I Don't Know Yet (PB) (2019)

Always thinking nothing you say is good enough and soon enough you start to actually believe it. There's this constant fear of not saying the right thing at the right time. So you say nothing at all.

A lot of us have started to go through life like this-- quiet and bottled-up. And I mean bottled-up in the sense that you aren't expressing yourself in the way that you'd like to. There are too many things going on in the world to have an opinion that matters, right? Nobody wants to hear what you have to say, right?

So very wrong.

There is a world full of people out there who can't wait to hear you talk and, you know what, talk back. In a society so consumed with keeping up with each other on every level except the ground level, I Don't Know Yet is meant to create a bridge. Through poetry and stories about how I experience life, my intention is to bring people a little closer together-- maybe even get them to feel a little bit of something.

Nobody is going to know the way you feel unless you tell them. Chances are, they either feel the same way now or they've felt it before. Your opinions are more than just words floating around in your head, so you should treat them as such. Communicate. We are all dying to communicate with each other. It's just somewhere along the way while we were finding a million channels to do just that, we lost our voice.

We have to find our voice again. I Don't Know Yet is my contribution.
