Welcome

Hi.

I'm never sure how to begin and that is probably what has delayed the process of me actually creating this blog for the many years that I have thought about it.

My writing is personal, sometimes brutal and always raw. I write to heal from things that have overrun my life to date. There are the classics, like depression and anxiety, and the less fashionable (or socially acceptable) intrusive thoughts, OCD and eating disorders.

To be clear - I do not wallow. Sometimes on my worst days I think I'm being trivial and whining about something that has little to no meaning for anyone else. However, on my good days, I see it for what it could be; a soothing medicine for someone who perhaps can't put into words how they feel but they see it on my page and they say 'WAIT! That's me! I feel that too, and now I can talk about it and feel less alone all at the same time!'

That's really what we all want; to feel less alone in our own minds. It is not in our natural make up to be so alone all of the time, so in this time of isolation I thought fuck it, let's hit publish on this stuff you've been choking back for years and see that the world won't end as a result...there are myriad other reasons that the world might end but my writing shall certainly not be one of them.

Stay tuned for my first essay, landing soon.
