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.

"We're all broken, that's how the light gets in." Sometimes my brain hurts really bad and I write it down in the hopes to find someone who feels the same way.

Is it better to be feared or better to be loved? I'm both. I am feared because I am Mathilda Zelda, warrior Queen of Aina O Koa, victor over seven kingdoms, Slabyy, Xuruo de, Yaghan, Deo Ganghage, Forte, Vitoria, and Sheva. The kings of the lands around my growing empire step carefully. I was feared for my wrath, my skill in battle, for the cobras, scorpions, and lion I keep as pets. For my lipstick made from cobra venom. For my mind which outsmarted many a foe. For basically all I am, I am feared. But once I am a land's new queen, the people grow to love me. Aina O Koa was a dying land when I took the throne, now even my poorest had a roof of their very own over their heads, every single one. My farms are booming, my people can or are learning to read and write, and a vain of diamonds was found. To my people, I am Queen Mathilda Zelda, the best ruler they've ever had. I really don't know whether it was better to be feared or loved.

At 17, Dia carries the weight of a past that most would never recover from. Growing up in a fractured home, love felt like a strange language. Their parents' betrayal of each other wasn't just a secret-it was a slow-burning wildfire, engulfing the family in lies and mistrust. They're forced to confront questions they've always avoided. Can they trust others when their family taught them betrayal? Can they escape a past that refuses to let go? And most importantly, can they ever forgive themselves for the choices made in the shadows of yesterday? A gripping tale of resilience, self-reclamation, and the delicate threads of human connection, Shadows of Yesterday explores how scars from the past can shape, but not define, who we become.

I thought I healed. I thought we were done me and the version of myself that only knew how to hate who she was. But somehow, after years of growing, surviving, and learning how to live without constantly fighting myself... I'm here again. Not in some dramatic collapse. Not all at once. Just quietly. In the mirrors I avoid. In the overthinking. In the exhausting ache of feeling like I'll never be enough no matter how hard I try. This is for anyone who thought healing meant never hurting the same way twice. For anyone who feels disappointed in themselves for falling back into old darkness. Maybe healing isn't linear. Maybe sometimes, the worst part isn't breaking again- It's realizing you still remember how.

These are memories, some are scary, some will make cry. Of course I've have good memories, but growing up in foster care with dead parents and too many adoptions can haunt a person for life. This is my road to recovery.
