welcome to my sanctuary.

I contain multitudes. And so does this blog.

All the pieces that I’ve published with love live here. Each one has a home in a different category or series. Below is a map describing our lovely little neighborhood.

Too Kinds of People: My passion project. These pieces focus on different Too’s, and their place in our lives. Whether it is a Too that deserves to be embraced and ultimately empowers us, or a “true too” that I’ve learned is best to be kept in balance, this series shows my journey of discerning between the two. For more information about this series, check out the first entry entitled “Too Kinds of People: An Introduction”.

Writer Reflections: I love to write. But I’m working on my relationship with the process. This series is my practice in embracing imperfection, anxiety, and overthinking for the sake of creativity. It may include my experience using methods created by other writers, reviews on books I’m reading about writing, or stories from my writing process. Because writing about writing still counts as writing. Right?

Letters: Poetry written as a letter or message to someone or something. Writing our story may be up to us, but in the end, it is a collaboration with all the facets of our lives, both seen and unseen. These poems are a collection of their correspondence.

& Everything Else: I love a straggler idea. Those little rebels. These don’t necessarily belong in a series, but they’re a part of me nonetheless.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Make yourself at home.

It Just Blooms

I may not have a green thumb, but I’ve learned a thing or two from flowers. I’ve even earned a thing about Too’s from flowers.
