Bio
I have always used writing as a coping mechanism to help with my diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. I have been writing since I was extremely young. I can not wait to see all of the poems, stories, etc. that come from this site.

Once Upon a Time
It was 1996 and I had just turned 7. I was staying at my grandparents’ house in Florida. Eventually the time came for me to get out of the pool, into the shower and under the covers. Every night my grandmother would read me a story. These were not just any stories. She wrote her own tales of fancy and frenzy. I will never forget “Ermentrude.” This was a story about an elephant that fell into red paint and became a red colored elephant. The elephants name was Ermentrude. I loved that story along with whimsical stories about invisible friends, skyscraper long spaghetti, UFO’s and my favorite. It has been so many years, but I believe the story was called “The Glass Castle.” All of the characters were made of members of my family. I was a young princess who grew up in the castle. I remember my eyes although heavy with sleep would go wide as she read to me, and I clenched the blankets with excitement.
