I’ve always been told to ‘make the most of my youth’. Truth be told, I’m having a blast. Why let complications like a job, finishing school and defining my sexuality ruin all of that?
Being 19 years of age and from Northern Europe, let’s just say I have a lot going for myself at the moment. I’m still working out where I want to go with my life – the sort of person I am, the sort of people I like… I don’t see the point in choosing a solid direction just yet.
My writing reflects where I’m at in my life now. There’s just so much opportunity for romance – with both sexes. Navigating it all to find meaning can get a little tiresome, but it’s hugely rewarding.
All of this opportunity has come at a cost though. I’m precisely at the age where all of the friends I grew up with are either starting university or choosing where to go. It sounds like fun, it really does. 3 years of non-stop partying – what’s not to like?
That’s not the reason people choose to go to University – at least not the one they’ll tell you. Let’s just say the cost I spoke about earlier was losing friends who weren’t able to convince me to join them. I didn’t want to fit into that narrative of society – not just yet anyway.
There’s a very thin line separating me from writing and entering the ‘real world’ at the moment. To be honest, it’s the things which inspire me to write – the crazy parties, the people I meet at them and the vortex of emotions I feel when I’m with girls or guys that pulls me back over that line toward writing.
I grew up watching dramas, soaps and shows like, “The L Word”. I believe in showing love and romance in all their iterations in my work.
Why go to college and be dragged down by decisions and responsibilities when I could be exploring deep unconditional love for other girls (my age or older), wild and intense one-night flings with guys… and everything in between.
I want to define my style and find my voice first.
I write for everyone who wants to delve deeper into what it means to really love – free of the shackles, burdens and judging eyes of everyone who has been cemented into their constrained, normal and boring lives.
If that is you – well then maybe you will learn a thing or two reading my work…
