Hi! My name is Sam . My entire goal is just to be able to help people mentally and physically feel their best and realize their own potential. I myself have struggled very much with mental health. I lost my sister in middle school and felt myself go into a dark path after. Freshmen year in high school I was tested and diagnosed with Anxiety, OCD, and depression. After those diagnoses I had a long path ahead of me to finding myself and learning new coping techniques. In the height of my depression sophomore-junior year I turned too writing. I've always had a strong desire to write and a substantial love for it. I began writing 4-5 poems a night and I found it was a great way to channel how I was feeling. As I got better I reread these poems and saw they told a story. They showed a journey (non-linear) of what healing looks like. After reading it I felt compelled to share my journey, because I knew so many others have undergone similar feelings. I went through a lengthy process of getting my book approved, but after some hard work, in 2022 I published my poetry book! I published it not only for the people struggling, but also for little me. I used to scour local bookstores trying to find a book that fully encapsulated how lonely and isolated I felt, but none felt fully transparent. This book is very transparent and uncensored on the struggle. Sometimes validation is all we are looking for in moment of struggle, and thats what I want to provide. We are never alone.
