For my Granny
who was the best at giving pep talks
(and those who miss hearing them).
Hi there—Glad you opened up this book. Now, these poems aren’t meant to be a guide or give instructions for your life, but hope, encouragement, and feeling less alone are what they might provide. And maybe they can be alongside as you tackle what’s next for you in this big game that we call life. Even though we don’t have the same day-to-day, I hope you find some familiar feelings reflected to you on these pages. I’ve written words about the major themes in my life so far—finding the courage to try something new, the relationship with yourself and others, mental health, growing up, and the future. These words might hold some truth for you and even make that little spark of hope grow a bit brighter as you write the pages for your story.
