negative keepsakes

‘negative keepsakes’ is a collection of poetry and prose about the difficult space between holding on and letting go. It explores what it means to release someone you once loved deeply, and the way memories continue to linger long after they are gone. These pieces capture the confusion, the silence, and the weight of absence that never fully leaves. This book is not about healing or moving forward—it is about the in-between, where the past still feels alive, and where letting go is not an end, but an endless process of remembering and learning to live with what remains.
