Art and poetry have been constants in my life. I was always looking to create something fun when I was young. Then art and writing became a sort of therapy for me. A way to get all my emotions out, a way for me to express without having to draw attention to myself. I went through a very difficult period of depression, inflicting my body with self harm, suicidal thoughts and attempts. Even in those hard, dark times I had something within urging me to express creatively. I didn't want to open up to express, but I did. On and off I'd get myself to scribble, write, and create. And I began to learn more, write things that were profound to me. I felt I was healing and teaching myself, even though I didn't understand it, it was happening. It is an ongoing journey for me, and wonderful people surround me throughout different times on that long twisted road of ups and downs. I am grateful to art and poetry, to pens and paper, watercolors to crayons and everything in between. I am grateful to every one of those that stepped into my life for however long. Jess, my fiance, has also inspired me greatly. He has such a loving, supporting, and warm spirit. I am very grateful to him as well. (He's the talented artist<a href="http://www.zazzle.com/slvr0drgn?rf=238484824577522511"> slvr0drgn</a>). Lastly, I am grateful to be alive. I am here to share these experiences and creations. I know that all of what has happened is for the greater good. I hope you find much inspiration and love here and in each peice.
