Stan (they/them/theirs)
Writer, poet, dreamer
Hello! I’m Stan, an aspiring writer, poet, and traveler. I’ve always loved telling stories, and I’m hoping I can share some of them with you.
I hope that I can share parts of my life that could influence someone else. I struggle daily with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and a panic disorder, all of which I hope to talk about and de-stigmatize. I personally think that the society we live in needs some work, but there are some pretty beautiful moments and insanely happy memories to be made in this world and this life.
I love long drives in the dark with the windows rolled down and music blasting from the speakers. My car is kind of like my safe haven; when I don’t want to be home, I drive. Hence the name of this site. My goal is to create a safe space not only for me to share with you, but also for you to share and be comfortable doing so.
There are two blogs that can be found here: A Collection of Journals, and Let’s Have a Chat. Both of these I put my heart and soul into posting real, raw, and uncensored content.
A Collection of Journals is where my journey started. It is, in a way, a collection of journals from my very own personal life. I give updates on what I’m doing and what is happening and changing in the world around me. It’s kind of like the blog version of a vlog channel on youtube! I will take you on a journey of my personal life every now and then.
Let’s Have a Chat is, or at least the goal is, the equivalent to sitting down in front of a crackling fire with a hot drink while we have a chat. I typically like to talk about the things that we generally don’t want to talk about. Quite the oxymoron and I right? I like to talk about social issues, rant about society, share my mental health journey, and even share my own poetry!
If you got this far thank you! If you want to connect with me check out this Contact page!
