It’s time for something different.

Infinitely//Onward, my debut release back in 2023, is a series of short stories and poems meant to help the reader find their purpose in the world and the universe, as I struggle to do the same. It went on to receive more love and appreciation than I had even imagined possible - I found a group of people who see the world the same way I do.

Back in 2022, I lost my PopPop - someone I had spent my entire life with, went on vacations with, worked alongside, laughed and joked with, had painfully yet peacefully left this earth right in front of me. This collection is for him, for everyone I’ve loved and lost along the way, and for anyone who needs to find a way to move forward, as I do.

Butterflies and Blue Jays is a collection of the darkest, most damaging thoughts and stories, both fiction and reality, that swam through my head as I lost a part of my life I will never get back, how I must force myself to learn how to live the rest of my life, and remembering the loved ones I will meet again at the end of mine. While it’s a love letter to the ones I’ve lost, along with being a method of coping with the grief and pain, these pages are all bound together with one central, gut-wrenching question-

If death waits for us all, what is the best way to live?

So please, come along with me. Butterflies and Blue Jays will be yours soon.
