Poems To My Younger Self is exactly that. I have transformed and lived through so many things that my younger self wouldn't have been able to fathom. I am proud, I am here, and I am ready to speak my truth. There are so many things I wish I could let little Shanika know about adulting. Like how we can feel guilty for having emotions. How we are made to feel like we shouldn't cry much like when we are children, so in that regard nothing has really changed. How your superheroes become your stories antagonists. How you think you have found the love of your life and then you find 3 more. How the dreams of being a wife at 26 is looking more like 30-ish. How you get bored easily and change your hair all the time to feel refreshed but not everyone gets it. How you have learned about the law of attraction and you've been on its good and bad side. How you are creative but cannot create due to responsibilities. And how an instagram post turned into you writing your first poetry book. I can't sum all of this up into this book yet, but what I can do is use this book as a way to heal my inner child. I can address my younger self and give her a heads up on what's to come.
