am.
This blog is my way of bringing you along on my journey—sharing the struggles, the victories, and the magic that happens when passion meets the page. I hope you’ll stick around, because this is just the beginning.
Why I Started Writing
My passion for writing and poetry began when I was young. Some of my fondest memories are of my mother and me, curled up with Mills & Boon novels borrowed from our local library. We would spend hours lost in those stories of love and adventure, turning pages late into the night. Those moments weren’t just about reading—they were about connection, imagination, and the magic of storytelling. It was then that a dream quietly took root in my heart: one day, I wanted to write my own stories.
But dreams often take shape in unexpected ways. When I lost my mother, grief became both a wound and a catalyst. Amid pain, I found solace in words. Writing became more than just a passion; it became a necessity—a way to navigate loss, to make sense of emotions too big to hold inside. It gave me a voice when I felt voiceless and a purpose when life felt uncertain.
Poetry, especially, became my safe space. In its rhythm and rawness, I found healing. And now, as I take this step toward sharing my work with the world, I hope my words can offer others the same comfort and connection they have given me.
The Beginning of My Journey
When I first decided to take writing seriously, I had no idea where to start. I knew I loved words, I knew I wanted to write—but what exactly? That was the question that left me staring at a blank page more times than I can count.
Beyond the struggle of finding the right words, there was something even scarier: vulnerability. Writing felt deeply personal, almost like baring my soul to the world. What if people didn’t connect with my words? What if they didn’t love them the way I did? The fear of judgment nearly held me back, but something inside me refused to stay silent.
So, I started small. I created a simple blog where I shared poetry—little pieces of my heart in the form of verses. Each poem was a tiny act of courage, a step toward embracing my voice. Slowly, I grew more confident. Writing became less about perfection and more about expression.
Then came the next challenge: writing a book. The idea of putting together a full-length collection was both thrilling and terrifying. But I kept going, poem by poem, page by page, until it started to feel real. And now, here we are—on the verge of something I once only dreamed about.
Looking back, I realize that every struggle, every doubt, and every small victory led me to this moment. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next.
What I Hope to Offer My Readers
At the heart of my writing is a simple but powerful desire: to tell raw, honest stories that touch the soul. I want my words to be a reflection of real emotions—the kind that make you pause, that linger in your mind long after you’ve read them. Whether it’s poetry or prose, I hope to create work that resonates, that makes readers feel seen, understood, and less alone.
Life is messy, beautiful, painful, and everything in between. My writing embraces that complexity. I don’t shy away from the rawness of grief, love, healing, and self-discovery, because I believe that within those moments of vulnerability lies the deepest connection.
Through my poetry and future books, I want to offer a safe space—one where readers can find comfort, inspiration, or even just the reassurance that their feelings are valid. I want my stories to be more than just words on a page; I want them to be experiences, emotions, and reflections of the human spirit.
This journey is not just about me—it’s about us, about the invisible thread that connects writer and reader. So, if you’re here, I hope my words can bring you something meaningful, something real. Because at the end of the day, that’s what storytelling is all about.
