This collection began as a compilation of poems scattered across my diary (lovingly referred to as The Green Book), my laptop, and my phone, written from my early teens to my thirties. What started as a manuscript of 13 poems has now grown into something much more expansive.

These poems explore themes of self-worth, self-acceptance, and the many challenges we face in life—success and failure, love and grief, betrayal, spirituality and silence. Each piece is an offering to those who have ever carried a quiet yearning or struggled to accept themselves as they are and let go to the restrictive norms that we are fed from a young age.

I hope that these words provide encouragement, courage, and wisdom—and that they serve as a reminder that we are never truly alone on the path to wholeness. If they inspire even one reader to look inward and shift from a state of scarcity to one of abundance, then this work has fulfilled its purpose.
