"Like so many queer people, my experiences are not public knowledge; similar stories are not available because ignorance is bliss and society is built on fear. And although it takes every ounce of strength I have to tell my story, I've learned that being vulnerable teaches tenfold what being safe ever could." Semicolon: A Collection of Thoughts and Other Snippets is about a five-year journey ridden with mental illness and identity crises. As the narrator grapples with loneliness and conformity, she uses different writing structures as outlets for her unresolved emotions that show an unapologetic journey of growth and acceptance. Through poems, letters, and miscellaneous compositions, this collection highlights the struggle of complex emotions coexisting inside one mind.
