Cycle Breaker By: Amanda Burton
For those stuck in the endless cycle and for those who have broken it…knowing who you are and revealing to that the world with the reality of knowing someone will judge you can be terrifying but living a lie and hiding behind a wall of fake is worse. YOU are valued. YOU are worth the truth. YOU des

Fragmented in the Moment By: Amanda Burton
This poem is for anyone who smiles through the noise, who stays even when their body is screaming. You’re not broken—you’re overwhelmed. Overstimulation isn’t a choice. Neither is the longing to stay. #poetry #mentalhealth #love #real #depression

Not Apologizing for Surviving By: Amanda Burton

Functioning, But Too Much Anyway By: Amanda Burton

Letter to the Girl I Used to Be By: Amanda Burton
A letter to the girl I used to be—the one who carried storms in silence and still found a way to hope. She held every broken piece without knowing she was building the version of me who stands here now. This poem is my way of reaching back to her, gently, finally telling her she wasn’t fragile… she

The Static Inside By: Amanda Burton

The Smallest Thanks By: Amanda Burton
This season asks us to name what we’re thankful for, but the blessings that matter most aren’t always the ones we can see. For many of us, the holidays feel heavier than we admit — and it’s the quiet, genuine kindness from others that shifts the weight. A gentle word, a moment of grace, a softness

Mom, But Still Human By: Amanda Burton
Being a mom doesn’t erase the human underneath. Trying counts. Showing up counts. Even on the hard days. Even when you make mistakes. They won’t remember you yelling about a broken tv or grounding them for being disrespectful but they will remember forever that you’re their constant and that they c

Her Life Part II:The Accounting By: Amanda Burton

Why Does Seeing Amanda Bynes Hurt?
I don’t know what it is, but seeing Amanda Bynes out in LA always hits me in the chest. She doesn’t look unhappy, just…distant. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but after everything she’s been through, I really just hope she’s okay and protected. Did anyone else use to love “The Amanda Show?!”

Gothic, fantasy YA with a story we know and love in a way we’ve never seen. Kalynn Bayron has done it again. effectively evaded my TBR order by being bummed to the top of the list. She always knows how to make a girl feel dainty and horrified at the same time. 🫠 #currentlyreading #lemon
