I am a work in progress. Proudly, chaotically, enthusiastically so.I've had a few names, a few lives, and more chapters than I planned for. Every version of me was doing her best. This one, Kaira Dark, is the one I chose. The one that finally fits.I figure it out one cup of coffee at a time. The wine is just for fun.
I don't have the answers. I have the questions, and I've stopped being afraid of them. I live in the present, do the next right thing, and trust that the becoming is the whole point.I built this space for birth mothers who grieve in silence. For women leaving things that asked too much of them. For anyone who's ever been told they were too much, or not enough, or somehow both at once. Because I genuinely give a shit. About people. About stories. About every person and creature stumbling through it.Welcome. You're in the right place.Onward.Kaira Dark
