Hey fellow writers, readers.

My name is Chelsey, I joined Booksie back in 2010 and going through my writing has been quite a difficult journey. My writing has only improved and and have begun the revising and rewriting stage, so keep a look out for those!   

Writing has always been my saving grace, my go-to when the world got too heavy and I felt broken, when life became complicated and felt you had no one to talk too. Or when you couldn't find a way to say the words that needed to be said. My writing has always been 100% based on my experiences in life, my emotions. I wanted to be able to write the words that would one day save someone's life as the words of so many Authors had saved mine. I wanted to my words to mean something but I was never fully able to allow anyone to read them.   

My mom had been my biggest fan, and losing her has been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with, especially now that I have my own daughter and she never got to meet her. She died the weekend before they had planned to come and see us. She wanted me to release my writing, she had been so proud of the work I had done, she never got angry when the words weren't always sunshine and rainbows, she never told me that I couldn't release the pieces that put a spotlight on the terrible experiences I had, the trauma they caused me. She was technically my stepmom but since my bio one didn't want us, my mom stepped in and did the best she could.   

The next few months I will be putting together my first poetry collection and I hope that it reaches someone who like me, felt like giving up. Who is at constant war with herself. I want to be the light to guide people through the dark.

Thank you to all of you that stop in, read my rant of about me and take the time to reach my poetry.
