Written over the course of two relationships, one friendship, two houses and multiple conversations, these pages explore the anatomy of what makes us say goodbye to people and move on, the pain, the excitement and the relief that comes from closing a chapter. Through writing this, the author discovers more about her family, what it takes to love someone, and what it is like to know oneself.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDivided into three parts, the author moves through phases of her life reflecting on old friendships, stories her father told, and things she wishes she could go back and say to people from her past. It is a diary of her growth and realizations, as well as evidence of her mistakes and her shortcomings. This collection of poems challenges the way the author confronts the world, the people around her, and those who aren’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDahra Perez is a writer and storyboard artist born in Mexico.
