Poetry & Prose of many genrés
Writing has been my lifelong passion, though it lay dormant for decades before awakening with renewed strength in 2018.

As a child raised by a narcissistic mother, I faced unique challenges daily. I wouldn't discover until my early fifties that I had been living with ADHD all along, making those challenges even more complex.

My mother's words echoed through my formative years: "You'll never make a good writer," "You're simply no good," "You'll never amount to anything." At twenty, after years of this endless barrage, something inside me finally broke. I whispered "to hell with it" and set down my pen. What followed was a silence that lasted until 2018—a creative drought spanning decades.

I never realized she was a narcissist; I just thought she was mean and hateful. But when understanding finally came, everything changed. Learning about narcissism helped me recognize that her treatment of me reflected her struggles, not my worth. This revelation brought freedom—freedom to forgive without forgetting, and most miraculously, freedom to write again.

When my passion for writing returned, it came like a tsunami. Ten poems flowed from me, one after another, as if making up for lost time. That creative awakening showed me that despite everything, my authentic voice had been waiting patiently all along.

For years, she convinced me I was undeserving of love—her love, others' love, even God's love. But deep in my heart, I knew differently. Though it took time to fully believe it, I came to understand that I deserved love just as much as anyone else.

I haven't stopped writing since that moment of clarity. Each word feels like reclaiming a piece of myself that was temporarily lost but never truly gone.

To everyone who has offered encouragement, kind words, and constructive criticism—thank you. Your support is priceless to me. You've helped give purpose to this journey of rediscovery.

God bless you all!

Thank you to the FanStory community for this remarkable opportunity to share my work, both past and present. You've become a cherished family on this creative path.
