After years of gathering the courage to share my words, I Need a Smaller Bag is almost here.This poetry collection explores what we carry—memories, people, pain, and versions of ourselves we have outgrown. Moving through love, grief, identity, memory, and healing, it asks what deserves to remain close and what we are finally ready to release.For anyone who has ever mistaken carrying everything for strength, I hope these words find you well.I Need a Smaller Bag

Be strong,
not impenetrable.
You don’t have to let
everyone in.
But don’t block
everyone out.
