Hi, I’m Aerwyna—the writer behind Uniquely Mermaid. Everything you’ll read here is original: mermaid stories and sea poetry shaped by wonder, longing, and the darker pressure of the deep. What swims through the depths of my thoughts doesn’t always rise to the surface. Words sometimes drown in silence. Still, I bring up what I can and set it here for you—among the mermaid stories and the sea poetry. If you’d like to know the person behind the pages, you can read more about me here.

Thank you for joining me on this journey through words inspired by mermaids and the sea. May they empower you as they have empowered me. Let's continue to be friends of the ocean together.
