Why I Write

I write because it’s how I make sense of the world and my place in it. It's more than just words on a page/screen; it's a form of release, reflection, and resistance. Writing allows me to capture emotions that don’t always have a place in everyday conversations. It gives voice to the quiet parts of me, to stories that haven’t been told, and to truths that deserve to be heard.

I write to heal, to imagine, to remember, and sometimes simply to survive. It's how I connect with others, even across time and space. Through writing, I explore the beauty, complexity, and pain of being human, and I hope that something I create resonates, stays with someone, or helps them feel a little less alone.
