• The Ramblings of a Dreamer is a journey to make sense of complex topics through a personal lens.
• It is a collection of first-person poems illuminating the voice of a hopeful young individual in a world often bound by realism and fear: I was fifteen years old, and I was learning all over again what it meant to love and hurt, to dream and fear.
• I was philosophizing about the spaces between reality and about the girl in class sitting next to me, all gathered in notebook margin scribblings.
• The world was too vast and too rigid, and people barely listened without laughing about young love, innocence, and dreamers.
• It is a discovery that love can be transformational, and it can be confining.
• Pain can be loud, and it can be quiet.
• Healing sometimes can come from confronting your demons, and other times from running away.
• Moving on can mean coming to terms with the fact that you're not okay and trusting yourself to keep fighting regardless.
• This book confronts the light and the shadowed aspects of being a dreamer.
• It's the romanticism and idealism, as well as the escapism and isolation.
