Bio
Humiliated by a family member for sending away for publishing materials somewhere around the first grade, I locked my voice in a drawer. It's been too long, and it's time to open the drawer again. Imperfect and exposed- this is me.

Coins in the Couch Cushions
When I was a kid, I used to look through the couch cushions for loose change to buy candy or add to my piggy bank, and there was nothing quite like the simple eureka of finding shiny little coins in the couch. As I grew older, I exchanged looking for coins in the couch for “Shiny Object Syndrome,” where I’d gather new interests as I found them, determined that this shiny new hobby would become my “thing,” and discarding the ones that had lost their shine.

Bloodletting
Dear C, First of all, I want you to know that I love you. Secondly, I want you to know that I have never been so mad at you. I could hunt around for a synonym that would sound more eloquent, and that I meant it more— but mad feels right. A word I picked up early on in my childhood to blanket cover a lot of confusing emotions that I don't like. But my therapist wants me to articulate.
