Lauren Hope Bartling

Hi, I'm Lauren!

I’m a writer, poet, storyteller, dreamer, and an over-thinker.

I attended Liberty University and graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a minor in Creative Writing. I fell in love with writing, specifically poetry, in middle school and began writing poetry, prose, personal essays, and short stories in high school.

I have a tendency for verbosity so I’m always writing. I write about my life. Topics include, but are not limited to: childhood trauma, mental illness, pain, anger, sadness, betrayal, love, infatuation, and anything that gives me inspiration.

In my free time, when I'm not writing, I enjoy listening to Taylor Swift, thrift shopping, watching movies and TV shows (namely K-Dramas), and spending far too much time on social media.
