Hello everyone, as much as how Im still learning to make myself better, I am fully aware that I'm still a beginner. Last two years, i was right here in 7 cups of tea, in search for help when things get soo hopeless for me. I also met my boyfriend that i've been with for 2 years from here :) and today,

I decided to self-publish my mini poetry book; all written by myself on all the days starting from where I developed depression; sharing the thoughts, to have myself some pocket money, and also for the love of poetry. I was born in a financially unstable family, struggled with tuition fees etc.

Losing hope in life is not a good feeling of course, but I do believe that anyone suffered (or still am suffering) in any form of mental illnesses, regardless of our differences; were all worthy of love and no matter how broken we are, we still deserve to have hopes and successful dreams.

It was one of my full of "what ifs" choice, and its going well for now. Its not much, i got only 13 of it sold for now but is such a big thing for a small person like me. If anyone would ever be interested in it, i would love to have you read it :)

Thank you for reading this and my blog is {Social media: edited by Charli} if you'd like to ask details or simply to talk ❤️️

also, i'll be tagging a community leader below as outside links from 7cups are sadly not allowed; hope you understand!!

[ @halliwellsister, could you take a look at this and edit the last section, please? i'm aware that contact outside 7cups is not allowed and was wondering if you could take that off :) ]

Hey there lovely <3

Congratulations on your book! I'm sorry but I had to edit your last paragraph because we aren't able to share social media on here for many reasons (mostly for safety <3). If you'd like to PM me about this you're welcome to. <3

hey there congrats!!! Is such an amazing thing :o

If you don't mind me asking how did you publish it? I also wrote poetry since I was 9 and this is also my dream. Do you have any advice?
