I am an observer. I am an empath. I am sensitive. And, I am an introvert. Writing for me has always been a sixth sense, a form of communication, and an outlet.  I've come to realize that not only do I see my own stories, but I see everyone's stories, and I want those stories to be heard. I want those stories to be memorialized on paper. I want families to celebrate their history, and friends to celebrate their adventures. I want young people to record their aspirations, and our elders to record their wisdom. Relationships, celebrations, and connection are the reasons we are here. What's your story? How do you want to tell it? How can we celebrate it?
