Author bio

I am an autistic teen who writes under the name of Kangee, my favorite Magic: The Gathering card. I am a proud female in STEM, born-again Christian, FIRST Robotics Alumni, and speedcuber. My three favorite short stories that have blown my mind or made me want to cry are - How to Win a Game of Chess Without Really Trying by Katy B - Okayish Kids by Liv Chocolate - Butter & Cream by Deidra Whitt Lovegren . . . I have learned now that while those who speak about one's miseries usually hurt, those who keep silent hurt more. - C.S. Lewis I've been on my own But trust me, I'm okay, just Need some time to think I need to walk it out I know that you love me But I don't think you can help me Let me walk in circles I'll be back around - half*alive We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life. - Tennessee Williams Endless days of complaints Forcing the light to our veins Keeping the hope in our minds One day life will be kind - Aurora Aksnes But a mermaid has no tears, and therefore she suffers so much more. - Hans Christian Anderson As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food day and night, while men say to me all day long, "Where is your God? - Psalm 42: 1-3 | NIV I was painting a picture The picture was a painting of you And for a moment I thought you were here But then again, it wasn't true - Aurora Aksnes
