Hi! My name is Cina, and I’m a writer. My memoir is my current WIP

I used to do slam poetry competitively but lately I mostly write blog articles about mental health, relationships, and personal narratives.

I can usually be found on the beach, in a hammock, or with a cat (or 4)

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

In my late teens/early 20’s, I would hear people talk about how afraid they were to grow up or how much they missed being kids. I couldn’t relate. Still can’t.

I hated my childhood. Adulthood brought freedom and peace that were inaccessible to me as a minor.

[Dean Abbott @DeanAbbott]

One of the really bad things about having a not-so-great childhood is that it can rob you of the tender memories you will need to sustain you when you're older.

I'm sorry if that happened to you.

The good news is that you still have time to make your own happy memories.

They might not fill the hole in your heart, but they will sure help.

@OldHollowTree As my baby outgrows stuff, we’ve also created a pile of stuff for “the next baby we meet” 😂

@alyssaleann You made all of this?! Over how many days?

“Do you have to take photos of every course?” he asked.
“Yes, I do! Nobody looks back and regrets taking too many pictures. Only ever not enough.”

@ThePOTSPostman For me it was vacuuming… I never realized how much work it was to pull a vacuum back and forth until I started throwing myself into flare ups doing it 🫠

Florida feels like the Jurassic period sometimes… this leaf is as big as my hand, and it wasn’t even the largest plant there!

$17 for an e-book is INSANE! Remember when they used to be like $3?

I really do appreciate the convenience of my kindle in this season of life, but if I’m going to spend that amount of money, I want a physical copy. 😅

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

@anishmoonka That is such a solid ending to this essay. I love reading your writing!

[Isabel🌻 @isabelunraveled]

You probably don’t even need permission from anyone or anything to do the thing you’ve been thinking of endlessly. You could literally just start right now

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

@Samanth18984539 That’s good to know!

Do flowers always smell most fragrant in the morning?

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

I’ve used the same laptop since college, and I still stand by my stickers

I will not stand for the level of harassment that Merriam-Webster has been subjected to on this post! Their account is so pure. Leave them alone! 😤

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

"BYE-oh-pik."

[Adéṣẹ̀tọ́ @Illusionist_126]

Your heart is not a state secret. You are meant to declare allegiances. You are meant to have favourites. Write the letter. Miss the train. Stay up until dawn talking. You should be caught red-handed loving something, someone.

@SModjesky @allie__voss I had a similar experience moving from Colorado to Florida! If my houseplants start dying, I just put them outside and they come right back

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

@allie__voss Yes!! I’ve been intimately aware of the water levels in my areas because I walk a trail with a creek. I’ve watched it fall over the last couple of months and watched it rise again after some heavy rainfall… it feels good to be in touch with what matters

[Allie ✞ @allie__voss]

One of the threats of modern life is getting so out of tune with nature that you no longer notice these things

You should know when daffodils come up, when fireflies start, when monarchs migrate and when the sap runs

You should be intimately conscious of the place you call home

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

@alyssaleann I love the amount of effort you put into planning these events! It’s so inspiring

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

@Samanth18984539 Me too! It’s so uplifting 💕

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

Last week, there was no water in this part of the creek. This photo was taken today 💕

[Cina Leneé (Writer) @cinalenee]

I walk this little trail everyday. As the drought has worsened, I’ve watched the water level sink lower and lower.

Yesterday we had a ton of rain. Today, I was very grateful to see the water level rose a bit because of it
