We all have pain in life and we need to remember that we are never alone. We are all worth being loved.

Just start! You need to have words on a page to be able to edit... you can't edit a blank page. We all have a story to tell. If you want it bad enough you won't let anyone or anything stand in your way.

I'm currently working on a standalone called Just to Feel. It's about a young girl named Mia who is so damaged from a traumatic experience that she ends up cutting herself in order to feel 'something'. I have cried so many times while working on this project... just a warning.

The death of my childhood best friend has haunted me for most of my life. I always believed that I was the reason she passed away. I only found out, late in my 20s, that wasn't the case. This is my way of celebrating her life.
