Hi and welcome! My name is Marissa. I am a 27-year-old writer and grad student who lives in Chicago! I’ve always loved to write. Growing up I wrote a lot of short stories, comics, and poetry. I had a blog for my writing in undergrad and then started an Instagram account for my writing in 2023. Towards the end of 2024, I decided I wanted to get back to writing more long-form content and decided to launch my Substack. Writing has always been such a healing outlet for me, and it always helps me ground and come back to myself. I hope this can be a safe and healing space for you as you read. Thank you for subscribing to “Love, Riss” I’m so happy you’re here.
