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.

"Within the courtroom of my head, I have long pronounced me guilty of not being good enough, the sentence I serve being self-doubt for life. Some days, I plead my innocence to my internal court, but the burden of proof has so far been too heavy." As someone living with chronic heart diseases, I like to believe I know a thing or two about a broken heart- quite literally. As I got older, I've had the *great* pleasure to learn that the physical heart is not the only one capable of being broken. I found myself turning to pen and paper in times of misery, and started writing down my thoughts on love, heartache, grief and all the other difficult emotions that are part of our human experience. This book is a collection of my poetry and short stories about these thoughts on different themes ranging from socio-critical pieces, to experiencing love as an openly queer woman, all the way to my thoughts on broken hearts -both in a physical and emotional sense.
