Rhode Island Pride was such a great time! The parade was amazing and there was soooo many people in town, you could feel a real sense of community. We didn’t get home until 5am but totally worth it, can’t wait until next year! 🏳️🌈❤️

There’s nothing like the crisp air of a spring morning, bringing me back to times with no worries but what to do that day. See friends, go for a swim, play games and hangout in the neighborhood. Simpler times. ❤️

I'm an extremely sentimental/nostalgic person when it comes to others, so I struggle a lot with melancholy feelings I wish I could just push down; they’re a major reason I used drugs and alcohol in the height of active addiction

I totally forgot to get some pictures while out but Pride was such a great time yesterday with all my friends! Loving the new skirt

This is the first poem I wrote after getting clean. I had lost multiple close friends between my using and bipolar, and when I came out of psychosis, all I feel is guilt for hurting people. But it doesn't invalidate that it was still me.

@JamesOphel28756 Love these! Idk why but the line “A story in wait” felt really emotional and caught my attention.
“But her fingers a sudden hawk”
The clock was static was also a great way to evoke feeling of, and if I’m dead g it right, time seeming to stand still? Or that it’s irrelevant?
Music is so important in my life. It’s an outlet for our feelings and has shaped me as a person by guiding my morals towards empathy for others, and myself. In doing so we gain the strength to share those feelings with others.

@JamesOphel28756 You have such an interesting page btw and I so vibe with it! Also did you write a book I think? How was it writing it, any difficulty’s ?
@JamesOphel28756 Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
I 100% agree that art of all kinds giving strength to be open, honest, and vulnerable. I try and put my genuine emotions into every poem and hope people can relate. IfI don’t then I just couldn’t see the point; the words just don’t come
Sometimes I struggle with being on medication because of how it changes me. Sometimes I miss that “spark” that I feel when I’m manic, as if I’m more creative and outgoing in exchange for the contrast of being mentally ill.

Summer romance holds such a special place in my heart. It’s wild and raw, with feelings of such freedom in life as you hold their hand on adventures, knowing you would go anywhere; do anything; so long as they’re by your side.
