Trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, insomnia, love, heartbreak, family relations, friendship, sexual abuse, substance abuse, colorism, body image, religion, car accidents, happiness, hope, healing, forgiveness, and mental growth; this book ties them all into one. Join Christina on her life's journey dealing with these hardships as she is both a full-time student and an employee working multiple jobs. These poems are a collection of letters to the people and things who have impacted her life in both positive and negative ways, letters she never got the chance to send.
