🕊️ The Shape of Healing Begins with Honesty
Hey friends,
There’s something I almost didn’t write.
Not because it wasn’t real—
but because it was too real.
Too soft. Too sharp. Too close to the bone.
I almost didn’t tell you that healing feels more like unraveling than arriving.
That recovery isn’t a ladder—it’s a loop.
That some days, the bravest thing I do is not binge, not bolt, not bury my voice in silence.
But I’m telling you now.
Because silence doesn’t heal.
Truth does.
🖋️ In The Shape of Healing, my upcoming poetry collection, I’ve written the things I once swore I’d never say out loud—
about shame, about God, about learning to stay.
If you’ve ever felt too far gone or too late to begin again… I want you to know:
You’re not alone.
And you don’t have to heal quietly.
✨ The official release date is June 15, 2025. You can pre-order the ebook on Amazon Kindle.
➡️ Want to preview a few lines from the book? I’m sharing early favorites on Instagram and TikTok.
Today, I just wanted to whisper the thing I almost didn’t say:
I’m still here.
And I’m still becoming.
