"I have been a great critic of myself for most of my life, and I was darned good at it, deflating my own ego without the help of anyone else."
Words We Carry focuses around women's self-esteem issues. My essays focus on my own experiences I suffered from my younger years when I was left to feel inadequate and harbored a deep inferiority complex.
Being a memoir, the stories are told through my own struggles, and I share the methods I used to try and conquer my feelings of low self-esteem.
The stories progress with the impact that the residual damages have on our feelings of insecurity as we carry through into life and relationships.

Restless waves
This is a story about me. I loved, and I lost. Everything I could gather from the fragments of my memories, emotions, and reflections, I've poured onto the pages of this book. It's not just a tale of heartbreak or longing-it's an attempt to make sense of it all, to piece together what remains after life takes away what matters most. These pages hold my joys, my regrets, and everything in between. If you've ever loved deeply, if you've ever lost something irreplaceable, then perhaps you'll find a part of yourself here too.Complete
Scars and Roots: The Whisper of a Broken Past
She was the girl who carried the weight of the past on her shoulders, who endured pain in silence. Now, she is the woman who carries hope instead of pain. She walks with her head held high, smiles with more light, and moves forward with a strength she never knew she had. YOU ARE NOT YOUR CHILDHOOD TRAUMA You are not the pain you have lived through. You are not the wounds that have scarred you. You are the strength you found to rise again, the light you chose to follow, the future you decided to build. Your story is not just what happened to you, but what you choose to become.
Dear ...
This is my story to "you". This is a story about loving someone so much and after all else you don't always get the happily ever after that you always want. No matter the fighting and clinging towards this love. Sometimes the only thing you have left is the memories. This became a story for me to heal my wounds and grow into the woman I am now. I am publishing my story because for so long I have been writing this story for one person but I think others can relate and empathize with this story.
