Things I've Learned From Losing

What happens when the people, places, and versions of yourself you thought would stay… don’t? Things I’ve Learned from Losing is a collection of poems about growing up, hurting, loving, losing, and finding your way back to yourself. Divided into three parts—mental health, family, and relationships—these poems explore feelings we don't always know how to say: nights spent pretending you're okay, the weight of family, the ache of losing someone you thought would stay, and the quiet process of learning to choose yourself. These aren't poems about having everything figured out. They're about being in the middle of it. Sometimes the things that hurt most leave you with the most important lessons.
