I​’ve had a passion for writing and reading very early in life. I have always loved reading fictional stories and could get lost in their world. My passion for writing starting with poetry and later turned to fictional narratives and visual art. Being able to create a new world will forever be a part of who I am. I have morals, values, goals and aspirations. I have the awareness to know I am small. I understand there is more to life than what I want and need. I know that in order for me to help someone else I have to help myself first. I am willing to admit my shortcomings and failures. I am willing to admit that I have made some very bad decisions and mistakes. I am willing to ask for help if I need it. I have the courage to believe in something or someone even if the entire world doesn’t. I believe in change. I believe being vulnerable doesn’t make you weak. I trust that even when I am down, I am able to get back up. I have faith in my ability to provide, cherish and protect what is mine. I believe in humanity’s ability to get better. I believe in healing myself every day. I believe in not becoming like the people that hurt me. I believe in taking accountability for my actions, words and choices. I believe that no matter how angry or hateful someone is violence is never the answer. I believe violence makes things worst. I believe my tongue is a powerful weapon. I know I have SO MUCH more work to do on myself in all aspects of my life. I am growing, changing, becoming better. I am not a victim I am a survivor. I am proof of the existence of something bigger. I am proof that a child that could have been destroyed can come out the other side renewed. I am proof that who you allow in your life can have drastic or amazing effects on your life. I took to creating art as an outlet for my mental health and it has worked wonders. Getting inspired and motivated by art doesn’t always have to be written and heard, sometimes its seen. Embrace the imperfections, the mistakes, the failures and the successes. There is something to be felt when seeing beauty where others don’t.
