An open journal on a writing desk lit by a single window

A small, quiet imprint

For the ones
still learning
how to write their truth.

A place for people finding a starting point for the story they've been wanting to tell.

What it means

"I'm one of those" is the half-sentence we whisper before we admit something true.

One of those who feels everything twice. One of those who cried in the bathroom and came back smiling. One of those who has been writing the same letter for ten years and never sent it.

This is a place for people who have spent a long time being told they were too much, and have quietly decided it might be the most honest thing about them.

About the project

A small library
of honest things.

I'm One of Those didn't begin as a business. It began as a way to make sense of things I didn't know how to carry.

When life felt heavy, confusing, painful, or unfair, I wrote. Not because I planned to write a book. Not because I thought anyone else would ever read it. I wrote because the page was the only place that felt safe enough for the truth.

Over time, the writing became a story. The story became a book. The book became prompts. The prompts became invitations. And those invitations became conversations with people who discovered they weren't as alone as they thought.

Whatever you've been carrying, you are welcome here.
