Overview

these are field notes
from the gentle explorations
of a wandering mind
into the contradictions of being
these are observations
of growth amidst confusion
these are cries of belonging
to an entity ever-changing
identities in questioning
seeking out and looking in
to find the worlds within
and step back into this skin

– what is it to be a self?

This is a collection of 20 poetry and prose pieces written in August 2023, exploring themes of belonging, brokenness, redemption, (self-)love, and capturing beauty in the little moments of life.
