Monica Chaves
Writer in Residence
“I write to stay awake to the life I am living, not to package it into lessons.”
Hi, I’m Monica. I write from inside my life, not after the fact and not from a distance. I’m interested in what happens when you pay attention to your choices as you’re making them, when you let moments register fully because you understand they matter.
I don’t write to resolve things or package them into lessons. I write to stay awake, to the weight of decisions, the texture of relationships, and the way ordinary moments quietly shape who we become.
RestlessUrban gives me a place to explore that kind of presence. Through personal stories and close observation, I write about living intentionally, feeling fully, and staying engaged with the life you’re already in.
