Author's Note

When I first starting writing this booklet at the age of 19, I was coming to terms with my depression, anger I felt, the abuse I endured, and myself as an entirety. I wanted to somehow use this energy to write meaningful pieces that anyone could relate too.

Even if they couldn't relate to the situation or the story I was trying to tell, as long as my feelings were being portrayed through my words. Nothing feels better than knowing you wrote something that has touched many people.

I learned a lot about myself in 2017-2019. I have grown a lot throughout these few years. No matter what, I've always tried to write what I was feeling.

The majority of these poems were based off of the feeling of anxiety, despair, anger, sadness and coming to terms with my demons. I fell in love a few times and got my heart broken a few times. I moved out and struggled, hustled. I accepted and understand my abuse. I've lost some friends, ended situationships, felt entirely alone. But in the end, I did not regret a single thing that has happened.

Throughout these 3 past years I've been racking my brain around trying to write an Author's Note. Share a bit about myself, my inspirations, my goals, etc. but in a way I feel as if my poems have said a lot about myself. However, I would like to add my name is Emerald; Emmy for short or Em. Aries, Foodie, Weeaboo, Photographer, and Gamer!

I also want to take the time to thank those of you who I call my family and close friends who have supported me, as well as encouraged me along this journey. Please always remember somebody cherishes you deeply and no matter what I'll always be in your corner!

Thank you for all the love and support.

With much love,
Em.
