what if your life
led sideways?
A memoir about identity,
reinvention, and the in-between.
Not in circles. Not off course.
Just somewhere you never planned —
and somehow needed to go.

Inside Just a Little Buzzed
Just a Little Buzzed is a memoir about the in-between —
when you’re no longer who you were, and not yet who
you’re becoming.
It’s not a survival story.
It’s a reclamation.
No neat lessons. No tidy bows.
Just a life: messy, nonlinear, and still becoming.
Told the way change actually unfolds —
jagged, tender, and a little out of breath.
About Taira
Taira works at the intersection of dance, design, and storytelling — and refuses to choose just one.
She’s drawn to fractured timelines, unfinished edges, and the kind of details you only catch when you’re paying odd attention. She writes the way she talks — sideways, trusting every detour to land exactly where it should.
Off the page, she brings a dancer’s discipline and a designer’s eye to shaping stories, brands, and voices that leave a mark.
She is the founder of split & type, a creative imprint for nonlinear narratives and unconventional voices.
Just a Little Buzzed is her first book —
part confession, part detour map.
