Ana Kintsugi
Beneath a collection of shards held together by threads of life, I believe that each person carries the gift of being happy.
The Author
I have been writing since the age of five, scribbling on small scraps of paper to distribute to strangers. Writing is not a choice for me; it’s a necessity. Without it, I suffer from intense headaches and a sense of suffocation.
My work grapples with the erosion of individual identity and the depletion of the compassion that binds us to the entity we call Humanity. Through my writing, I delve into self-awareness, the potency of the “I Am,” and the complexities of love, pain, and bravery.
I ponder the societal function of poetry and the poet’s role.
For over ten years, in my capacities as a mentor, educator, psychosocial therapist, and confidant, I have listened to countless individuals. I’ve composed poems for them, which served as daily reminders that joy was within their grasp. Witnessing the impact of my words on so many lives has been profoundly transformative and gave birth to AK ANA KINTSUGI Autora®.
Inspiring
An IDEAL guides the writer’s trajectory, embracing inclusion for all; celebrating a diversity that transcends religious and racial barriers; promoting equity; and highlighting self-knowledge as essential to achieving the highest human competence: Love.
Sharing
Since the age of 5, she has been sharing words on pieces of paper, offering them to those in need, marking a path dedicated to writing and meaningful sharing.
Empowering
Freedom, authenticity, humility, empathy, resilience, boldness, focus
I value each experience and reflect on it, so that I can then express my interpretations in a clear and captivating way. It is this attitude of deep reflection on what I see, what I feel, in myself and in so many people, that inspires me and marks the way I write. It is my choices and the results of my reflections that distinguish me as a writer, thinker and artist.
I write about what has an impact on me, what triggers my emotions. And about what makes me rethink concepts. I write, certain that my words will change the way we think, feel and relate. I know that happiness comes from being accepted and feeling reciprocated.
