The purpose for this website is to enlighten others on the ups and downs of life. Mostly through examples of my life.
Some would consider my life to be a soap opera and I would have to agree. There is always something crazy going on. The days
of quiet I have come to consider the calm before the storm. But throughout all the difficult times I have found
an underlining will to overcome and become stronger. I have also found a way to release my anger, stress, and joy in a positive
form. The form I use as an outlet is poetry.
About a year ago I found myself in a deep depression. I knew exactly why I was
feeling the way I was. But I had no idea of what to do about it. That's when I started to write poetry. I wrote fifty
poems, some about the harder times and others about the everyday thoughts of a teenage girl. During that time
of writing poetry I found myself understanding, for the first time where I was going and what I was going to do once I got
there. I also realized that a lot of teenagers go through these feelings and these situations. So, I decided to publish my
poems in a book entitled When I Turned to Me. In hopes that my findings could help others overcome and become stronger.
