They/them. Proudly and loudly queer   

Aspiring #poet. I write poems about the small moments that add up to a life. Still working up the courage to share my poems more frequently.

I would like to post about writing, but I mostly just post about being queer. Occasional nsfw posts and rants about life. Will flirt back if someone flirts with me.

I've been writing poetry for a few years, but I've always been really reluctant to share my poems with others. I decided that this year I am going to try to change that, so today I took part in a poetry slam for the first time, and it was very scary but I'm also so glad I did it 😄

Lately I've been playing around with some word prompts to try to write more. I sort of cheated with this one by not actually using the word, but I like how it turned out.

Prompt: square

Wanting to fit in
But my edges are too rough
To fit with circles

@michaela_p hi! I've been a bit overwhelmed by life, but starting to feel calmer now 😅 how are you doing?
This morning while attempting to walk on a very icy path I came up with a silly little song that made me laugh. Add whatever tune you think fits best:
🎶 Walking like a penguin
waddling around
can't lift up my feet
or I'll fall down.
@michaelgemar There is definitely overlap there. Although I feel like a lot of people I know in tech and science stayed away from NFTs but will not shut up about AI 😅

Demisexual sluts of the world unite!

(Once we know each other, of course 🥺)

I love it when girls
I finally managed to find time to run away to my favourite writing spot for a few hours and I wrote down the two poems that have been buzzing in my mind for a while. Feels like a successful writing day! #writing #poetry
I'm currently stuck in a loop of using work stress to avoid thinking about problems in my personal life, and using my personal life problems to avoid thinking about work stress.
