She started writing when she was in eighth grade, after she was bullied and had met her first heartbreak. Writing was her escape, paper is her only therapist. Conley says, "Poetry is my way of coping and an outlet. I realized it was my therapy and without it, I wouldn't be able to share it with you. I want others to know that poetry will be your therapist when you feel that there is no one else. Let the pen spill its ink, you will feel 100 times better."
