The Poet

Who me? I’m just trying to find the meaning of life and myself. These poems are a collection starting from high school to now. Anything from random concepts that popped into my head to raw expressions of the truths I have found in my heart along the way. They are unfiltered, unedited, and 100% honest. Read, enjoy, comment, and maybe even share. Welcome to my life.

Need to know more? Well…

I’m 25 years old. My sustaining force in the world is the love my friends, family, and I share. I’ve seen the darker side of a lot of people, but love is what keeps me from losing hope in humanity. Deep down, I’m an utterly hopeless romantic.

Other than people, I have a lot of loves: poetry, good food, books, music, family, art, warm sun, coffee, honesty, writing, nature, beautiful things, inspiration, the ocean, wine, creation, confidence… etc.

In the last few years, I’ve had a lot of struggles with personal and family chronic pain and illness. Pushing past depression and trying to have hope through it all has been difficult. Each day begins with a fervent prayer that those who suffer might find peace and happiness. Also, that I might find what I’m looking for in life… whatever that might be.

At the moment, I’m jumping from one flashpan passionate pursuit to another, looking for a balance that will lead to happiness. I have a lot of dreams and I’m trying to build them one step at a time. Someday, I will get “there”. Wherever my “there” ends up being. Until then, I will continue living, loving, learning, laughing, and growing into that beautiful person I’ve always hoped to be.

Really, I’m just like everyone else… only I’m me. :)
