A journalist asked me a question last week, and it sparked the first of these letters. What was it that made me turn to poetry, and how has it impacted my mental health?
You have found your calling and in ways you never knew, you have touched all of us who went through the emotions, feelings and experiences you write about but can't quite express them like you do. Thank you for the words.
I'm probably incapable of expressing exactly how your words have impacted me...the wonder I've discovered, the magic I've unlocked within myself because I have been fortunate enough to have digested some of your work. Your words have inspired me to dig deep within myself, begin the overdue work of unpacking the pain I've held onto for far too long. Thank you. Even when it's devastating, thank you. I can not thank you enough💝
That means so much to me, and it's comments and messages like this one that make me feel like I'm doing something meaningful. You have all given me a gift, and it's something I will be eternally, endlessly grateful for. Thank you.
I think that it’s your ability to put on paper what we’ve all been through or going through but can’t always express that. When I read your words, they resonate, touch deeply and become very cathartic for me. Thank you for your words, they help heal 🌻
Somehow, you make me feel that I know you, and I feel very deep everything you write, you have a great power in words, congratulations
Thank you so much, that really means a lot

Thank you so much - that's such a lovely thing to say. I really do appreciate the support. Always.
I not only read your words, I feel them deeply 🤗 They enable me to make some sense out of my feelings and thoughts. I thank you for that 🙏🏻
Thank you! I'm so lucky to have readers like you, and I'm grateful the words can help you find some healing, however small.
