🕯 Hey there — I’m Makayla.

I write about the strange, the sad, and the things that don’t always have neat endings. I’ve always been drawn to the stories that linger — the unsolved, the uncomfortable, the ones whispered about but rarely understood.

Before writing became my main outlet, I worked as a teacher. I have a degree in Foundation Phase Education, and honestly, teaching shaped a lot of who I am — especially my love for creativity and storytelling. Watching young kids bring wild ideas to life reminded me how powerful imagination really is.

I hope you find something in these pages that stays with you.

Thanks for being here.
