I Learned to Find Myself First is a collection of poems about growing through the quiet things no one talks about-the loneliness, the comparisons, the overthinking, the feeling of being invisible even when you're right there.
This is the softer, healing side of everything I once wrote from hurt. Where "invisible in plain sight" was about not being seen, this is about finally seeing yourself.
These poems are for the girl who felt left out, who loved too hard, who stayed quiet when she had so much to say. The girl who questioned her worth, waited for people to choose her, and learned the hard way that not everyone will.
But this time, it's different.
This book is about choosing yourself. About unlearning the idea that you have to be picked to be worthy. About finding confidence, peace, and happiness within-not from someone else.
It's still honest. Still real.
Just... lighter.
A reminder that healing doesn't mean forgetting who you were-
it means finally becoming who you needed.
