I cuss. Sometimes, I cuss a lot.

Hi, I’m Roxy, and I’m thrilled to share a little about myself with you. I started writing in the summer of 2021, during a difficult time in my life when I was feeling disconnected from everything, including my family. Writing became my outlet for making sense of the chaos, and I began to share pieces of myself that had been bottled up for far too long. It all started during a dinner at a resort when I opened my laptop, and words just flowed out. My writing is raw, honest, and personal, touching on everything from mental health and relationships to some less conventional topics, but I see my readers as my best friends, so I’m unfiltered with them.

I write under the pen name Roxy for a few reasons. The topics I dive into can be intensely personal—divorce, mental health, and even erotica—so keeping some distance between my writing life and my day-to-day life helps me maintain some boundaries. Writing as Roxy gives me the freedom to be unapologetically myself without worrying about making awkward eye contact with my parents. My work is not for everyone, and I’m okay with that. People either love or hate the way I approach my experiences, but I promise it’s always real, and it’s always me.

When I started writing, it was a form of therapy, but I quickly realized how much others connected with my stories. I cover topics like addiction, divorce, and cancer, not because they’re easy, but because my honesty resonates with people who may be struggling too. I don’t subscribe to the idea of toxic positivity—life can be really messy, and I embrace that in my writing. My goal is to share my journey, make people laugh, and hopefully help someone feel less alone. I might cuss a bit, but I promise there’s always a deeper message behind my words.
