A.S. Thorne

I’m not here to whisper platitudes or sugarcoat the truth.

I’m here for the ones who are tired of shrinking.
The ones who are done apologizing for their intensity, their honesty, their refusal to stay quiet just to keep the peace.

If you’ve been told you’re too much,
too sharp,
too opinionated,
too aware—

good.
That usually means you noticed something worth naming.

This isn’t a space for playing small or pretending you don’t see what you see.
It’s a space for people who know when to sit in the dark and when to stand up swinging.

You don’t have to be fearless here.
You don’t have to be healed.
You don’t even have to know exactly what you want yet.

You just have to be real.

I’m the friend who will sit beside you quietly when everything hurts—
and the one who will roll up her sleeves with you when it’s time to stop tolerating bullshit.

I believe in tenderness.
I also believe in boundaries with teeth.

I believe in rest.
I also believe in knowing when you’ve rested long enough and it’s time to move.

This space is for people who feel deeply, think critically, and refuse to be managed into silence. For the ones who are kind and capable of burning something down if it needs to go.

If you’re looking for permission to be yourself—
you already have it.

If you’re looking for community—
pull up a chair.

And if you’re looking for someone to stand with you when the moment calls for it—

I’m here.

We don’t start fights.
But we do finish them.
