Defining Experiences

What are some experiences that changed your life and influenced your writing?

My Concussion
“I got a concussion in gym class when I was in my junior year of high school. I thought I was going to be a Marine Scientist but everything changed so quickly. Over years of recovery, I had to slowly accept that being a scientist was not going to be the best option for me anymore. My injury made it extremely hard for me to learn, but on the bright side, I started to lean on writing. I started to put more of my thoughts on paper. The pain I endured gave me the inspiration I needed to write poetry. I never thought I would share my poems with anyone. I thought I would be the only person to read them, but look where I am now!”

The Pandemic
“While staying home during the Coronavirus pandemic, I finished putting together my poems into Earthly Thoughts. I was supposed to have a film internship, but it was postponed due to the virus. If the festival was not postponed, I am not certain when and if I would have had time to finish putting together this book.”
