Itโ€™s hard, being seen underneath all the layers, that raw being that makes you, you.

I never realized how true Everettโ€™s words felt until I started feeling restricted, scared to disappoint. Until I started noticing I was moving for others instead of myself. And it hid under so many actions.

I havenโ€™t been on social media much, Iโ€™ve been taking time for me. Itโ€™s so important for everyone to do that.

Especially when you start to lose yourself a little.

But just like Everett, itโ€™s not bad, letting people see who you are underneath. Because that raw version of you is so special. So beautiful.

It deserves to shine and be loved. You deserve to shine and be loved.

May June be filled with a little more laughter, a little less sadness, a little more joy, and a lot more unhinged, chaotic fun.

And may my readers not scream at me for the last slide ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ’–

Welcome to the Darverse.

Although my focus is primarily romance, I write stories that see you and never ask you to change.

Theyโ€™re a little messy, a little chaotic. Sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy.

But always filled with love, growth, and, above all, hope. 

This might be my corner, but youโ€™re welcome to find pieces of yourself here and between the pages of these stories ๐Ÿ’–
