I chose to write under a pseudonym because I’ll be sharing sensitive, personal, and deeply emotional parts of my life. I want to protect myself and my peace from people in my past who contributed to the generational cycles I will sometimes talk about. My story, my background, and my experiences are mine to tell; not to be used against me or weaponized. Writing this way allows me to speak freely, without fear, and without any intention of spreading hate.
Some of what I share will touch on my childhood and the struggles I’ve lived through. If you happen to figure out who I am, that’s more than OK, but it doesn’t change what I’ve survived or discredit the pain, healing, and work I’ve done to get where I am today. Just like I would never judge or betray the trust of anyone who shares with me, I hope this can be a place where you feel safe to open up too. If you ever want me to share your words or our conversations because you believe they might help someone else, I welcome that. If not, your voice will remain safe here.
This is a safe space, even if it lives on the internet. I don’t want to copy what’s already out there, and I’m not here for fame, fortune, or recognition. My only hope is that by sharing my stories, someone out there feels a little less alone. If what I write helps even one person connect, heal, or simply breathe a little easier, then I’ve done what I came here to do.
I’m not here for clout or validation. I’m here for the real feelings, the raw emotions, the honesty that matters. Because voices matter. Your voice matters. Even mine, as a stranger to you, matters. And if nothing else, I hope to be a listening ear, a small reminder of compassion in a world that often feels lacking in it.
I may not always respond right away, this is something I do on the side BUT please know that your presence here will always matter.
