HEY

Hiii, I am Ulyana [pronounced like ool-YAH-nuh]! I'm 16, an essayist wannabe, and currently “blogging” my way through being terminally ill, which is a sentence I still don’t really know how to say without making it sound either way too dramatic or weirdly casual.

I used to spend a lot of time on Tumblr, but after leaving I realized how much I missed having an actual community of writers around me. Mostly, I'm here because I want to write more, read more, and meet people who care about words as much as I do. So: hi. If you’re a poet, essay person, chronically online, or just someone writing strange little things on the internet, I’d love to know you.

ALSO, if you couldn't tell, I love Audre Lorde!!!

Talk soon,
Ulyana xoxo

I love essays! Hia and welcome, nice to have you here :3

(I just have a really long list of things I wanna read so I will eventually get back to your essays =D)

Namaste, and a very warm welcome to WYS! I’m sure you’re going to have a wonderful time here. And congratulations you already have that wonderful urge within you to become a better writer. Nurture it, enjoy the journey, and keep writing. Looking forward to reading your work!
