    About this ebook

    WHY DO I WRITE?

    I write because I am worried and I have all these voices that are speaking at the same time and I just need to listen to them one at a time or simply have a moment of silence before I can even listen to them. I write because it gives me peace of mind, it is like parking a car on the side of a highway because I can’t handle it that time, so I keep walking but it moves with me until I am ready to get back in again. It’s like a jail for all the things that are happening but I am not ready to do, so I keep them there until I can be able to deal with them. I sometimes put them there too long and by the time I am ready, I find that they have grown too strong. They have made the prison their home and I become imprisoned to the thoughts I didn’t say, opportunities not taken, but when everything goes well, they free me. With this book I would like to share with you all my prisoners that I have charged through out my years at wits. The pieces in this book are inspired by the people I have encountered in my life and the experiences I have been through and I hope that in as much as it is how I felt, it resonates with you as you go through it.

      I walked in the door, took off my coat, took off my sunglasses, set them down with my keys, took off my shoes and socks, my jeans, my shirt, my bra and underwear, set them all on the chair by the door, walked into the house naked, went to the fridge,

      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.

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
