L. J. Knight
Bio
I'm the girl who writes poetry in coffee shops, who walks the halls with a book under her nose, lost in her thoughts. I'm the girl with the quiet voice and the smart eyes, the one who dreams for the moon and hopes to land among stars.

And
[Content Warning: abuse, assault, suicide] I don’t remember how old I was, three or four or five—does it really matter anyway?—when I was first abused, when I was first assaulted, when I was first hurt. I don’t remember everything that happened, only bits and pieces, and fear—I remember the fear.

To The Girl Who Believed
Content Warning: vague mention of religion (negative) To the little girl who believed. I want you to know. I don’t blame you for hating me. A part of me hates me too. I don’t know if I’m better off. All I know if that I feel like I’ve chosen the right path, finally. I don’t have to search and wait and hope for my future to be worthwhile because I get to define it. I get to make it. And if God is real, then I am glad I am not a part of that. I am glad that I chose to walk away. I am glad that I am not under Their control, that I am not bound to Their rules and Their plan for me.

The Girl That Could Have Been Me
The branches of the pear tree cast soft shadows around me. The gentle summer breeze ruffled the pages of my book and I smoothed them back down as I turned the page. Fluffy clouds filled the bright blue sky and beams of sunlight filtered through them in brilliant rays.

Do or Do Not Is A Load of Crap
If you know me at all, you know I've been trying to get healthier for about half a year now. Eating better, drinking more water, and of course, exercising. And if you know me at all, you know I have a lot of trouble sticking to things.

The Stage of the In-Between
(This is the seventh installment of the My Alternates series. If you haven't already, read the first here.) Luciana sat at the edge of the pond. It had long since frozen over and the chill in the air crept through her jacket and into her bones.

In-Person College as a Mentally Ill, Disabled Woman
Week 1 I've been in college for about 3 semesters now. All of which have been completely online except for my ASL (American Sign Language) class over the summer. They've gone well. I'd gotten mostly As and Bs, one C (cause I switched majors and just decided not to do the final project, also I was in a mental institution), one F (due to a mental health crisis and an uncooperative teacher), so I'd say I'm doing pretty well so far.
