Released and Released

On August 8th, I let go of two things at once.

I released Broken Glass into the world. And I released the version of myself that believed this story didn’t deserve to exist.

For years, imposter syndrome kept me circling the same questions: Who am I to write this? What if it’s not good enough? What if no one cares? I edited, second-guessed, and tucked the manuscript away more times than I want to admit.

But a strange thing happens when you carry a story for too long—it starts carrying you. Even when I tried to shelve it, Broken Glass kept tugging at me. Whispering. Reminding me that silence can be just as heavy as speaking, and that pretending the book wasn’t ready didn’t make me any less of a writer.

So here we are. The book is out now. It’s no longer just mine—it belongs to readers who will interpret it, wrestle with it, maybe even see themselves in it. That’s both terrifying and freeing.

And I feel lighter, too. Because by letting it go, I’ve proven something to myself: the story was always worth telling.

If you’ve already picked up a copy, thank you. You’ve been part of releasing not just a book, but the fear that almost buried it.

If you haven’t yet, I’d love for you to meet Broken Glass. It’s not a neat story. But it’s honest. And it’s finally free.
