Author's note on this year's napo enspoilered for length:
Spoiler
I think I started out as a love poet, a lot of my poetry from my younger years circa 2015~2017 were centered around difficult relationships I was having. The intense emotions I felt was a driving force behind a lot of poetry and why I kept on writing and writing and writing. Obviously at 25, I'm a very different person to 18 year old me, and over the years I feel like I've felt almost a very core part of my motivation behind why I write poetry.
Misery loves company and it's certainly one my poetry likes, I don't think I've ever gotten to a stable enough emotional state where I feel comfortable stepping outside of something that's been the core driving force behind one of my main creative outlets.
But lately, over the past year and a bit I've gotten to a safe enough emotional state where I can write a different kind of poetry, maybe a softer kind of poetry.
