I’m CJ. I enjoy writing. It’s how I process, express myself, and use my voice.

It’s a way for me to work through things.

My writing can be honest, a little messy, sometimes beautiful. Kind of like life.

Thanks for reading my work 🩵

Once Upon A Nightmare. Content Warning.
"Oh come on, baby" A little coaxing here. A little begging there. Only listening to your own selfish wants and needs. Ignoring my cries and pleading words.

I Noticed.
I noticed when the energy shifted. When my name was mentioned and the room got quiet. When I started being left out of things I used to be part of.

Cheering From The Shadows.
I Used To Look Up To You. I Used To Wonder, How Does She Do It? That Grace, That It Girl Thing You Seem To Create. You Draw Everyone In.

He Called Me Lola.. Content Warning.
Chapter 1 The floorboards creaked. Once. twice. The room was thick with quiet, but the darkness pressed so close she could hear her own shallow breaths. Lola lay frozen beneath the thin blanket, heart pounding like a frantic drum in her chest.

Resuscitation by Sunlight.
Lying On The Floor, Gasping For Air. Alone. Broken. Exhausted. Haunted. I Whisper For Help, But Even The Silence Refuses To Answer.
