    About this ebook

    Within this book she is wanting to reach out to others that have been through many trials in life. In one way or another she believes that there are many people who have suffered and survived the same darkness. That there are relatable emotions that have been experienced through life regardless of being young or old. What started off as just an outlet is now a goal to help others that feel alone. What better way to show the world who she is then by allowing for her diary to become public? However, for those who choose to read will her poetry be as influential as she believed.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Being an adult is… Crazy. What are you worried about currently? I’m worried the WGA [Writers Guild of America] will have to strike for longer than is sustainable for individuals. But they will win so I’m really not ‘worried’ at all. If someone could

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      Acknowledgment

      I want to Thank the friends I have, that have encouraged me to pursue in this journey to not only publish but to continue writing. One specifically Ivan Chino Silva for inspiring me to go after my dreams. Thank you, to my sisters Elisa, Marisela, and Mayia for reading poem after poem pointing out any editing or spelling errors and for all the encouragement and feedback. I want to Thank my parents Elisa and Oscar for being there along the way and supporting my journey. Most of all I want to Thank my husband, Tiger. Without you I would have never gained the courage to publish my book. Tiger Bertolini, I want you to know how grateful I am for all your love, help, guidance, support, and most importantly your patience throughout all those moments I wanted to give up and broke down crying. I also want my kids to know that no matter what, it is never too late to do what you love. My children have given me the blessing of being a stay-at-home mom, they have given me the dedication to push for what I love. Thank you, Xan, Christina, Eli, Tobias, Elianna for helping with the housework, watching out for each other, and helping me with baby Zarina so I could work on my book. I also want to say Thank you to my Tio Piro (Edwin Olivo) for helping my husband capture this beautiful image of downtown Chicago that became my inspiration for my cover image. Last but not least, I want to Thank all my readers for giving my book an opportunity. Thank you for the time you have given me to bring you into a world I hope will help you in ways writing has helped me.
