There are certain kinds of pain that never fully leave. They simply learn how to live quietly inside of you.
Payments of Living is a collection of poetry and prose written in the spaces between grief and acceptance, memory and forgetting, survival and surrender. These pieces confront the hidden emotional costs of being alive: loneliness, fear, longing, anxiety, loss, and the quiet exhaustion of continuing forward when the world keeps moving without you.
Written with raw vulnerability and philosophical weight, the book reads like a long night drive through memory itself, passing old versions of the self, abandoned futures, and fleeting moments of hope somewhere in the distance.
This is not poetry searching for easy answers. It is a record of endurance. A ledger of emotional survival written by someone trying to understand what it means to keep living in spite of everything.
Haunting, intimate, and deeply reflective, Payments of Living is for readers who have ever felt alone inside their own thoughts.
