MY INTRO TO YOU

Ever since I was a kid, I enjoyed all creative, mystical, and magical things.

For as long as I remember, I was the child who would sing, paint, draw, write, and daydream about tales and folklore. But growing up, I began to allow others to tell me what to do and how to behave. I started to place my sense of worth on how people saw and valued me, which over time inevitably shook my core sense of self, power, and security, opening the ground to my downfall.

In this journey, I went into a turmoil of confusion, trying to hold on to pieces of my identity as the years passed me by. All my relationships and connections had deepened this pain further, but I was completely blind to it until I lost my connection with my true self, and I was forced to face it.

Fast forward to when the world paused in 2020, and I had to reset myself with it. From this point on, I went through a healing process of my personal relationships, my professional losses, and any repressed emotions that I had unconsciously learned to shut down. Ironically, in a world where a sense of global connection got lost, I found time to listen to my voice and unmask my real identity. Through writing, I discovered a feeling of inner awakening and self-connection that I had never experienced before.

Soon, I felt that my process of healing and transformation could maybe shed light and inspire others through their own inner awakening experience. I decided then to share my journey as a process of unearthing my vulnerable side and my guarded pieces of emotions and self-expression. I also made it my mission to help others move past their feelings of powerlessness and regain their confidence when everything and everyone around them is trying to shut it down.

So, whether you are experiencing some form of personal crisis or professional loss, or maybe just an overall sense of rejection or abandonment, I hope you can find the necessary comfort, encouragement, and support from some of the poetic lessons I share here with you, my dear reader. I hope this book can work as some form of lantern shining the light in whatever stage you may be in your own spiritual path of growth and enlightenment.

I would also like to encourage you, my reader, to take a moment to recognize and release your shadows while celebrating your own
