If you’re reading this, hi I’m Sonia, the founder of Sonia’s Narrative. What started off as a side hobby slowly turned into something much more to me, almost like a purpose. What began as notes on my phone and lines I didn’t think much of at the time slowly turned into something I started shaping into my own vision.
I don’t really write to make it seem like I have everything figured out. I write to keep it real with all of you. There’s a certain beauty in our messy realities, the kind you don’t always notice until you sit with it for a while. I see that beauty through a poetic lens that I think we all carry, whether we acknowledge it or not. To me, poetry is a lost art I want to help keep alive, and in my own way, keep the legacies of the greats going for as long as my quill has ink.
As the founder, it has been one of my greatest pleasures watching this account grow, talking to you guys about your experiences, and seeing how we relate to each other through our shared understandings of the world. When I first started, I thought it would just be a place to display my poems in one space. But over time, it became more than that. People found their own meaning in it, and that’s something I didn’t plan for, but deeply value, the impact words can have when they land in the right place.
Most of what I write comes from observation more than anything else. The way people speak, leave, stay quiet, or carry things they don’t fully understand yet. I think I understand things better when I take time to reflect and put them into words (and maybe I enjoy the process too). Outside of this, I’m into philosophy, culture, and storytelling. I’ve always been drawn to depth, even as a kid, constantly asking the bigger questions which my parents didn’t always have answers to. The way I see it, my writing is simple on the surface, but there’s usually something more layered sitting underneath.
With all of that being said,I can't wait for you all to see what the future holds and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your endless support and for your appreciation of the art of timeless ink.
