Loving You More Than MyselfHaving this love for you when I don’t even have enough love for myself. Pouring from an empty cup, giving you the warmth I forgot to keep for me…

Hello, I'm Loreta
I am a poet writing as LC Poetry. I love to write. It is how I say the things I find hard to say out loud, about love, solitude and finding myself.
I am also the co-founder of The Sweet Spot Studio, where I help small businesses find the right words and a look that feels like them. The more I work with brands, the more I see the same thing: people buy, read and share because of how something makes them feel.
That is why Connected by Loreta exists. It started as a small poetry page, and it became the place where I link emotions with marketing. I am not a therapist. I am a writer who believes a quiet, kind corner of the internet is worth building.
I link emotions with marketing
Through The Sweet Spot Studio I use words and design to create meaningful connections. Every lesson I learn there feeds my writing, and the other way round.
I’m a big animal lover 🐶🐱
From cats to dogs, I believe animals have the purest souls. They’ve taught me the importance of unconditional love.
Poetry is my escape 🖋️
Writing poetry helps me release my thoughts and find peace within myself. It’s my refuge.
The infinity symbol is my reminder
Much like my poetry, growth and the pursuit of truth are endless. There’s always something new to discover within ourselves.
