okay, so… sickly sweet is finally complete and to say it has been an adventure would be an understatement.
writing my first (badly written) poetry book was something i didn’t know i needed in order to feel a sense of freedom, but i’m so glad i pushed myself and allowed it to hold a special place in my heart.
i’m 100% aware that most of the poems in sickly sweet, are not quite poems or well written, but in my darkest place, i used my writing as my therapy, so for that i’m eternally proud.
with the end of sickly sweet comes the end of my chapter in life. no milestone was completed or no goal was reached, i merely understood that i was in a healthier and better headspace than i was when i began to write sickly sweet.
i am however, glad to announce that with sickly sweet coming to a close, i will now be writing a NEW poetry book (with MUCH better writing this time i PROMISE) about my next chapter in life.
i’m nearing the end of my highschool experience, with only a few months left to go, and i’m closer to self love and understanding than i ever have been. i do however, have more matured and darker views than i did in my first poetry book, so i’m beyond prepared to spill it all out on the electronic devices that sit in front of you.
thank you to everybody who supported me through writing this book, i genuinely couldn’t have done it without you. thank you to the boy that met me and left me all at once. thank you to the two beautiful friends i made last year, who taught me to be myself and show the world my beauty in doing so. and thank you to the people i met online, the ones who gush about halsey with me and tell me i’m kind without even knowing the depths of what that means to me. i couldn’t have done this without any of you.
here’s to new beginnings and a big “f u” to 2020
