"I started writing poems when I was around 12 years old, though undoubtedly the first one wasn't very good. But I aspired to be better and each poem I wrote made me feel whole as a person. Writing makes me feel like a complete person. When a week goes by and I don't write, I feel incomplete, empty, blah, and unspecial. I have recently begun to write fiction, but poetry is my first passion as it always has been. Currently, I am working on a novel that follows the theme of mental illness. Aside from writing, I am a psychiatric nursing student and a health care worker at a forensic psychiatric hospital. I enjoy working in the mental health field and plan to pursue that as a career, however writing is my first passion and something I plan to never give up. I find much inspiration from my work, but also from life, from nature, from philosophy and the passion that writing brings me itself. I love animals and currently live with my 2 dogs, 1 cat, and 4 degus." - Lindsey Webster
