    About this ebook

    Poetry and brief reflections on life, love, and moments. People, events, and emotions mark moments that we will remember for years to come, even when we wish we could forget. But these moments shape us into the people we are now and the people we will eventually become. These are some of my moments.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      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
