This is why it took me so long to start expressing myself creatively - it is not just what culture, family, friends but what the spouse would think because let's face it, some of the topics I tackle are very personal - and I would have it no other way

Writing with a pen name helps - more than that it is the support of those close to me - they see how this is important to me and how it helps therapeutically speaking - otherwise I doubt I would be able to do what I do 💙
