Hey, I’m Marie-Louise – a recovering heartbroken and beautifully imperfect mess. Welcome to my world.

Writing has always been my refuge, a space where I can unravel the tangled threads of emotions too big for my heart to carry on its own. There’s something sacred about putting pen to paper and the quiet whispers of my thoughts are finally allowed to spill out. In those moments, my mind can rest, and the chaos inside me transforms into something I can understand. I’ve always written to search for answers, to make sense of life’s endless questions – both the big ones and the small ones that catch me off guard. The ones that slip through the cracks of everyday life and demand attention, even when I’m not quite ready to face them.

Every word I write is a reflection of what’s inside me: the raw ache of heartbreak, the quiet joy of little moments that often go unnoticed, and the love  – the messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, fleeting and forever kind of love. The one that shapes who we are and defines the way we experience life – not as something static, but as something constantly evolving. The kind of love that can break you and rebuild you in the same breath.

Every word I write, has always been an attempt to capture the essence of these feelings, the highs and lows that make us human. There’s no formula to it, no perfect way to express what I’m trying to say. I don’t have all the answers – hardly any, really. But what I do know is that writing allows me to piece together the fragments of myself, to find clarity in the chaos, and to share that clarity with you. It’s my way of showing up in the world, messy and vulnerable, and hoping that someone, somewhere, might resonate with these pieces of me.

Life is unpredictable. Love is complicated. And we are all just trying to figure it out as we go. And if my words can offer a glimmer of light – if they can make you feel understood, seen, or just a little less alone in this world – then I’ve reached my goal.

This space, these poems and thoughts, is a reflection of the messy, complicated, and often beautiful journey that we’re all on. I write because I don’t always have the answers, but I can think more clearly and dive into another world, where I find the connections that make life feel a little less overwhelming. And this is what I want to share with you. So if you’ve stumbled here, I hope you find something that speaks to you. Whether it’s a word, a line, or a feeling – I hope it resonates. And if it does, then this space is exactly what it was meant to be.

All the love
