@heart.of.a.human documents my honest feelings, personal struggles, and moments of growth. The purpose behind my account is being human in a world that moves too fast—learning, healing, and sharing pieces of the heart along the way. Furthermore, I want my followers to realize that it’s okay to feel deeply, to grow slowly, and to be real in a world that often isn’t. @heart.of.a.human is dedicated to self-reflection, creativity, and healing. Through honest words and meaningful moments, notable accomplishments, and a lot of defining moments for me as a creator, @heart.of.a.human is my safe haven.

hi :)
people call me by a million things tbh I don't mind
I love spoken word, running, traveling, content creating, and pursuing any artistic endeavors that come my way. One defining trait about my personality is that I am not a quitter. Like I'm the type of person who will obsess about a challenge if it's hard because I am determined to win. I'm more of an introvert, and I am excited to be publishing "Proving: You Are Worthy Of It All" in May of 2026. This poetry book follows the story of my high school experience, and is not limited to things that I physically experienced ... I also talk about what it means to be a visionary. Sometimes I get nervous about sharing my work, but I've learned that having a high self-esteem is imperative and manifests itself in how hard I try in everything I do.
"Proving: You Are Worthy Of It All"
a story of resilience
coming of age
don't stop turning the page ...
some of my beliefs as a creator !
1
everyone has their own appreciation for art
you need to make your voice clear through elaborating on that minute detail in a film, that word or expression used in your favorite book, the thematic points that are touched upon in a screenplay, and so on and so forth :)
2
it's ok to not know the reason behind why something came out of you
like sometimes people think to themselves, "well how did the creators of this show come up with this?" Whether it be a plot twist in a book, a jaw dropping film, or an idea for a school play, just go where your mind takes you. Like that's what I've done and tbh it works pretty well ... I think

don't ever apologize
art is beauty. beauty is the reason artists create. creation is beautiful. beauty is art. see the cycle?
