Hi there! My name is Katie and I'm a 30-year-old woman. I was born and raised in a small town in the Midwest, where I spent most of my childhood exploring the nearby woods and fields with my best friend, Sarah. We were inseparable until she moved away when we were both 15 years old.
After that, I kind of felt lost for a while. But eventually, I found my place at a local community college where I studied English literature and journalism. It was during those years that I discovered my love for writing and storytelling.
Fast forward a few years, and now I'm a freelance writer living in the city. I still write about all sorts of things, but my specialty is personal essays about relationships and identity. My work has been published in a few different online magazines, which has been really exciting!
Overall, I feel like I've come a long way from that small town girl who used to spend her summers chasing fireflies with Sarah. But even though I'm no longer there physically, that place will always hold a special place in my heart.
