Autobiography

Stories, Poems, and Musings

My personal experience with depression. Touches on what I've gone through and how lucky I am to be where I am today.

A life story shoved into a small poem.

For those who think it'll never get better, I'm here to tell you that it really does.

This is a poem about depression and my fight with it as two selves: one who desperately wants to quit and one who still clings to life. This is a note to the latter.

This is a very short story about my life and how it feels to live it right now and the intensity that it generates for me and my wife.

This is an existential piece about me and it is absolutely a work-in-progress, as is life. It attempts to reflect the confusing nature of existence and the meaning of life.

A Place Where I Grew Up is a tragic, fictional memoir about a boy getting run over. I wrote this in order to make people more aware of road safety.

This autobiographical work explores the themes of existence, mental illness, meaninglessness, and the nature of the 'self'.

My personal experience with depression. Touches on what I've gone through and how lucky I am to be where I am today.

Sitting in this tree thinking how messed up my life actually is.

This one's for the one that hurt me the most. Screw you

For when the ones you feel you need the most, aren't anywhere to be found.
