About Me

Who the Fuck Is Quinn?

Oh hey, that’s me and I’m new here!

This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, but I’ve been too afraid. I was told to just start writing and everything else will fall into place.

Just START. So here I am.

I’m here because I feel compelled to share my experience, strength and hope. I want to face my trauma. I want to begin to heal. I want to take my power back.

I want to be part of a community of like-minded people. A safe haven where really difficult things can be discussed and met only with love, support and understanding.

I now know I am not alone.

I struggle with sooo many things, which you’ll learn about through my stories, but I believe I can still help other people.

I want to get to know the people who have been through the same shit as me. Who fight every single day to keep going. Who may or may not know how they have survived.

I’ve been doing so much research about how to start a blog that I almost talked myself out of starting a blog. At least until last night when I found another author’s work. She inspired me to just take the plunge, already! To be my authentic self, be vulnerable and share what I know.

This is about telling my truth. Sharing the really fucking tough things that humans experience. No one is exempt from adversity.

So what do I actually have experience with?

Well, I know Alcohol doesn’t discriminate. I have been sober since December 10. 2014. I got sober to be healthy and happy, and while I am still sober, I am neither of those other things.

• I know how it feels to have a mother that hates you.
• I know how it feels to lose your favorite parent.
• I know how it feels to be adopted.
• I know how it feels trying to live through chronic illness and shitty mental health every single day.
• I know how it feels to be the Black Sheep.
• I know what it is to feel hopeless.
• I know how it feels to not want to feel at all.

I know how it feels when you don’t want to die, but you don’t want to be alive, either.

Quinn’s Kaleidoscope is how I see the world through my eyes.

Sometimes it is breathtakingly beautiful and sometimes it’s chaotic and ugly.

You know, like a Kaleidoscope

So if any of this resonates with you, I invite you to join me while I unpack my trauma and start my blog journey.

There will be laughter and there will be tears. There will be sarcasm, hyperbole, dark humor and there WILL be love!

Love and light,

Quinn

I’m still getting this whole thing figured out and would love to hear from you! [email protected]
