Some days you grow. Some days you break. Some days you simply keep walking.

LIFE is a collection of poems about growing up and the quiet things that come with it: summers that end too soon, parents who age while we are not looking, friends who drift, love that goes unspoken, and nights when everything feels too heavy to carry.

Written in plain, honest words, these poems move through nine parts, from Roots to What Remains, and arrive, slowly, at something like light.

If you have ever felt lost in your twenties, missed a place you cannot go back to, or smiled while carrying something unsaid, you will find a piece of yourself in these pages.

You are not alone in it. Keep walking.
