#thecostofblooming

You beautiful, chaotic strangers kept reblogging my messy 2am poems and telling me to write that book. You saw something in my words before I did. You held space for my breaking and believed in my becoming.

So here it is: "The Cost of Blooming: Poems of Breaking and Becoming" - a collection that moves through seasons of trauma, love, grief, and finally, the quiet rebuilding of becoming who I was always meant to be.

From sitting on sidelines to refusing to accept bullshit. From whispering to the void to roaring on behalf of my inner child. From breaking to becoming.

This is for everyone who's ever felt too much, loved too hard, or had to learn that sometimes we have to break open completely before we can bloom.

Thank you for believing in these words before they became a book. Thank you for seeing me before I could see myself.
