I wrote „Watering my crown“

TO MAKE PEACE WITH MY PAST AND TO DECLARE MY COMMITMENT TO DAILY LOVING AND APPRECIATING MY SELF. IT’S A TESTAMENT TO MY DARKEST TIMES AND MY GREATEST VICTORY. IT’S A COMPILATION OF MY TRUTH. I DIVE THROUGH DEEPLY ROUTED LAYERS OF GENERATIONAL TRAUMA AND LIFT THE VEIL TO A LOT OF HIDDEN TRUTHS, THAT I WAS UNABLE TO SEE AT THE TIME BUT NOW ARE SO ESSENTIAL TO ME. „SELF-LOVE IS NOT SELFISH“.

WE ALL LOSE GROUND SOME TIMES AND SOME OF US NEED A LITTLE HELP TO PUT THINGS BACK IN PERSPECTIVE TO GET THROUGH THE STORM. SOCIETY TELLS US TO BREAK IN SILENCE AS IF WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BE ASHAMED OF OUR STRUGGLE AS IF THE OUTCRIES OF OUR HEARTS AREN’T MEANT TO BE HEARD. I’VE LIVED THROUGH MANY DARK NIGHTS BEFORE I COULD GET MY FINGERS TO PLACE THIS PEN TO PAPER AND WRITE IT ALL DOWN.

AND NOW, READING IT BACK, I SOUND SO CONFIDENT, I CAN SEE THAT I WAS JUST TRYING TO CREATE A MAP FOR MYSELF WHEN I WAS FEELING LOST. I BECAME THE VOICE AND THE EAR. IN THIS BOOK, YOU WILL FIND A LOT OF „LIFE LESSONS“ I ’M SURE YOU’VE HEARD SOMEWHERE BEFORE THE ART IS TO TAKE WHAT YOU KNOW AND APPLY IT TO YOUR REAL-LIFE AND I HOPE THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU WITH THAT.

„WATERING MY CROWN“ IS ABOUT FACING YOUR INNER AND EXTERNAL BATTLES HEADS ON, NOT BEING TIED DOWN TO SOMEBODY ELSE’S IDEA OF WHAT YOUR LIFE SHOULD LOOK LIKE AND HONORING YOUR OWN INNER VOICE.

I BREAK DOWN DIFFERENT ANGLES AND METHODS TO ESTABLISHING YOUR OWN HAPPINESS AND PEACE OF MIND. I KEPT TRYING TO REMEMBER MY OLD SELF BEFORE THE DARKNESS SWALLOWED ME, WANTING TO GET BACK TO HER AND EVENTUALLY GREW FRUSTRATED WHEN I REALIZE THAT GOING BACK IS NEVER POSSIBLE IN EVOLUTION. SO I BEGAN SEEKING NEW ROADS AND I FOUND MORE THAN I HAD LOST IN THE FIRE.

I DECIDED TO SELF PUBLISH BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT ANY EDITOR OR PUBLISHER TWEAKING MY STORY OR MY VISION OF ARTISTIC LAYOUT TO APPEAL TO „A BROADER AUDIENCE“. I WANTED TO STAY TRUE TO MYSELF, I WANTED IT TO BE AN AUTHENTIC, HOMEGROWN, DIY PROJECT, A GIFT FROM ME TO THE WORLD.

I WANT MY BOOK TO BE READ IN BOOKCLUBS AMONGST FRIENDS OR SHARED IN LIBRARIES. I WISH FOR MY STORY TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD AND CONNECT WITH AS MANY YOUNG WOMEN AS POSSIBLE. MAY THIS BOOK INSPIRE SOMEONE TO ALSO LOOK INTO THEMSELVES, PEELING BACK THE LAYERS THAT GREW HARD OVER THE YEARS AND FALL BACK IN LOVE WITH THE AMAZING WOMAN BENEATH THEM,

over and over again
