I never really know how to introduce myself. I could give you my name, where I’m from, what I do. But none of those things fully explain why I started this blog, or why I write at all.

So here’s what I’ll say instead:

I’m someone who writes when the world gets too loud, and I need somewhere soft to land. I take photos of the sky like it’s a language I’m still trying to learn. I believe in quiet strength, in staying soft, and in noticing the little things most people miss.

This blog—The Stars Take Note—is a place for the thoughts I usually keep to myself. For poems stitched from heartbreak and wonder. For the reflections I whisper at midnight. For memories that never really left. For beauty that still stops me in my tracks, even on the hardest days.

The name comes from a question I can’t shake: “Would the pine trees mourn? The stars take note?” And maybe, just maybe, somewhere, a river sings their sorrow.

I think we all want to believe that our presence matters, that someone would notice if we disappeared. This is my quiet way of saying—I see you. I hope you find something here that helps you feel seen too.

So… hi.

I’m glad you’re here.
