"There's so much, whether it's through social media or just every day life where it's all bottled up. I love poetry… just being able to kind of relieve all of that," McLaughlin said in an interview to LA Times.

McLaughlin added that she often writes to her younger self: "Sometimes I'll write to a six-year-old me, who has dreams and aspirations to be where she is right now. Sometimes it's about my faith, my relationship with my husband or even just track in general."
