Welcome
to the Journey









Poet. Soul seeker. Wild traveler. Gentle disruptor.
Hey, I’m L.C.
I’ve survived chaos, crash outs, heartbreaks, spiritual deconstruction, and too many late-night flights to nowhere. And I’ve made art out of all of it.
This is where I offer it back to you.
Through poems, stories, and soul-rooted reflections, I’m here to remind you that healing or your instincts aren’t linear, becoming is messy, and your softness is not weakness—it’s your power.
If you’ve ever felt too much, wandered too far, or wondered if you’re the only one breaking open and becoming new—you’re in the right place.
I’m the author of The Perpetual Journey—a poetic memoir written across six continents and countless versions of self.
And this space is a continuation of that journey.
I’m not here to promise answers.
I’m here to hold space for the questions that matter—the ones that lead you back to yourself.
This is for the ones building something beautiful from the in-between.
For the ones rewriting the story they were told.
For the ones ready to remember who they are—and reclaim it without apology.
Come for the poetry—
Stay for the remembering
