Hey,

So, I’ll skip going over the name and mere details of the ‘About Me’ and just get to it, yeah?

Writing is kind of my jam. It resonates with me.

Let it be personal experience or by stander view, either way I relate to it in some manner.

The base of my recent ‘pieces’ are mused from my husband. Call it hopeless romantic or just two people bonding over their mental health struggles. Sounds toxic but it’s quite the opposite. It’s easily explained and understood by those whom struggle as well. The need to explain is honestly less. So, I choose to write based on his depression and how I view it whilst enduring my own. At times I may fall short being their for him because I’m caught up in my own but the mutual understanding exists so it isn’t seen as neglect. Hence, why consistency is key. Unconditional is key.

It’s easy to write about my own. But, to write about what I witness during his while enduring my own? It’s a whole other experience. It’s a newfound coping mechanism.

It’s like when I finish a piece and reread it myself and say ‘Damn, I really captured it all. Without angling him in a poor light or selling myself short. One of us doesn’t matter more than the other. We relate. We struggle differently. At different times and in different ways.”

If I’m able to have someone read something I’ve wrote and they think to themselves “Wow, I get that. I feel that.” That’s all I want. No validation needed. Just something in common.

Let me say what you don’t know how. That’s what I want to do here.

I just recently joined and uploaded my first ‘piece’. I’m not sure if I’d call it a story or series or anything like that. I have a few pieces that flow together using the same ‘plot’ or ‘subject’ and I’m just trying to see if there’s anyone that relates or takes interest.
