A personal journal of poetry, spoken word and honest talks by Rachel Veronica
Come in.
Stay awhile.
For all the things I’m learning about love, growing up, and being human. Some of it comes out as poetry. Some of it sounds better out loud. All of it has a place here.

Three rooms. Pick one.
Everything here is connected.
Each thread is a feeling that runs through more than one page.

Dear reader,
This is a journal for the tender, unfinished parts of life. The beautiful parts. The uncertain parts. The love I keep learning, and the little moments I want to remember. If one of these pages finds you at the right time, I would love to hear about it.
with love, Rachel
