Throughout my journey, I came across stigmas that played upon my self-confidence, which pushed me to publish a 3-book series as guidance for others by sharing my revelations. My first book, ‘Through the Books of Time’ is a recollection of this reflective journey. It is the catalyst that set off the cascade of my journey to becoming an author.
The second is an ideal self-motivational, mindfulness quote book called, ‘100 Days Dose of Motivation, Determination & Endless Positivity. Through this I aim to help instill happiness and hope into daily life. It comprises of a quote to start each day with a smile along with my unique twist on their meanings.
To sum it all up, ‘Poems for every shade of emotion’ dives into the feelings involved in the whirlwind of experiences I faced as a teen. A lot of this advice came from my volunteering with ‘Kissing It Better’, where I was exposed to different cultures & inter-generational outlooks.
Writing has been an outlet for me to truly understand these new feelings and a way for me to relieve myself when I was overwhelmed by the smoothie of teenage life.
My books are a documentation of the struggles and obstacles every teenager has faced, is facing and will face at least once. They may simply be a fun read for those who’ve gone through it, and can chuckle at the naivety of a teenager’s perspective on life. Or help a current teenager see the light at the end of this winding tunnel. It can also be a good warning for all the teenagers-to-be that it isn’t as good as it seems or as bad either, it’s just balancing somewhere in between!
