Hi, I'm Curtis. stillwater is the app I wish I'd had.

I've lived through an abusive relationship. I've grieved people I loved deeply. I've been made redundant and had to rebuild from what felt like nothing. There were stretches where just getting out of bed was the bravest thing I did all day.

What pulled me through wasn't a single breakthrough. It was small, repeatable things — a breath when my chest got tight, a sentence in a journal nobody else would read, a quiet check-in with myself before the day swallowed me whole.

Slowly, those small things stacked up into something that looks a lot like contentment. Not a perfect life. A real one I'm proud of.

I'm passionate about helping other people through life's hardest seasons — and reminding them that their own happiness is still in there, waiting.

stillwater is a calm corner of the internet for the things that helped me: tracking how you actually feel, breathing when the noise gets loud, journaling without judgement, a kind voice to talk to at 2am, and a toolkit you can reach for when life gets heavy.

If even one moment in here makes your day a little softer, it was worth building.
