You don't write because you want to say something. You write because you have something to say.
It’s personal. This year. It’s all about knowing. Yes. That’s the word for 2020. Knowing. The last decade began with me not knowing myself. Actually, I had no idea that I didn’t know myself. If you had asked me back then, I would have denied it quite vehemently. I would’ve said I know exactly who […]
There used to be a time, not so long ago, (well actually…pretty long ago), when I would write out my agony, the emotions that defined me. It was the inception of my relationship with poetry. Oh the sweet, sweet years of teenage, where every emotion that you feel is as high as heaven, as fiery as […]
“Let me be that I am and seek not to alter me” – William Shakespeare This quote captioning a well orchastrated picture would be the exact thing that would earn me some Instagram clout. Now my life is valid, now it has value, now that it has been seen… This thought has been haunting me […]
Lately I’ve been on the move, doing things, going places, thinking thoughts, lately. Lately I’ve been thinking through, my life, my path, my people too, lately.

I see you turning all my corners / You are there, everywhere / In my eyes, in my sight / In my voice, in my music / In my words, and yours / In my head, in my breath / Always on my mind / I see me turning all your corners //
“I don’t want this” for every time you have this thought it is not a breath wasted but a life gained the power of knowing what you don’t want you are one step closer to what you do in the pool of infinity you have a finite thought “I don’t want this”
I’ve been feeling a feeling, this whole month, and now that I think of it retroactively, it just makes sense that I felt that way. Comfortable. And that’s a dangerous place. When I wasn’t working, I travelled a bit, spent some quality time with close ones, spent some days in bed doing absolutely nothing, spent […]
There is a deep sense of satisfaction in doing what you love. No, I’m not simply saying this in the ‘big picture of life’ kind of way. Sitting on my bed, wrapped up in my comforter, warm tea and a candle by my bedside, and my Mac on my lap – writing – I’m certainly […]
