In August 2023, I self-published Random Thoughts & F*cked Up Answers*—not as a whisper, but as a head first plunge into the unknown. Then life (as it does) handed me more chaos, more clarity, and a few storylines I didn’t ask for. 

Cue the revamp.

Now, as of January 2025, I relaunched a sharper, wittier, and even more unfiltered version of this beast.

Curious? Scroll down to see what the fuss is about.

My story? Not a fairytale. I grew up with unresolved trauma—verbal and physical abuse that left scars—but it also gave me the whetstone that sharpened my voice to not just survive this life, but to thrive as I cut through the noise.

RTFUA isn’t just a “wannabe” writers memoir—it’s a reckoning wrapped in wit. You will be thrown on an emotional rollercoaster. I hold nothing back. My work is for the ones who have been silenced, dismissed, buried under their own battles, or those who need an entertaining, mind-entanglement time-filler.

My mission? To reach the ones who have walked through hell, ditched the pity party, and chose a purposeful life full of inspiration. For those who deny living a life of paralysis, in the hopes that I ignite my awakening fire in you.

If you’re just here to be entertained—nose deep in a fun take on chaos—buckle up. My grit ‘n’ wit is full of original metaphors and then some. I am confident that my work is well worth the ride—my confessions don’t play nice—but they will keep you turning pages.

While my debut rooted itself in nonfiction, my restless imagination is already kicking down genre doors, ready to provoke thought, stir-up emotions, and connect to those who have lived similar experiences.

With soul, scars, and unapologetic sass-i-tude,
Monique

We never know how One’s hourglass is built or when One’s last spec of sand will fall. This is why I live with mindful respect and gratitude for each moment.
