This book is a timeline of the past four to five years of my life. The poems tell of my lowest points, teenage-year heartbreaks, unrequited love, loss of loved ones, and how I learned to love myself. I have learned that writing is the way I am able to communicate with myself and connect with others. It has become a form of both escapism and realism. It has given me honey-colored glasses that allow me to appreciate the minuscule details of everyday life. I can only hope this book will become a friend to you, maybe even a guide.
