For a long time, I lived in shadows. Depression was my constant companion, convincing me I wasn’t enough.
Like my voice didn’t matter. Like my pain was mine alone to carry.
Until one day, I started writing.
Not for anyone else — but just for me.
Poems. Stories. Confessions to myself.
And then something unexpected happened...
I realised I wasn’t alone.
My words became bridges to others walking the same path.
That’s when I understood — my healing wasn’t just for me.
It was a gift I could share. That’s why I am writing “Songs Under The Sun.”
Because we all deserve more than just to survive. We deserve to thrive.
I am working on a new book of poetry, tentatively entitled Songs Under The Sun, which is a follow-up book after Conversations (I Never Had) With Luna and Other Stories. My hope is that by reading this book, your spirits are lifted and your soul feels lighter. Just like when we are under the sunlight.
Conversations (I Never Had) With Luna and Other Stories was written to mainly to honour secret conversations I had with the moon whilst I was going through depression. And so, I thought about writing a sequel to my first book, but make it an ode to the Sun this time around. The poems (or songs) in this collection would be in a more positive and brighter tone and rhythm. And it would feature my healing journey.
I intend to finish the whole project by May of next year.
This Kickstarter runs for 60 days only and ALL funds raised go towards the production of the first print run and more.
Being able to promote healthy conversations is dear to me. When I was depressed, I shared my thoughts, emotions, and experiences in my first book. With this new book, I want to be able to share my healing journey. We all just need to feel valid, valued, and loved. Hopefully, the songs or poetry in this book resonate with those reading them, and bring healing and peace and love, and start healthy conversations. So we can sing the songs that’s in our hearts and look forward to brighter days under the sun!
