I have always had a passion for storytelling. Whether it was writing my own books or making up someone’s fake life story while people-watching, I have always found comfort in using my own imagination. When putting words on paper, stories flow out of my pen as my mind races with ideas, no matter if the pieces are factual or fictional. I always find myself looking forward to each new story to tell, excited to write or learn about something new. I also enjoy editing my work, as well as others', and trying to make it the best that it can be. Throughout my life, and long before that going back to when I was little, I have created opportunities to write and read as much as possible. Through these opportunities, I learned that I could never get enough of telling stories. It makes me happy to learn about and improve my writing, and I look forward to living my life pursuing that happiness a story brings me.
