  • Why I keep coming back to writing

    There are a lot of things in my life that give me solace. Books, food, desserts, looking at pretty things on Pinterest, a good shopping sesh, a very specific group of people. But if there’s one thing that makes me feel like I matter, like I have value, it is writing.
