Why a wolf?

Why did he start this writing journey?
As a quiet soul for most of his life, Avalon believes he writes better than he speaks. Writing became his voice when he stepped out of his comfort zone. It’s been his tool for navigating through life's darkness, storms, and battles. It’s a way for him to process, feel and heal. Over the years, he's gained invaluable knowledge and is eager to share what has helped him on his journey. Despite writing being his trusty tool, his voice is finally catching up as he routinely and boldly exercises that muscle.
What does he write about?
Avalon is not your traditional poet, nor does he want to be. Speaking directly from his heart and soul, he aims for simplicity with depth. His writing is easy to digest, yet thought-provoking and emotionally stirring. His core belief: Soul expression is my sole intention.
With a Christian background, Avalon’s work often carries spiritual and faith-based themes and tones. He’s battled chronic illness for over a decade, from his teens into adulthood. This struggle has shaped his wisdom and perspective. As a curious teen, he read a lot about revolutionaries and freedom fighters. He’s passionate about freedom, resilience and self-empowerment.
Avalon is passionate about preaching resilience, taking risks, standing firm in faith and confronting difficult emotions. He advocates for mental freedom and self-empowerment, while also tackling the issues of deception, corruption and the evils in the world.
