Dear reader, I hope this book resonates like a soft place to rest.I wrote these words for the; ones who feel everything too deeply;for those who have been hurt to an "undesirable extent" butare still standing, and have finally decided to love themselves more. You're right.. I wrote this book for you. It is for the moments when you realized that walking away wasn't a failure, but a necessary act of protection. This book was meant to find you if you've ever loved someone who didn't love you back, if you've ever over-invested in the wrong people, or if you find it hard to let go. I hope these pages find you in the quiet hours of the night-the hours we used to fear, but now realize are the most soothing to the soul. I wrote this for those who have spent too long staring at the ceiling, wondering where the promises went, and for anyone finally learning that their own energy is a sacred thing. This book is for the hearts that love deeply. May these poems be the proof you need that you are just as graceful in your darkness as you are in your light. You are worth the time you've been saving for yourself.."The Feeling of getting stabbed thrice with a shape-edged knife from the person you love deeply is the core of the book; to let go; to heal." From my soul to yours, Afifa.
