Before the Echo
** She spent her childhood searching for love in all the wrong places - longing for a father's approval that never came, comparing herself to a sister she could never measure up to, and carrying the weight of the words that told her she would never be enough.

Told with raw honesty and unflinching vulnerability, this memoir is a journey through childhood wounds, family secrets, and the quiet battles of self-worth. It is about learning to face the mirror, to confront the lies we have been told, and to find strength in the very places we once felt broken. For anyone who has ever felt unseen, unworthy, or unloved, this story is a reminder that the pain does not define us - and that even in the darkest chapters, hope can still be found.Complete
WHEN THE RAIN FORGOT TO FALL
I wrote this because I needed to survive it. Because there are some feelings too big for silence. Some heartbreaks too heavy to carry alone. This isn't fiction. This is my heart, broken open and rearranged into verse. "I saw you standing where the sidewalk curves, and suddenly my chest knew different words." - That's how it started. A glance. A stranger. A feeling I couldn't ignore. "You said we needed to talk. Those five words, I knew. I already knew." - And that's how it ended. Not with fire. With silence. I won't tell you that time heals all wounds. I won't say everything happens for a reason. I won't pretend heartbreak makes you stronger. But I will show you that: You can survive what you think will destroy you. You can break and still become beautiful. You can love someone and lose them and still be whole. You can be your own happy ending. I wrote these poems with tears on my face. I wrote them on good days when I forgot to hurt. Every word is something I actually felt. Every line is a moment I actually lived. "You are not broken. You are breaking open. And that's where the light gets in." - That's what this taught me. That's what I hope it gives you, the comfort of knowing you're not alone.Complete
