I’m trying. Every day. My brain doesn’t stop running through everything. Writing lists, trying to keep my focus, trying to stay on top of everything.
It feels as if I can’t catch my breath but I’m not drowning, just swimming really hard. It’s like I can see land and I know I can make it. I just have to give it my all until then.
I can’t wait until I reach land.

I'm Anya. A single mum, a writer and someone still figuring things out as I go.
Writing has always been how I process the world, a way to untangle thoughts, sit with feelings and sometimes say the things I can't out loud. I write because it helps me and I hope it might help someone else too.
I've always been drawn to honest stories, the messy, real, beautiful kind and the people behind them. Music has played a big part in my life, especially the Glasgow hardcore scheme, as space that shaped me and still feels like home, even from the edges.
I believe in kindness, in showing up even when you're uncertain and in finding meaning along the way.
If you're also navigating your way through, you're not alone. You're welcome here.
"When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in" - Haruki Murakami
