Where the Quiet Things Began

I never set out to write a book. I set out to breathe. Sitting with the weight of things I didn’t know how to say. In the middle of healing, I started writing letters—quiet fragments of what hurt, what healed, and what stayed. I never imagined those whispers would one day find their way into someone else’s hands.

On My Mind and in My Heart is a collection of the unsaid. It’s for anyone who has tried to make peace with pain, or carried love that no longer has a place to land. If you find a version of yourself in these pages, know it wasn’t by accident. I wrote this for you, too.

Thank you for being here.
