From youth to present, I've been writing poetry as a way to manage my emotions and internal world. As time passed and the collection grew, I decided to make a collection of my individual writing, and put it into one semi-cohesive book. To see the ways I've grown, what I considered mountains then, and even my own philosophies within each of my writings. My experiences with growing as I did, feeling as I did, coping as I do, wrapped up into a neat paper and digital bow. This is sharing an aspect of myself I would traditionally be afraid to show. To show that I, too, breathe. And to know in one fashion or another, that neither me nor you are alone on this rock we walk upon.
