how to become unrecognizable by summer. p. 28 of MAKE BELIEVE. in case it’s not clear, this is a warning, not a manual. I wrote this poem about how food obsession can consume your entire brain and rob you of joy, connection and presence. MAKE BELIEVE has a whole section of poems on body image: section 2, a world where your body feels like home. go eat something okay? and if a whole book of poems on hoping again sounds up your alley, you know where to find it.
hey btw you didn’t choose the wrong life bc the life you chose is hard my debut poetry collection MAKE BELIEVE is out in 12 days on march 18 and I’m terrified. it’s hard to put yourself out there. it was hard to walk away from my career as an attorney. it’s hard losing the clarity of a 5 year plan. but I wouldn’t change a thing. if you’re trying to figure out which life to pick, I wrote MAKE BELIEVE for you. time is almost up to get all the free things that come with preordering: a print and yoga class and meditation and mini-journal. if you want them, preorder today so you don’t forget. you know where to find that. your life will be hard no matter what. leaving is hard and staying is hard. choosing freedom is hard and choosing stability is hard. failing is hard and not trying is hard. and there isn’t a right answer. there’s no such life as the life you should have picked. there’s just the hard that’s worth it to you.
MAKE BELIEVE is here :’) I can’t believe it. for the past year and a half MAKE BELIEVE has been mine, and now it’s yours. available mostly wherever you get books. if you see it out and about or get a copy, tell me!!! I’ll be sharing some of previously shared favorite poems that made it into the book on here this week, but most of them will never be shared on here. here’s to making believe!!!!!
