A lot of poetry through all the different stages of grief. A shimmer of hope, and a lot of self loathing.

This poetry collection deals with the different stages and aspects of love, from Infatuation, to reluctance to loathing. "A Kind of Love" encapsulates the process of falling in love with all of the doubts and hindrances alongside it. Showcasing that love is not always pretty and romantic, these poems have something for everyone.

They say you only have three great loves in your life, but what if the modern world has rewritten that rule? What if now you have to go through six, seven, or even eight loves before finding "the one"? Is true love even real? These are the questions swirling in Zoey's mind. She's a young woman trying to navigate the vast and intimidating world of dating, searching for a meaningful connection, for love. It doesn't have to be the elusive "true love," but something simple, comforting, and genuine - the kind of love where you make breakfast together on Sunday mornings. Will she ever find it?

Navigating the big bad world is hard enough when you're young and working in hospitality - now imagine also having a complicated relationship with that one coworker, that's way too old for you. Yup. That's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. I sometimes wonder that too. This is a story of life and love and loss and all the things inbetween.

And sometimes each of us needs a little stardust and fireflies. What these are and mean to you, however, depends on each and every one of us. We do not have to discover the magic of life. Everybody carries it within himself in his very own way. In words, images, thoughts... But sometimes we forget this magic, the glow that we carry within us. Self-discovery is a never-ending journey and this is exactly what this book is about, stories of my naked thoughts.

come with me and let me hold your hands while we sit in our combined sorrow about what it truly is to be a girl, a woman, in your twenties, in love, in search of a purpose, a child of immigrant parents and a complicated person with big feelings. even though it is a difficult task to capture these feelings that accompany a lot of our experiences in words, and even though i know words will never be enough, i promise you i have tried my best. is it better to be cursed with yearning for a place far away or to not have a home at all and spend your life searching for it? what makes us persevere, despite the suffering and pain in this world? what is it that makes female friendships so special? what does love really mean and how does it manifest? what is so beautiful about being alive? if you are someone that feels angry or misunderstood by most, give me a chance to make you feel at least a little bit seen and a little bit less alone.
