Under the Cedar Trees

Sidebar

I'm a middle-aged nobody breathing one day at a time in Canada while screaming into the world through the written word.

Under the Cedar Trees is a cathartic outlet for unmasking and processing navigating life through a lens of mental illness and ASD. Random thoughts and creations regarding any topics that come to mind and need to be voiced may also be shared here.
