Throughout my writing journey, I have been using poetry to encapsulate how I feel, and not only that—I show how I feel by using poetic formats, and poetic words. I use nature and the sensitive moments in life (ie. golden hour, sunsets, stars) to shape my writing, and when writing, I also listen to music—which is the force behind letting out my emotion. You can see that a common thread that weaves my work together is the struggles that I have been through and am dealing with—my epiphanies.
