This week was heavy. And not just because of one thing—everything felt like too much. People see the smile. They hear the laugh. And they assume I’m okay. Strong. Unshaken. Unbothered. But the truth? No one ever stops to ask if the strong one is even holding on. They don’t ask if I’ve cried more … Continue reading The Weight No One Sees

I am a 2010 Mass Communication and Journalism graduate (BA) of Southeastern Louisiana University. I am also a 2016 English and Creative Writing Graduate (MA) of Southern New Hampshire University. I value words like no other. Words seem to pour out the depths of my soul of which I as a human have not yet dared to venture to. I appreciate pen, because it reaches beyond the boundaries that have been set by my more humanly self. I'm in love with paper or a blank screen, because it is the most beautiful canvas ever created by man.

Who Sees The Strong One?
Today I’m tired. Tired of being told to be pleasant while people pour their mess onto me. Tired of being humble while the world chips away at me like I’m made of stone and not spirit. They say, “Don’t return the energy.” But how am I supposed to keep giving when the leeches keep draining? … Continue reading Who Sees The Strong One?

The Grace I Give
Journal Reflection: “The Grace I Give” I give grace because I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to carry more than I can explain, to be in a space where words won’t come but feelings won’t rest. I’ve made room for people to process, to stumble, to be unsure—because I don’t love conditionally. … Continue reading The Grace I Give
She Bleeds Words
She bleeds words— the kind you don’t say out loud, the ones that sit in your chest like smoke in a locked room, waiting for a way out that doesn’t set the whole place on fire. She carries them quiet, like a story no one stuck around to finish. Heavy words. Unsaid truths. Pages folded … Continue reading She Bleeds Words
Dear Valentine
While society hypes the glamour, The glitz, and all that mundane Shit.. Here I sit with the most simplistic wish. Praying that you’d make it my gift.
