Analei Skye. Hi, I’m Analei, “Some hearts aren’t meant to be tamed. they’re meant to run free until they find someone wild enough to run with them.” ~ anonymous

According to my age, I am meant to be a responsible adult, but it isn’t going well at all. I would still head off to Jane Austen land tomorrow and I suspect there isn’t a secret passage I haven’t explored hoping to time warp into another galaxy. I’ve been known to wake up at 3 am to see a meteor shower just because and am notorious for not needing to know the final destination of a road trip. It’s about the journey, right? I believe a life isn’t being lived unless you’re making your own rules. No pre-boxed life path for me, please. I prefer bare feet to shoes, wild hair blowing in the wind to tied up neatly, iced coffee to hot, one ride-or-die friend to a million acquaintances, salty to sweet, deep conversation to small talk, the book is always better than the movie and I follow my heart over my head-always.In all my years on this planet I have two fixed beliefs: Love is the answer to all the world’s problems, and within each human exists infinite potential; I’m attempting to unlock mine. In the game of life, I would put all my belongings to chance and try for a shot at paradise because really what’s the point in settling? I’d rather lose it all and have an incredible story to tell than settle for safe- no contest.  I’m an experiential writer. When the muse nudges and a character is born, I follow them down the rabbit hole and experience alongside them—”character research” with friends is the best! I don’t write the character, they write themselves, I’m simply the pen giving them form. Writers are my tribe, and the written word is my journey. Sometimes I forget my pen-name and when people call me by it I fail to respond, but can you be a “real” writer without one? Welcome to this wildly messy, highly entertaining, painfully awkward, meanderingly focused, surrendered to the infinite thing I call my life.
