A love letter to myself,

this is a collection of poems written from age 10 to 17, when a budding interest in poetry blossomed into a full passion for songwriting, poetry, and the written word.

Each poem captures a sentiment and moment in time, through the innocence of childhood and the chaos of adolescence, as I grew from a curious child into the person I would become, to find my place in the world around me. While the journey continues, captured here is the joy in looking back in order to look forward.

If you have ever felt the weight of the world around you, or ever doubted how wonderful you really are, this is a love letter to you, too.
