This is a collection of thoughts and opinions I've had for a long time that I've organized into essays and rants on paper :) I don't know where else to share these, so I'm putting them here so I can at least get these thoughts out there somewhere.

Some of them I even wrote for college classes and were proud enough of them to put them on Wattpad lol.TRIGGER WARNING: some of the essays bring up sensitive issues such as SA, parental abuse, violence, misogyny, and other forms of bigotry.
