Author Description

For those of us who don’t know how to say what we feel, so we turn to art: to music, to painting, to crafts, to poetry. Our expression is limitless. Life is not linear, neither is heartbreak or healing from it. Pain comes in waves; it is calm until it isn’t. Then, you are fighting for your life, trying to stay afloat or to go closer to shore. But you can only fight for so long. It can be so easy to give up. However, eventually the waves die down, and the pain gets easier to bear. This book is for those of us who feel all of this a little too much. I need to thank the people that have helped me stay afloat when I wanted to give up: thank you to my parents and brother for pushing me to write and for always pulling me back up whenever I fell. And thank you to my friends for listening to my poems and never making me feel like I was too much. I love you all. Lastly, thank you dear reader, for picking up this book. I hope it makes you feel seen because you are not alone. I feel with you, I feel for you.
