Diaries of the Unspoken Words is a book written based on true events that have occurred throughout my life. I wrote a series of diaries, sixteen to be exact, in which I felt were major high points and eye-opening moments, each on different levels of events--from choices that were made, consequences which had been received, emotions that were felt, and how certain scenarios were played out in different atmospheres. My hopes when writing these diaries were and still are to reach out to others who may have or are experiencing similar situations. In my diaries, not only do I give the information of the experiences, but I give hope, ways to better cope with situations, and I state my lessons I had learned throughout each diary. Diaries of the Unspoken Words is very real, heartfelt, and relatable on many levels with most of our society. The point of the title is that I want others to know that they are not alone in life, and there are many of us who go through life quietly and keep the pain hidden deep within. With that being said, I hope to bring light to anyone''s darkness by sharing mine in Diaries of the Unspoken Words and to bring awareness that there is freedom from within. We just have to try and let go of what was and let be what is to be!
