"Seasons" is an exploration of grief, love, abuse, bisexuality, and the neurodivergent experience. "Seasons" is divided into four sections, according to the seasons of the year. Each season corresponds with a life event reflecting the beauty of spring and summer, the harsh chill of winter, or the retrospective contemplation of autumn. "Seasons" is a journey that will lift the reader up, make them cry, and act as a light in the dark for others who have felt abandoned in the shadows.
Hillary Gonzalez is an autistic adult with ADHD, currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland. Hillary is bisexual and identifies as gender-fluid, using she/they pronouns.
Hillary has been a writer her entire life. Hillary began storytelling at a young age, as a means to escape the abuse they experienced as a child. Through poetry, Hillary has been able to begin the healing process and acknowledge the abuse they experienced early in life from their parent, and from abusive boyfriends as an adult.
Hillary’s poems span her experiences as a child, the queer experience and dealing with homophobia, religious trauma, domestic violence and child abuse, being neurodivergent, and learning what it means to have healthy relationships in adulthood.
Hillary hopes that through sharing their story, those who had similar experiences in life will also be able to begin their healing journey.
