If you’ve ever struggled to explain what you’re feeling…
If you’ve ever needed to know that someone else understands…
This book is for you.
Writing these poems was deeply personal, but my biggest hope is that readers find pieces of themselves inside these pages.
Thank you to everyone who has supported my creative journey, whether through photography, kind words, or simply being here. It truly means more than you know.
