A note from the author,

Remember, stay soft.

I wrote this book for the people in this world who feel deeply. For those who stay messy-hearted in a world that may not always be kind to them. I wrote this book for the human beings who are doing whatever they have to do to make it to tomorrow — the people who get up in the morning when they do not want to, the people who face what is scarred within them, the people who are working every single day to be gentle and soft with themselves when they have been given every reason to harden. I wrote this book for the people who believe in something hopeful; the people who feel everything intensely and allow themselves to feel that way. I wrote this book for the human beings who shout their love from rooftops, who share their hearts with the world. I wrote this book for anyone who is fighting — fighting to be better, fighting to heal even when it hurts, fighting to believe with everything they have within themselves that they have a purpose here, that they belong here, and that they deserve to take up space. I know how much courage it takes to be that kind of person, how much courage it takes to heal and to let go. This is my testament to these rare and beautiful souls, this is my way of saying — “You are not alone.”
