"dear diary... ... this time, I'm not saving anyone but myself ..." ---------------------------------------------------- Not Your Savior is a collection of poetry and letters woven from the raw emotions of a girl swimming between hurting and healing, love and heartbreak, hopelessness and resentment. It is not a story of sudden empowerment or perfect recovery - it is an honest walk through the moments that made me fragile, the moments that made me lose hope while still trying to stay strong, and the delicate parts of myself I am still learning to hold gently. This book is for all the souls who are broken yet uniquely beautiful; for the ones who loved too deeply, stayed too long, blamed themselves too often, and still chose to heal others before themselves. It's a journey of my imperfect healing, but never truly giving up on myself.

"For the Days You Feel Like You Didn't Do Enough" This book is a gentle reminder for the days when life feels heavy, progress feels slow, and you quietly wonder if you're doing enough. Written in a soft first-person voice, it feels like a conversation with someone who truly understands the emotions you don't always say out loud - the overthinking, the self-doubt, the exhaustion, and the pressure of simply trying to keep going. Through moments of feeling behind, failing, burning out, losing yourself, and slowly healing again, this book holds space for every version of you - especially the ones you've been too hard on. It doesn't rush you to "fix" your life. Instead, it reminds you: You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to be imperfect. You are allowed to start again softly. And you were never as "not enough" as you thought. Each chapter is a pause... a breath... a quiet return to yourself. A place where you don't have to prove anything to deserve kindness. Just read slowly. Feel gently. And remember - you were enough all along. 🤍
