The Girl Behind the Screen

If you had asked me a few years ago where I thought I’d be today, I don’t think I would’ve pictured this.

Starting a blog has always been one of those ideas that lived in the back of my mind. I wanted a place where everything I create could exist together instead of being scattered across notebooks, camera rolls, and random apps on my phone.

So, here we are.

Since this is only my second post, I figured I’d tell you a little more about me.

I’m the kind of person who collects hobbies like they’re Pokémon.

One week I’m completely consumed by writing a new story. The next I’m editing photographs, painting something that probably didn’t need another coat of paint, learning a new skill, or convincing myself I absolutely need another creative project.

I have more story ideas than I have time to write them.

I notice little things.

The way sunlight sneaks through a window.

How a photograph can hold a memory longer than we can.

The feeling of finishing a book and carrying its characters around for days afterward.

I think that’s why I write.

Because some moments deserve to stay.

I don’t really know what this blog will become yet.

One day you might find a poem here. The next day, a photograph that made me stop in my tracks. Maybe a chapter from a novel I’m working on, or a journal entry from an ordinary Tuesday. I don’t want to put this blog in a box, because life doesn’t fit inside one either.

Maybe it’ll be a journal.

Maybe it’ll become a scrapbook of photographs.

Maybe it’ll be where I share poetry, pieces of the novels I’m writing, and whatever else finds its way onto these pages.

Most likely, it’ll be a little bit of everything.

And honestly?

I think I’m okay with that.

If you’re here this early, thank you.

I hope you’ll stick around while we figure it out together.

P.S. What’s something that’s bringing you joy lately? Big or small, I’d love to hear about it.
