Summary

Loving Me To Pieces is a collection of very raw and personal poems that derive from my own life's experiences, thoughts, and creativity. In this book, there are a million little things that are worked out delicately through the written word. Things that have been left unsaid for far too long, and have just now made their way to the surface, with every piece of courage that was missing. It explores the depth of pieces that have been lost, lonely and broken, as well as pieces that were found. Pieces that have been unaccepted by others, and worse, myself. These are things that I have worked hard to define, and have learned through the process, that sometimes leaving them undefined, and learning to love them as they are, is enough. The words written in this book cover a range of topics from struggles with mental health, to self-discovery, acceptance of oneself, sheer bravery, love and relationships, and how to navigate through this world with nothing but a reminder to always believe in oneself. It is about love. Self-love specifically, as well as what others need to understand or accept about me, and what it has taken to learn to love myself, and all of my broken pieces. I hope this book helps and inspires others to worry less about who they are supposed to be, or who others would like them to be, and to decide for themselves, embracing and loving all of their little, imperfect pieces.
