Hi, I'm K and I'm a sophomore studying botany and astronomy. I am from the US, but decided to leave my home state in search of new things. I struggle with bipolar depression, anxiety, and PTSD resulting from experiences with sexual abuse. My recovery journey has been a long one, with a lot of challenges along the way, and I'm just getting started. I created this blog in the hopes that someday I can help someone get back to their feet, and see the world in a better light, like I've tried to.
I am a writer, focused mainly on poetry, though I have also written multiple (unpublished, because I'm too anxious to try) novels, as well as a self-help book I've started working on in hopes of getting the courage to self-publish. I have a poetry book in the works as well, titled Reaching Perihelion, that I have been working on for a long time. I've been awarded multiple times for my poetry, in competition and online submission, as well as published in an online magazine that no longer runs (but check them out on Twitter @sproutmag to see their previous postings!) All in all, I just want to help people. After my experiences with assault (see first blog post), my perspective of the world took a full 180, and I've been trying to right it ever since. I want to look at the space I live in healthily, rather than living in fear, pessimism, or anger - and want to help others do the same. I hope I can help you. |
