This book is a compilation of poems, reworked and woven together for this project, each one carrying a piece of something I've created and can finally share with the world. I often think of this collection as my self-titled "album." In the same way a musician gives listeners the deepest, most vulnerable parts of their soul through music, these poems are my way of doing the same through words. In many ways, this book is also my autobiography, just written in poetry. These pages take you through different stages of my life. They tell stories of my childhood, my dreams and aspirations, and the moments when I lost my way. They explore the highs and lows of adulthood, college, and life after graduation, the lessons I learned, the mistakes I made, the people I loved, and the person I was becoming along the way. But not every story in these pages belongs to me. Within my own story, I wanted to tell another. This book also follows the love journey of a young man whose experiences are not my own. I thought there was something beautiful about creating a story within a story, allowing fiction and reality to exist together, each revealing something different about love, pain, growth, and the human experience. More than anything, I hope you enjoy this journey. I hope you find pieces of yourself within these pages, and I hope you can learn from both my happiness and my mistakes. If these poems can remind us that even through our darkest seasons, there is still something within us capable of growing, then this collection has served its purpose. I pray we all bloom together. 🌱 Content Warning: This collection is intended for a mature audience. It contains themes and references involving sex, sexual assault, suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, and other mature subject matter. Reader discretion is advised.
