Lauren Haug Fisher

Artist.

AuDHD Style.

I am Lauren Haug Fisher.

I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1996. I currently live in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada.

I delve within to create music, write, draw, perform and collaborate in community.

Portrait of Lauren. Lauren has short brown hair, blue eyes and wears a denim top. They sport bold eye makeup. There is bronze shadow on their eyelids surrounded by blue eye shadow spreading out. Shimmery white lines each upper lid. Black eyeliner juts out from the outer corners and underlines the eyes, coming to a point below each tear duct.

Selected Writings

  • Here I Am

    All the screaming, diving onto the bed / Punching pillows, tears staining the sheets / My face, the softness of my heart / Spilling over with gut-wrenching confusion. Read more

  • Skittles

    Teeth crunch sweet skittles.  The sugary compounds break down.  The experience is a short and quick euphoria.  Swallow.  The taste lingers on my tongue.  Eyes dart down.  Purple bag.  Berry flavour.  I shove some more in my mouth.  Read more

  • I Am a Tree

    Often I fear / I will never bloom / Yet I see the others / Step into their glory / And I feel myself / Sturdier and more understanding Read more

  • Goodie Goodie

    Goodie goodie two shoes. Be the good Christian girl. Careful, you must not blow a fuse. I’m depressed; it’s suppressed anger. So I revolt. It’s all my fault, yet not my fault at all. Read more

  • 20°C in March

    My eyes are melting.  They’re dry, yet sweaty.  I’m not used to this heat.  20°C is such a contrast from the gloomy days of rainy downpour and frost on my windshield.  Still, in the summer months, it will reach the mid 30’s °C.  It may reach above 40°C during severe heat waves.  Still, I welcome today’s warmth.

  • “Christianity Has a Consent Problem”: Reflections on My Faith Journey

    I started listening to the “Holy Smokes: Cigars and Spirituality” podcast.  The messages and experiences shared by Kristian A. Smith and his guests resonate with me and encourage me to reconsider my faith and my actions. In “Christianity Has a Consent Problem” Kristian asks if listeners heard consent discussed in church.

  • Jonah

    This is Jonah.  She’ll greet you politely, ask if you are well, and smile with cherry lips and grey eyes like quartz stone.  Her handshake is fairly solid.  She was once told that a handshake can leave quite the impression and she vowed hers would be one with surety.  Her brown hair is short right now, the ends curling… Read more

  • To Love Them

    Can you love them in the ways that launches them to bask in their dreams? Or will you love them only to hold them back? Read more

  • The Traumatized Autist

    I’m Autistic. I’m artistic. Don’t mistake, I’m worth listening. I’m awkward… Weirdly forward or not forward enough. I’m too busy overanalyzing and fighting with myself. Read more
