ephemeral

introduction

hello friends.

this book has been in the works for a very, very long time. as i have begun to navigate my life, i have learned many hard lessons and been hurt in unimaginable ways. everything lost its meaning. poetry, friendship, love, and life itself. my words became mute and nonexistent as i went on my way.

but as the summer continues on, i have found meaning in everything again. i have met people who have helped me through, i have found places that are safe havens, and i have taken an incredible amount of time to heal. the result of that? this book.

in milk and honey by rupi kaur, she writes "how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you". i took that to heart as i embarked on that journey to become my better self. i thank her for her inspiring poems and words 🤍

in this book, i have written an incredible amount of love poems for the boys of my dreams, for loving myself, and for loving life again. i hope that you can find something lovely in this book and enjoy this journey with me.

prendre plaisir,
