Bio
My names Haley! I’m a 31 year old ex party animal telling stories about my past. I’m inspired by the likes of Augustan Burroughs, Miranda July, and William S. Burroughs to tell a raw and real depiction of messing up and growing up.

Ugly Girl
In 2006, punk music sounded exactly like who I wanted to be. Bands like The Distillers, Against me!, Defiance Ohio, and Bikini Kill were making music with so much raw power, I was consistently overtaken with emotion when listening. So who was I at this time? I was a late bloomer in every sense of the word. A skinny, insecure, dreadfully shy stoner chick who truly struggled through life. I was never the prettiest in the room, or the smartest. My voice was often overshadowed by a cloud of ego and entitlement that came from the popular crowd in a small rural high school. The type of confidence that came from these 16 year olds could only arise from upper middle class white families who taught them they are number one no matter what, and anyone different from you is a freak.
