"Love you give not to receive"

"My heart is now praying, To continue living..."

Raw and unbridled, the poems and photographs you would find in this collection captures the life-changing journey and adventure of self-discovery of love and lost faced by a young Muslim woman having lived in the West for college and work experience. Afiqah's work touches on love, home, family, faith, loss, identity, mental health, and society. Told in a refreshing view of an individual who is neither an émigré nor a refugee, these poems capture the beauty of differences that points to a bigger common ground of human feelings. Inspired by poets from the East and West, her relationships, and surroundings, these poems reflect the soul of a maturing young lady navigating her way through the precarious globalized world to inspire others.
