What was the last book you stayed up too late reading?

[Ariel Poets @ArielPoets]

It takes a village to raise a poet.

Some people don’t survive their suicide attempts. I had 8 attempts in the span of 3 years. I don’t take that for granted. My heart is with all who have lost someone in this way. I was looking to find peace from my pain. Nearly a decade later, I have found inner peace in this lifetime. Suicide is not the answer. Building a life you don’t want to leave, asking for and accepting help has been the answer for me. Choose to stay, choose to build the life you won’t leave, choose to ask and accept help. You are not alone.

If this message isn’t for you, but impacts you- share it. You never know who follows you who needs this message 💜 sending enormous amounts of love. Wishing everyone a happy day ☺️ we all deserve it, especially you!

Writers come alive during the dead of night.

If you could be transported to the setting of the current book you’re reading, where would you be?

[Goodreads @goodreads]

Definitely have had this happen. 😂 Have you loved a book that you didn’t totally understand?

"I like to think of your silence as the love letters you will not write me,
as two sax solos from two ages across a stage, learning the
languages of kissing with your eyes
closed."
