Meet the person behind the screen!

Hi, my name is Amber.

If you’ve found your way here, you might already know a little about me, or maybe you’re just curious. Either way, I suppose this is where I try to put myself into words.

I grew up in San Diego, California, before moving to the Pacific Northwest in my freshman year of high school. The shift was jarring at first, the light, the rain, the quiet, but over time I learned how to exist within it. Somewhere along the way, I stopped resisting it and started to belong to it.

I’m currently a third-quarter nursing student working toward my ADN at my local community college. Life is full, structured, and often exhausting in a way that leaves little room for stillness.

I’ve been with my partner, for almost two years now, and we share a life, and a small home, with our two cats, Frankie and Theodore. They bring a kind of softness to days that otherwise feel heavy.

I started writing when I was seventeen, after a breakup that felt much larger than I was. At the time, I was just trying to make sense of things I didn’t have language for. Later, I found myself returning to those old entries like they belonged to someone I used to be.

When I moved out at eighteen, I began keeping a private blog on Blogger. Quiet, hidden, only ever shared with a few people close to me. Still, I’ve found myself wanting something more lasting now. A space of my own, a domain where I can collect fragments of thought and memory.

I don’t write because everything makes sense. I write because it doesn’t. And somewhere in that uncertainty, I hope others might find something familiar.
