I never imagined I’d be saying this, but here I am—my poetry books, 'Together We Rhyme' and 'Stream of Thoughts', have actually been purchased. I can’t share the photo here, but I recently saw my earnings dashboard, and even if it’s just a small number, it means the world to me. It’s a quiet reminder that someone out there chose to read my words. After all the moments of doubt and second-guessing, this tiny spark has reignited something I thought I’d lost—hope.
To whoever took a chance on my poems, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve reminded me that my voice matters, that maybe I really 'am' a writer. If you’re curious, or if poetry speaks to you too, you can still find copies online at www.ukiyotophilippines.com.
love,
