Texts
Her poetry is a loving combination of love , happiness and philosophy . It's about wishes for life, fears, curiosity, self-assessment, pain, appreciation and observations about life and contact with fellow human beings. In doing so, she strikes a tone between confidence and pain processing. "Don't know why, but I've always wanted to understand other people's experiences and beliefs and always wanted to question why things are the way they are."
"I suppose I think I have something to say about living in this world." She writes on her own website.
