Fragmented Echoes made me a poet, not that I wasn't writing poetry before. And not because it was the first thing I wrote, but because it was the first thing that truly asked me to be me. To commit to my voice, my truth, my way of existing in language. To let my inner echoes, my fragile parts speak and trust that they would reach the right hearts.
With this collection releasing on March 30, 2025, I find myself honestly more nervous than excited. There’s a strange kind of feeling involved in letting go of something that has lived inside you for so long. Don't get me wrong, there’s also a quiet joy in knowing it will find its place in the world, in someone else’s hands, on someone else’s shelf. But it is also downright scary. "Doubts creep in, a nagging voice asking questions like "What if it isn't good enough?" or "What if people hate it? Hate me?". But here we are, pushing forward even through the doubts.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more glimpses into the collection, behind-the-scenes thoughts, inspirations, and maybe even a few pieces that shaped this book. If you’ve been following this journey, thank you. For reading, for listening, for allowing these words to become something more than just the fragments of me.
And as always, pre order information for Fragmented Echoes can be found at my News page. Stay tuned for updates.
