Hi there dear reader
I’m Kira, and if you’d like to know a little more about my creative journey, you’ve come to the right place.
I’m a poet/writer, artist, witch, tarot reader, traveler, and so much more. So many parts of myself come together here, in my writing and spiritual work, so I’m excited to share it with you.

My creative journey
As a child, I wrote poetry, songs, and short stories all the time. But, like most people, I grew up with the narrative that I needed to constantly improve and work hard or I would never be good enough to get anywhere, and it stole the creative spark. Turning creativity and art into work can suck the joy and passion right out of it; you get lost in perfectionism and criticism. So, at some point, I just stopped writing. I pursued other creative ventures, but they always fizzled out eventually.
I only picked writing back up in 2020, when I ended the long-term relationship I’d been in for 8 years and it left me searching for myself.
When I first started trying to write poetry again, that inner critic and perfectionist flooded my mind, but instead of listening to it, I reconnected with my inner child and let her do the writing. I realized that my poetry didn’t have to look a certain way or follow any strict rules or guidelines to be good. What mattered was how it made me feel and how much I liked it. Turns out, the key to a creative flow is radical self-acceptance and love, as cheesy as it might sound.
So, moral of the story is to create like there are no rules; let that little version of yourself, who wasn’t told yet that there’s a “right way” to do art, lead the way. A whole universe of expression is just waiting inside of you.
With all my love,
K. Sky
