A life lived in the rain embraces the entire spectrum of love, from the peaks of joy to the valleys of despair. Some years blend both, while others tip the balance. These past two years have profoundly challenged me, compelling me to confront my past, embrace the present, and build a future rooted in newfound strength and inspiration. My journey is captured in the poetry within this book. For now, the future remains a dream in progress.
