Corners and Candles

Words from the Corners of my mind, told By candlelight

The Corner I Accidentally Walked Into and Forgot Why

Where the small, passing thoughts of an ordinary day come to rest. The stray ideas that show up while my mind is wandering during the usual rhythm of life. Occasional moments that surface while I’m just living, sometimes funny, other times unexpectedly deep. Unpolished little thoughts I decided to log before they slipped away.

Story Corner

Story Corner is where my stories rest. Many of them are fictional on the surface, but they’re shaped by real moments, real emotions, and the things I’ve carried. Others may touch on magic or whatever else rises from the imaginative corner of my mind. Some pieces are warm, some are shadowed, and some fall somewhere in between. This is where the stories that grew from my life live.

Candlelit Corner

A warm, gentle space for stories that hold light. Here you’ll find fiction shaped by hopeful, victory through healing, and small moments of grace. If you’re looking for something tender, uplifting, or softly magical, this is your corner.

The Corner of Shadows

A quieter corner where the shadows settle when the candle flickers. These stories lean into the heavier side of things, the memories that linger, the fears we don’t name out loud, and moments that bruise our souls. The tone can shift from uneasy to deeply reflective, yet shadows tend to linger at the edges. These pieces are raw and emotional. They are written honestly and may touch on traumatic or intense experiences.
If you’re drawn to stories that sit in the darker corner of our minds, this is where my shadows live. If you’d rather stay in brighter corners, or if your candle isn’t burning steady right now, feel free to return when the light feels brighter.

Whispered Corners

This is the corner where the whispers settle. I don’t write poems all the time, but every now and then emotion rises that I can’t quite name, and it slips out of the corners of my mind as a whispered verse. These pieces are shaped by whatever my heart was carrying in that moment, and they tend to arrive tender, a little fragile, and a little luminous in their quiet way.
