welcome! i'm so glad you're here :)

I'm Erika and I am passionate about exploring the beauty of language and how it is instrumental to self-expression. 

Here at A Messy Inkling, we illuminate a realm of writings and explore the limitless possibilities and opportunities that come alongside the written word. 

​

I gradually fell in love with writing: 

I enjoy talking, a lot, and I enjoy reading, too much. 

I also enjoy writing. Essentially, I like anything to do with words. 

I believe in the transformational impact of both spoken and written communication and desire to use them to edify and inspire. I recognize the importance of being able to effectively express one's self, whether through a scribble of gibberish, a well-crafted paper, or an expressive narrative. 

I write when I cannot articulate my thoughts out loud, when I have run out of books to read for the time being, and when school requires it. Since young, I've always enjoyed the way words and phrases linked together to form a complete thought. The uniqueness and creativity of every written work immensely intrigued me, and the intentionality of each word chosen stood out, highlighting to me how powerful words can be for better or for worse. ​

​

My writings are nowhere near perfect, and more often than not, I need inspiration to strike (usually at the most random of times) before I can come up with something decently coherent. This blog is simply an archive of some of my writings that I wish to save and share. I hope that you'll be encouraged by them.
