ready

This book had been in the works for years, long before there was a title, a structure, or a release date. It lived in journal entries, notes in my phone, half-written letters, and quiet reminders I had to give myself during seasons when life felt heavy and uncertain. What I Hope You Know wasn’t written all at once. It was built slowly, piece by piece, through lived experience. For a while, I had already been sharing small pieces from the book across social media. Not as promotion, but as honesty. Everything I share is something I needed first, everything I share is from a lived experience, everything I share existed long before they were ever posted. Recently though something shifted, the same pieces I had been sharing began to land differently. The engagement grew, the messages increased and one question kept showing up again and again…"what book is this from?”. At first, I hesitated I still had a timeline in mind, a right moment I thought I was supposed to wait for, I also feared releasing books back-to-back. However, the momentum wasn’t coming from strategy, it was coming from resonance. People weren’t asking because something was trending, they were asking because something connected. That’s when I realized the book was already doing what it was written to do, even before it was officially released.

So, releasing didn’t feel like rushing; it felt like listening. Listening to the work, listening to the moment, listening to the people who were already being met by the words. I didn’t release this book because everything was polished or perfectly aligned. I released it because it was already finding its way to the people who needed it and because I believe writing should be available when it’s being asked for. If you found your way here because of a post, a line, or a quiet moment that felt like it was written for you, I want you to know something important: these words weren’t written to perform, they were written to survive, to process, to heal, to remind myself and maybe you that we don’t need to have it all figured out to keep going. I hope that wherever you are right now, these words meet you gently.
