I am constantly creating, I write, I paint, I also have my own product — Shannon Esra

"It has always been the most natural thing in the world to me"

"It’s a beautiful thing to embody someone else’s experience, to forget yourself in the pursuit of relaying someone else’s love, pain, and healing"

"It’s also a challenge to push myself into spaces I may not be entirely comfortable with to grow, to transform."

"Through breath, pace, and being present in the words themselves"

"when you know each word written on that page, when you get so deep into the writing, the story, and the meaning, the familiarity of it allows you to fall into it. It just comes."

"It’s okay to laugh at hard things – and we must laugh. Life is filled with light and shade"
