I’ve loved writing since childhood, and I can’t imagine life without reading. Writing has always felt natural to me, even when it’s only for my own eyes. I mostly write free verse and haiku, though rhyme and meter come easily when I need them. I also love photography, especially nature. Most of the time, I’m either looking through my photos for one to pair with my verses or searching for the right words to match an image.

In every act of life—in every corner, on beaches, mountains, trees, and rain; amidst laughter, tears, shouts, and whispers; and in eyes that shine for me—the muses are always murmuring. Emotions inspire me—melancholy most of all. Art heals me; it came, and calm and tranquility arrived. Museums inspire me as I contemplate the beauty that others have crafted. Listening to music, attending concerts, a song, that song! also serves as inspiration. I'm always deeply moved by street painters.

I don't know right now, but I'm sure I would invest them in tools that help others express their art. Many people only need a little guidance. The knowledge needs to be spread like a popular ad. Many don't know they are good at certain arts. The people must know the importance of reading and understanding. Having control of their lives, they can express their art. I'm learning every day.
