Learning to laugh at myself was the moment I realized that my life was not an epic failure, it's just free comedy material that I’ve been sitting on this whole time.

The profound connection between laughter and pain helps me cope with and make sense of my life’s toughest moments. I use humor as a way to process my own trauma and pain and connect with others who may share a similar experience to me. By weaving satire into my writing, I can tackle the difficult, often unspoken emotions that come with those experiences. Humor allows me to break down walls, creating a space where I can laugh at the absurdity of it all and recognize that I am not alone. It’s my way of turning pain into something we can all relate to, and maybe, even heal from together.
