My Bio

I am a 23-year-old American living abroad with my husband, and this account houses my attempts to reclaim my identity as writer, prospective author, daydreamer, and hobbyist crafter. It is when I'm creating things or worlds or characters that I am often happiest, but I've neglected this side of myself for some time now. I am not who I was, but I am working on who I want to be.

A Confession

0 min read

I have an eating disorder. Her name is Glados and she would be happy to rob me of everything I was, am, and will be. I am not my eating disorder. I am and will be more. I want to be someone again - a real girl, not some shell hollowed out to please the world and deaden my senses. Once I was a dreamer, and God, help me, I will be again. This is my confession. To all those I've hurt and worried, I'm so sorry. A long road to recovery lays ahead, but I want to take it for you, for me, for us.  We'll have a lot to get through, but at least we can get through it together.  And someday in the future, we'll look back at this moment and smile and w
