Leanna Bishop Writes
Essays For People Who Think Too Much and Feel It All
I write about what happens beneath the visible layers of a life.
The nervous system beneath success, the silence beneath connection, the repair beneath the rupture, the parts of us that fracture, and the parts that decide to stay.
This is where I think in public. This is where I work things through
This is where I stay human in the chaos.
