Picking Thorns

Picking Thorns is a powerful collection of poetry and prose that explores themes of mental illness, love, heartbreak, and the art of letting go. Divided into three sections—Eradication, Incandescence, and Rebirth—this collection captures the complexities of healing and self-discovery. Eradication delves into heartbreak, trauma, and the shadowed depths of mental illness. Incandescence ignites themes of love, passion, and embracing sensual energy. Rebirth celebrates renewal, self-love, and stepping fully into your own light.

Written over four years, these pieces highlight both the struggles and triumphs of navigating life as a neurodivergent woman, embracing the duality of darkness and light.
