All I can say about 2025 is that finally making this page for my publications is one of my dreams come true since I decided at 21 to go to college to get my English degree and become a writer. I had no idea how or if it would ever happen and boy, did imposter syndrome had me beat at times thinking I’ll never be good enough. And while my dream didn’t manifest itself the way I expected it, I still worked hard and made part of this dream come true. After thinking of everything I’ve accomplished this year, I know that with my hard work ethic, my creativity, determination and insanity; I feel like the sky is the limit for me.
