When people think of me, I want them to think of love.

Welcome, my name is Lorinda.

I aim share my experiences and my perspective on them in hopes to make a difference, no matter how small it may be.

“Just a girl with big dreams to make the world a better place” has been my bio in every corner of the internet since I was a teenager.

My work lives at the intersection of grief, meaning, embodiment, and art. For over a decade, I have been exploring paradox – how beauty and loss coexist, how healing can be both gentle and disruptive, and how life often asks us to turn things upside-down before they make sense. My offerings are shaped by lived experience, trauma-informed care, peer support and years of holding space for others in moments of rupture and reorientation. My work does not aim to fix or diagnose, but to help people integrate what they have survived into something livable, honest, and their own.

Through writing, visual art, spiritual practice, and guidance, I invite people to reorient – to see the world differently and to meet themselves more truthfully. My work honors slowness, consent, and the intelligence of the body, trusting that meaning is not something we manufacture, but something we remember. My work is ever-evolving as I am ever-changing, learning, and growing.

A Poetic Paradox is not a brand so much as a living practice: a place where grief can be spoken, creativity can hold what words cannot, and transformation is allowed to unfold without spectacle – a place where the tragic can become beautiful, and where curses broken are blessings set free.
