About Assyla Asylum
I know what you are really here for.
It’s pronounced UH-SIGH-LA UH-SIGH-LUM.
This is not my real name. This is also not a “Hannah Montana” moment.
My name is Alyssa and I am a twenty-three-year-old living in South Florida with my amazing fiancé, Jacob, and our two fur-babies (Frenchies): Joji and Rosie. As of right now, I am working a “typical” nine-to-five job and finishing my college education. This schedule does not leave a lot of time to write; however, last year, 2020, I was more than able to find some time.
Truth is, SUGAR RUSH has been in the works for roughly five years. Over the course of the past five years, I have endured many obstacles that took time away from being able to do what I truly love to do - write. Unfortunately, this had an adverse effect on my mental health. I had never been great at verbalizing my thoughts or emotions, so I picked up a pen. Since then, writing has always been my passion, and now I am ready, and confident enough, to share it with you.
My debut poetry collection, SUGAR RUSH, will give you a peek as to what really goes on inside this noggin - a lobotomy of my psyche, if you will.
