finding joy

finding joy is an intimate collection of poetry born from a year spent navigating the shadows of depression. In this raw and honest debut, Isabelle invites readers into the quiet, unspoken corners of their mind-a space once hidden, now illuminated by the power of vulnerability and self-expression.What began as a return to poetry-an old childhood outlet long abandoned-evolved into a lifeline, a way to articulate the weight of emotions that couldn't be voiced aloud. With each poem, the author sheds layers of silence, confronting pain, memory, and healing with courage and clarity. Through moments of despair and flickers of hope, finding joy offers a deeply personal reflection on what it means to lose yourself, and then slowly, deliberately, begin to find your way back.For anyone who has ever felt the heaviness of unspoken grief or the quiet ache of loneliness, this book is a reminder that healing isn't linear-but it is possible.
