The life I was leading was exhausting.
My brain was mush because I was thinking too much.
I thought too much, to the point of suffering from overwhelming migraines.
Migraines that clouded even my brightest thoughts.
Migraines that weighed down my most optimistic hopes but...
...above all, migraines that poisoned my darkest thoughts.
"Just One Life" is, as you may have guessed, a collection of my thoughts, raw and unfiltered, and some of them will undoubtedly be disturbing or triggering for some readers. I apologize in advance.
That's why, by way of warning, many of my texts/poems/citations are marked with a "TW", so you know where you stand, because your mental well-being is far more important to me than views or votes, but I'd never say to the latter.
That said, I wish you a pleasant journey into my mind, a mind that once resembled a battlefield more than anything else.
But most of all, I hope this shows you that you're not alone and that healing is possible to the one who believes. 🤍
My Peace Was Steady Until It Wasn't is my journey in poems - through heartbreak, betrayal, grief, love, and survival. It's messy. It's raw. It's the truth of what it feels like to love too deeply, to lose too much, and to still find the strength to rise.
If you've ever felt broken, if you've ever begged the silence for answers, if you've ever loved someone who left you in pieces - these pages are for you.
