A Thousand Little Lifetimes

What happens to the dreams we once promised ourselves we would live? Somewhere between childhood and adulthood,we learn to postpone the things that make us feel alive. We choose responsibility over wonder, reason over impulse, and “someday” over today. This collection explores the dreams we bury, the love we hold, the memories we carry, and the quiet awareness that life is far more fragile than we imagine. These poems invite you to pause and ask: What did you dream of before life taught you to be practical? What have you been saving for later? perhaps it is time to live before later arrives.
