Cutlean is the balance between pain and comfort, between breaking and healing.
I chose this name because writing became the thing I leaned on during the moments that cut me the deepest. Every story I write carries pieces of me that I could never explain out loud. Some chapters were written from anger, some from loneliness, and some from the quiet hope that maybe someone out there would read my words and feel understood.
So Cutlean is not just a pen name to me. It has sentimental value.
That even if life cuts through you again and again, you are still allowed to lean.
Lean on memories.
Lean on dreams.
Lean on people who stay.
Lean on stories that make you feel less alone.
And if my writing can become that place for someone to lean on when it cuts, even just once, then maybe this name has already fulfilled its purpose.
