Bio
I've loved writing since I was old enough to start writing. At 23, life has almost completely made me lose my passion. This is my therapy, and maybe in the process I can help others.

My heart longs for something that I cannot find within these walls. finally, I quit fighting it. I lace up my shoes, grab my bag, and I'm gone. My car fires up with a purr. I drive past the houses in my neighborhood. Then the orchards fly by seemingly at warp speed. Soon I turn; now the excitement within me begins to build.
