thank you.
for loving me
at my lowest—
my strongest
thank you.
for the laughter
that bounces
around us, in
long car rides
the sun
bright and yellow
matching my soul
the warmth
touches my skin
radiating off
me to you
heart to heart.
thank you.
for holding
my fragile body
while I fall
apart
the moon
shines amongst
the starry night
as I fight battles
with the demons
you cannot see.
thank you.
for matching
my love
for life—
for you
are my

happy ending

My name’s Nicole. I’m 27 years old and graduated from California State University of Long Beach with a BA in English Creative Writing and a minor in Sociology. My passion for reading is what drove me to find a home in writing, whether it’s fictional or personal. I believe there is a rawness in writing about yourself and your experiences, I choose to write to let others know that whatever it is they are suffering with they’re not alone. I have and still struggle daily with my mental health, and it’s okay to be vulnerable— to be heard.
