What are you working on?

Mellowing out. Being a more patient human. Practicing more kindness. Self-love. Planning future trips. Saving money for a house. Meditating. Trying to get better quality sleep. Putting my phone down more often. Hiking regularly. Marketing my debut poetry collection, family matters.

Writing-wise, trying to make sense of my time growing up/coming of age in the Midwest US, my college years, some tumultuous relationships, and some self-loathing I’ve experienced in the past. I’m still unsure of where it’s all going, and it may take years to write, but I’ll get there.
