Kyla Still

I'm really just trying to figure out where I want to go. I want to travel and figure out what I want to do. I feel like that's my interest, at this point in my life I feel like whatever happens happens. If I find something that I really enjoy and that I can focus on and be happy with, then I will focus on that until I find something else. Or I will just continue to live in that moment until I officially feel like I can settle in a place and be content, knowing that I made the right decision.

I'm a poet. I write spoken-word poetry, which is completely different from the poetry we're taught in school. Its really more of a free verse. You kinda get to say what you want to say and you say it in a poetic way. Thats what I've been writing since forever. Its a really big passion of mine, I love writing.

I have one book that I wrote back in high school, sophomore to senior year. I consider it my healing book, and I actually have it tattooed on me. I'm currently working on another book, it's more of a new phase, like you grow and you blossom and stuff. So this next book is about me becoming me.
