I've Been Meaning to Write

""I've Been Meaning To Write is the physical home for the poetry I've written between ages 15 & 20. Although I've been writing for a lot longer than this, my poetry has refined and changed course as I've gotten older. This book is therefore an ode to this stage of my life. To me, I've Been Meaning to Write is a testament to the fact that the intense emotions we feel every day are meant to be felt. Joy, anger, sorrow, love are all unimaginably beautiful when seen through a retrospective lens, and as humans, it's what showcases our individuality. No one person has moved through life the same way another has. I opine that the pattern of emotions we feel and are most inclined to feel is what forms us. It gives us uniqueness in a world where disassembling and removing uniqueness is the norm. Although I've been at odds with my own emotions countless times, I've grown to realize their importance. Through my poetry, you'll definitely see me at my lowest, but also when I felt undefeatable. Going through this journey with me will be a rollercoaster, but I wouldn't have it any other way. So, while you're reading this book, try to remember - Feelings make life worth living: )""
