In the beginning this collection had no apparent direction. I used to write aimlessly, only to appease my own satisfactions. It lacked cohesion and uniformity and I tried so hard to format my poems, my own feelings to suit some kind of primordial acclaimed cohesion and it drained me. Then I took a psychology class my junior year of high school, it was the best class I ever decided to take. In the process of trying to publish a collection, we were learning about adolescence and that's when it hit me! I was so lost, so confused, trying to stumble my way about the world of publishing due to what Hall calls a time of "storm and stress." I learned of many psychologists theories and thoughts regarding adolescence and I just thought it was a beautiful concept. I identified with Mead and Hall's theories the most. As Hall claimed, adolescence is marked by storms and stress. But as Margaret Mead claimed, it's also rather enjoyable and I think there's this unequivocal beauty to it. I wrote all of these verses, and fragments in a time of either great joy or great dissatisfaction, in shambles or in comforts; they are all products of my youth and I hope you're as fond of them as I am. So here is to the heartbreaks and the confusions. Here's to the quests for world peace, lost friends, new loves, internal angst and anxiety.

❝This is the love I fail to say. One that caused him to go away, for our love was never made to stay.❞ - all of the poems are mine :) #1 in Poetry 26/05/17 ! Thank you for reading♡ New book 'Everything You Never Knew' is out!

i feel like people are leaving me and i don't know why. → hr : 2PO © 2017 freyyyaa NOTE_2020: previously had an "alllivesmatter" tag on this book. it was added when this story was first started in 2017 to share my belief that all lives matter, regardless of gender, orientation, race, ethnicity, ability, etc. that tag was absolutely NOT associated with the alllivesmatter movement - that movement does not reflect the actual belief that all lives do matter. i have removed it now as the meaning behind the phrase 'all lives matter' is associated with a white supremacist ideology that is now being used to oppose and try to silence the Black Lives Matter movement. all lives will matter when black lives, trans lives, indigenous lives, and all other oppressed groups are included in that. i hope that one day the phrase 'all lives matter' will no longer be a weapon used to suppress and silence civil rights but as a matter of fact. #BLM
