Telling stories in my way

I have taken some time off from medium! I’ve not been well or in a good place for the past two years. I had to step away from a lot of things I took joy in. However my love for poetry has still been there and I haven’t stopped writing poetry I just haven’t posted anything.

I’m still struggling but I have seen some glimmers. In terms of physical health I haven’t been able to walk properly due to immense pain. Which left me feeling half the person I was.

I was ready to give it all up and contemplated countless times deleting everything! Glad I didn’t close my account.

As much as I love writing and writing poetry I have had to re-prioritize my life. My health has taken a battering and I can only describe as really bad burnout on top of everything else!

BUT! I decided to try and put some of my poetry on you-tube as spoken word to videos! It has helped with my confidence as my anxiety is so bad I’ve practically been a hermit!

So If you would like to follow me on You-tube in the meantime and support my channel you can do. There are only a few videos on there! I will get back to sharing my poems again at some point

if you wish to support me here is my YouTube channel:
