Welcome To My World

Writing poems has always been my way of untangling the complex emotions that come with dating, especially the uncertainty of getting to know someone new. There’s something scary about the vulnerability it requires—letting down walls I’ve carefully built and opening my heart to possibilities, not knowing if I’ll be met with connection or disappointment. Each interaction feels like stepping into the unknown, a reminder that true intimacy starts with trust, not just in others, but in myself. As I navigate these feelings, I’ve learned that the most important relationship is the one I nurture within, making sure my own heart is steady before inviting someone else into it.
