Who we are

As an active writer, I'm always looking for a safe space where I can speak my mind, let my thoughts flow freely, and create at my own pace.

Being such a cathartic release, I firmly believe that by investing our time in writing our dearest tragedies, losses, fears, and frustrations, we can help to foster a community built around the idea that it is 100% okay to feel deeply and compassionately, and that it is never anything to be ashamed of. 

Named after the tragic Shakespearian character Ophelia, this blog is meant for those that have struggled, but will not drown, have seen the light, and will help others find it too.

There is beauty and inspiration in tragedy, yes, but it is on the ashes of those tragedies that we can build our new triumphs.

  I bid you, keep writing them all, and everything in-between.
