INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Whispers of Resilience: Poems of Strength and Courage. As you embark on this poetic journey with me, I would like to share the inspiration behind this collection and why I felt compelled to write it.

For me, poetry has always been my sanctuary, a place where I could pour out my thoughts, feelings, and emotions freely. It has allowed me to explore the depths of my soul, while allowing me to make sense of the world around me in order to be able to find that peace I've so desperately been looking for.

The poems in this book are a reflection of my own personal journey, which has been marked by triumphs and trials, joys and sorrows, and victories and vulnerabilities. Each poem within this book is a snapshot of a moment, realization, and feeling that has shaped me into the person I am today. As a person who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, and Anxiety among other mental illnesses, it has been a long road and way to get to this point in my life where I feel I can share this journey.

I chose to write this collection because I believe in the power of words to heal, inspire, and connect us with one another. In a world filled with uncertainty and challenges, poetry has the ability to offer comfort, hope, and perspective.

Whispers of Resilience is not just a collection of poems I wrote, it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we have the strength within us to rise, to overcome, and to thrive.

So as you dive into these pages, I invite you to open your heart, embrace the beauty of vulnerability and find the echoes of your own resilience within these words. May this collection serve as a source of inspiration, reflection, and empowerment to navigate your own journey through this thing called life.

Thank you for joining me
