Ceasing to Disown: The Vibrance in Not Letting Go

The most perfectly sounding and symmetrically aligned year - 2020 is perhaps the biggest antithesis of our times. Perhaps, of the century.Being born in the 1990’s, I would often wonder if I’d get a chance to be part of a global phenomenon, something that shall be recorded in the annals of mankind. Please read that again. I’d wonder. Not sure if I wanted the same.My book is the very persona of the similar antithesis that life is. It is a collection of poetries which serve as a reminder of what we have found solace in or maybe continue to hopelessly endure, not for a few moments or days, but for perhaps years and decades and what we choose to not let go regardless of the consequences. Maybe even feel vibrant about it!In this book, I have attempted to relay my emotions with respect to family, parents, romantic alliances, failure, redemptions, loneliness, anger, sex, the natural environment, diversity. And then some more. Essentially, it is a representation of the emotions that we all feel in a recurring fashion.I have learnt a lot through the process of writing these poems. The irony also is in the fact that there were some really important people who I wrote the poems for. They are no longer significant to my life.But these poetries are. This book is. Its success will be.I have learnt that empathy is the greatest virtue. I have learnt that hard work is the only skill. I have learnt that love has infinite manifestations. I have tried to personify them.I hope you find the courage to let go and if not, find vibrance in not letting go
