Honest reflections of our beautiful and chaotic human experience.

I just want to touch you in ways my hands could never.

Hello friend. My name is Maria Paula Chau, and I started writing before I learned how to properly wipe my butt. I’m madly in love with life, not because it’s perfect, but because it’s not. I want everyone to feel what I mean when I say that. That’s why I’m here. I’m grateful you’re here, too.
