Dear Someone, a memoir in pieces.

It started as pages for my mother, so she could live my days with me from far away. Somewhere between the lines, it became a love letter: to her, to God, and now to you.

From the preface

I was never good at speaking my life out loud, but writing? That I could do. So, if she could not live these moments with me, then I would offer them to her through my words.

But with time, it became more than just a book for my mom. It became a part of myself that I was learning to cherish, no matter how ugly it was.

Letters

To a friend, to a country, to God, to whoever needs one.

Poems

For the feelings that refused to sit in full sentences.

Journal entries

Dated, unpolished and kept that way on purpose.
