Haiku (Working Title)

“...my body screamed at me. Despite being exhausted, battered from decades of neglect and fighting a rare illness, my body made me take a deep dive into pain, life, meanings, love, friendships, truths, self-worth, traumas, values, family, darkness and inevitably my younger self.

These haikus became a way out, a saving grace and my own self prescribed therapy.”

“I finally saw that my challenges, ...my demons and my therapy no longer belonged in the dark, shrouded in secrecy and shame. They should live in honesty and acceptance, not quite proudly but at least unashamedly in hopes that they will strike a cord, connect with or speak to one person and maybe a few more. And so it was time to unbox.”
