The poems in this collection were written from late 2010 through mid-2013. In that time, I became a freshman in college, an award-winning journalist, a college drop-out, homeless, and was almost always in love or heartbroken. I hope even a single poem in this collection will touch your heart or trigger a memory and inspire you to feel more in touch with yourself and keep going. I am sharing my emotional experiences so you know you're not alone.
