WATERCOLORS
I've been a lot of things—
but it took becoming a writer to truly understand who I am. Writing is a commitment to knowing oneself and sharing it, a commitment to letting others know you too; an invitation for them to do the same. When so much of life asks us to contain, writing begs for our fullest, our rawest, most personal selves. So if you want to know me, look to my words—a glimpse of a heart, constantly changing shapes.
