I’m Noah Vale.
I’m a “writer” living somewhere between breaking and becoming. After years of wrestling with anxiety, burnout, and the gap between who I was and who I wanted to be, I started The Violin in Me as a place to stay honest with myself.
Here, I write about mental health, therapy, marriage, fatherhood, and the small, quiet moments that often go unnoticed in highlight reels. I’m not offering advice or clean answers – just real stories from someone trying to stay a little more in tune with his own heart and mind.
The Journey of Self-Discovery
This space is for the thoughts we don’t always say out loud. Through anonymous, honest essays and reflections, I explore fear, grief, hope, and the slow work of becoming more myself. If any of it resonates, you’re welcome to walk alongside me—one honest moment at a time.
