In the Midst

In the Midst is a collection born from the first months of my gap year, when life after university felt both endless and overwhelming. These poems carry the weight of the uneasy beauty of life suspended between endings and beginnings. Written in the months following graduation, these poems navigate the loss of academic life, the anxieties of an uncertain career path, and the haunting pull of imposter syndrome. This collection is for anyone who has ever felt lost in transition, misunderstood in their journey, or unsure of where they belong. I wrote these words to remind both myself and you that the in between is not emptinessits becoming.
