Note from the author:

Hello! My journey as a poet has been shaped by a dual passion for the written word and the human psyche, which I had the privilege of exploring during my time at Johns Hopkins University, where I earned a BA in Creative Writing and Psychology.

I have been writing poetry since I was seven years old, and over the years, have come to understand the incredible power it holds in helping us navigate our feelings. Poetry is a timeless art form and an intimate conversation with the self and the world.

This collection is a culmination of my own experiences and a call to action to you, the reader, to embark on your own journey of self-expression through the written word. In a world that often asks us to stifle our emotions, I hope these verses encourage you to embrace them, both the big and the small, with an open heart and a blank page.

Mental health awareness has always been close to my heart, and I firmly believe that writing can be a powerful tool for healing. Whether you are navigating the heights of joy or the depths of sorrow, let the poems and questions in this book be your confidant, your solace, and your celebration.

I am so grateful for your support and so excited for you to have a piece of me and make it your own. Happy reading!
