    About this ebook

    This book is my dream. I have always wanted to publish a book, one that includes my thoughts, and experiences. This consists of four chapters, and each chapter focuses on a specific event. Themes such as spirituality and mental health are covered.


    Depression is a battle I've fought for years, and suicidal thoughts have been frequent occurrences.


    These poems are one of my greatest achievements, and I hope that they touch someone in whichever way. Life is a never-ending journey; ups and downs - but I hope you never stop going.

      Beware The Love-bomber

      Dec 1, 2022

      It’s hard to resist the thrill of being love-bombed. I’ve been warned countless times that it’s a potential red flag when someone is so immediately forthcoming with their affection, but I’m too much of a romantic to be so cynical. Or maybe I’m just t
