Language and the way that it can influence how people view the world and their lives fascinates me. I often find myself pulling lines from my life to use in poems, pausing to watch human moments on the street, but also sometimes become too wrapped up in my head to enjoy good things. I have a tendency to hold on too tightly to the people and things that I love, but I’m also trying to grow outward from a place of safety. In a nutshell, I’m a writer by trade, a romantic poet at heart, and a periodic rascal. And, in a way, I suppose that’s enough to make for a good story. Onward.
