This was her way of dealing with her emotions. Along the way she began writing poetry, but didn't know exactly what it was. She explains that writing is a way of relaxing and she enjoys it very much.

In 2011 she connected on Facebook and started to write poetry. Since then she has caught attention of other writers and friends with her catchy words and metaphors. They have told her that they can relate to her poetry and was inspired by them.
