About

My penchant for writing began early in my childhood with short stories and essays I was assigned to write in school. I developed a love for all things fiction. This soon gave way to an affinity towards music, blossoming into a passionate (if not rocky) relationship consuming my entire adolescence and early 20's.
Before I knew it I was 26, perpetually single, with a "Good Enough Diploma", no savings, and working a soul sucking office job. I began writing again, in my cubicle of all places. This time around I had been influenced by a different type of writer: The lyricist. Any attempt at writting anything other than prose always seemed to fall flat in the past. I began to realize the way I felt about music could be applied to the way I feel about words, and in turn the words provided the structure my music had been lacking.
It was then that I began to truly learn about myself and how I had kept it locked up for so long. And how much it hurt. Life hasn't gotten much easier but I know who I am now more than ever. And I'm not ashamed of sharing it; the good or the bad. I've been moving forward ever since by piecing together my jigsaw past.

    There’s a freedom in solitude few can affordBut I’m bored of myselfAnd I adore the shoreSo I drive to the seaThe Ocean she loves meShe has no memoryA thousand fathoms from nowShe’ll drown my sorrows and drag them down the dark abyss below

    Thank you, Diva. Sometimes I just like to let my mind wander. My writing output tends to have an erratic pattern; Live fast for a couple weeks, reflect, and repeat. New experiences keep me writing.
