Picking Thorns

Picking Thorns is a powerful collection of poetry and prose that explores themes of mental illness, love, heartbreak, and the art of letting go. Divided into three sections-Eradication, Incandescence, and Rebirth-this collection captures the complexities of healing and self-discovery. Eradication delves into heartbreak, trauma, and the shadowed depths of mental illness. Incandescence ignites themes of love, passion, and embracing sensual energy. Rebirth celebrates renewal, self-love, and stepping fully into your own light.

Written over four years, these pieces highlight both the struggles and triumphs of navigating life as a neurodivergent woman, embracing the duality of darkness and light.
