    About this ebook

    “Letter to my future self

    Do you remember you once read that every person in this world is one word of a poem, and everyone that leaves too soon - they render the poem incomplete. You gave it an eye roll, knowing the poem was already incomplete.

    But have you not figured it out yet? You are the one that needs to write that poem. You are supposed to save every word you can and include it twice for everyone who left.”

    This book holds your hand through the turbulences of depression, making you gasp for breath at times; nevertheless, landing you safe on the other side.

    “I told you I dream of the ocean
    so you decided I needed to know what drowning felt like
    /you are efficient”

    Take my hand, for you are not alone. I know depression will haunt you still, try to drown you still, but take my words along.. Let them hold you, and allow yourself to just be.

      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.
