Poetry and writing are manifestations of the sub-conscious, allowing us to create meaning and uniquely convey our innermost thoughts, feelings, and sub-conscious desires through words.

Writing allows our abstract imagination to be boundless and our freedom to be unrestrained. As an editor and aspiring poet, writing has helped me sort through confusing or unresolved feelings and channel them into an expressive and flexible form.

Even as a 2nd grader, poetry was a medium that allowed me to explore and navigate my feelings. I highly recommend finding time to write, even for a few minutes each day!
