Letters to Self by Bisma Muskan

A diary of poems as letters to one’s self

I feel like a lot of young adults struggle with themselves. Especially with confused thoughts and trying to find out solutions. Sometimes alone, sometimes misunderstood, sometimes with past regrets and at times just trying to find yourself with the shards of what’s left in themselves. Letters to Self are letters written as poems, relating to the struggles from within to confusions one faces and delving into their solutions or mere advices in some pieces.

Author: Whenever she found a piece relatable to her, when she found a quote that she could relate to when even her friends in name couldn’t or when people around her misunderstood her, she thought maybe just maybe, somewhere in the world, someone went through the same things she went, or maybe through even worse. But relating things somehow do give a sense of belonging, being understood gives a little hope, so she wrote a book, Letters to Self. Hoping, someone, whoever read her words, maybe could feel not so lonely anymore, like she did, even when she was surrounded by people, even when she was smiling only to mask her sadness. After all, it’s not just a book, it’s a diary of hers.
