• I Speak Many Languages. Masking Follows Me in ALL of Them

  

  I’m multilingual. But behind each language was a mask—until I found the one that didn’t come with trauma. Turns out, fluency isn’t freedom. Identity is.

• ASL Journey

  I have mentioned I’m working on learning ASL. I thought it might be fun to share how I’m doing with this. There is also the disturbing thing I want to share with you. Did you know 90% of parents who have a deaf child do not bother to learn ASL? Talk about isolating to put…

• Relearning ASL and Letting My Hands Do the Healing

  

  Sign language returned like a lost part of me—calming, expressive, safe. Now I use my hands to say what my voice learned to suppress.

• Ink and Illness: When Every Word is a Victory

  

  A whisper in the void. Strain against the invisible weight. Fingers move, driven by a fire that refuses to be extinguished. In the space where silence tries to settle, something stirs—a voice, fragmented, determined, reaching for meaning. What is born from struggle? What does pain leave behind?

• Friendship Exposes the Danger of a Predator

  

  I trusted a friend with my struggles, seeking connection and understanding. Instead, I uncovered manipulation, dismissal, and danger—the predator hiding behind the mask of friendship. This is a story of betrayal, broken boundaries, and survival—a cautionary tale about friendship turned harmful.

• The Shadows of Exile

  

  In the abyss, light flickers faintly—too weak to pierce the shadows. Blades twist unseen, their silent agony claiming warmth now lost. A cold weight presses deeper, dragging all into the inky blankness. Only the faint howl of the broken remains, defiant, clutching at fragile hope in darkness’s relentless embrace.

• Unmasking the Invisible Struggle

  

  This was the first song I hear today when I turned on Spotify. I had never heard it before, or even heard of the artist. However every word was an echo of my own thoughts. Every single word. I hide from the few people left in my life how I truly feel. To say today…
