A collection of poetry, writings, and photos.

This collection is carefully curated from my personal writings of the past several years, a tumultuous time-beginning with secretly receiving a terminal diagnosis at 38 years old-and culminating in a full-on spiritual awakening after the death of my father and several other loved ones in close succession.

These lines are the moments, the pain-feelings melting into words. They're everything from lulls of desperate, hopeless depression, to blazing glimmers of merciful hope. A road map through personal grief, heartache, and triumph-I hope there are some who are able to receive my message: that no matter what life throws at you, keep going. Stay in it. You are the only one who can save you, and the only thing you have is now.
