Stories about being human.

I write about the ordinary things that happen in my life.

Being called shy.
Trying to fit in.
Lying to seem more relatable.
Getting embarrassed.
Making mistakes.
Falling in love.
Growing up.
Trying to understand what the hell I’m doing with my life.

Some stories are funny.

Some are uncomfortable.

Some took me years to understand.

My life isn’t extraordinary. Most of these moments probably aren’t either.

But the more closely I’ve looked at ordinary experiences, the more I’ve realized how much they can reveal about who we are.

So I write about them.

Maybe you’ll recognize some of yourself in them too.
