What is Coffee Table Reads

Hello!

I have always found myself overwhelmed by the endless possibilities presented to me, overloading my schedule in high school with every art, film, writing, photography, and acting class I could, only to get upset over the ones I couldn’t fit in. Years later, I still haven’t signed up for a pottery class, still finding myself incredibly overwhelmed. That is exactly where Coffee Table Reads was born — In the confusion of wanting to do it all, I have chosen to write about it.

Coffee Table Reads flourishes on the scribbled ideas, half-finished thoughts in your journal, and forgotten reflections in your notes app.

My goal is to provide an outlet, a different point of view, or simply a break from the chaos of life. To show that the vibrant, creative lifestyle you crave is on the other side of self-doubt.

If this table offers anything, I want it to be a warm, inviting cup of new beginnings — a place to sit comfortably with yourself. So, pull up a chair. Stay as long as you need.

As I share my story through fulfillment — keeping my creative fire alive, I hope to give you the room to discover your spark.
