I’m Sofia Silvestri, and this is SisThought— just my initials, just my thoughts. No filters, no expectations, no labels. Just me, turning what I feel into something real.

For years, I kept myself hidden, afraid of being seen, of what others might think if they saw the truth of who I am. But in the quiet, creation was the only thing that ever felt like truth. Writing, painting, capturing fleeting moments—these are the ways I find myself when everything else feels out of place. When my mind is a storm, it’s creativity that calms it.

Creation has quite literally saved my life—it’s the breath in my lungs when everything else feels too heavy. It’s the way I can make sense of the noise, the only language that doesn’t need translation. I don’t create for applause, for validation, or for recognition. I create because it’s how I stay connected to myself. It’s the only way I know how to exist fully.

SisThought is a space for everything I’ve made—poetry, paintings, photographs, videos, and even the necklaces I craft by hand. It’s a place for what feels like me, what’s deeply personal, not for validation, but for presence. Right now, this site holds only a fraction of what I’ve created, but over time, I hope it will hold more.

Living with OCD and ADHD, my creativity often feels like both a gift and a challenge. Some days it’s a strength, others it’s a struggle to finish what I start. But that’s the nature of it—imperfect, ever-changing. This space, like me, is a work in progress. It’s not meant to be anything other than what it is: a sanctuary for creation, a place to explore and express, free from pressure. If it resonates with you, that’s enough. If it encourages you to create your own, even better.

SisThought is about being unapologetically yourself—embracing the quiet chaos of creativity and finding meaning in what you make. It’s also about vulnerability: the courage to show up, the strength to be seen for who you are, without needing anyone’s approval. Posting my art isn’t for compliments or opinions, but to remind myself—and others—that we all wear masks, sometimes more than we’d like to admit. It’s about being vulnerable enough to share my thoughts with the world, knowing judgment will come, no matter what. And still, standing proudly and saying, “Hey, that’s me.” I hope that in doing so, others might find the courage to embrace themselves as I once struggled to. Thank you to those who taught me that it’s okay to be yourself. Maybe it’s something that comes with age or experience, but my hope is that SisThought will help others find the same peace within themselves—and maybe spark a little creativity along the way.

Call me a writer, a painter, a photographer- titles don’t matter. I’m simply Sofia. (S)ofia (I)sabella (S)ilvestri. And these are my thoughts, hence the name: SisThought.
