Publisher's Synopsis
'To whom my heart belongs' is a poetry book that I have filled with "love
letters" to my partner who has helped me rediscover my creativity after the
loss of a major loved one in my life. After the long 8.5 month fight with
lung cancer, my Grandmother had lost her fight and I was left shattered. I
had suffered the loss of the most reliable person in my life. I was at a such
a low point that I had just accepted that love and intimacy would forever
be missing from my heart. When I met my partner it was at a time in my
life when I had started acting out and considering behaviors of someone
that was not the best version of myself. The book itself is a series of poems
about my love for him, as well as a newfound love for the person I became
when we met. The purpose of this book was to thank him for helping me
find myself and continue to in the process of learning who I want to be. It
has poems that contain a cheeky lust and a vulnerable love that I've never
felt before. It is filled with poured out secrets of my heart that I didn't even
know existed before him.
What's written inside of this book is more than any fun fact you can learn
about me on the internet. In person, I am considered to be confident as well
as outspoken and assertive with the things that I wish to have. In my book
you will learn that at times I am filled with fearful thoughts on outcomes
about how I choose to conduct myself. I am someone who wisely chooses
their next set of words. You may meet me and consider me to be articulate
and beyond my years. The words you will find in this book may reflect the
opposite as I am learning every day how I wish to present myself. These
words consist of emotions like self-doubt and uncertainty. The lines you
will read will provide insight into the raw relatable yet somehow always
unobtainable truth.
