The book 'A Life Worth Living' is a book composed of a collection of poems put together by me. In a time where I had so many emotions bottled up, and I was tired of letting those emotions come up in a negative manner. I chose to turn that negative energy into a positive and productive one. Anger is one of the biggest emotions that would get the best of me. That’s how I came up with that quote 'Driven by anger influenced by pain hoping for love'. I let that quote evolve into this collection that truthfully has given me a lot of joy as well as hope for the future. I transformed this situation I was going through from a negative one to a positive one. I changed my perception of the events in my life to empower me. Not allowing stereotypes define me. So a life worth living is divided in 3 parts.Part 1: Esmeralda in the RoughThis section shares experiences, not just my own but also those I observed around me. It captures the voice within that kept me motivated and positive, especially during times of loneliness and limited human contact. It’s about resilience and finding strength in the midst of isolation.Part 2: Lethal WeaponIn this part, I delve into moments of frustration, anger, and the darker side of my thoughts. It reflects a period of internal conflict and defensiveness. Despite the heaviness, when I shared these poems, many women told me they resonated with them and encouraged me to publish them. As raw and dark as these experiences may seem, they are a reality for many, offering a sense of connection and understanding to those who might be feeling the same.Part 3: More Precious Than RubiesThis section reflects the core of who I am and the light that has always guided me. It’s about embracing the blessings in my life, choosing positivity, and striving for what is right despite the challenges. It’s a testament to the power of faith, resilience, and inner strength, acknowledging that while perfection is unattainable, the ongoing effort to align with a higher power and a brighter future is what truly matters.
