Tender in My Twenties is a poetry collection about becoming—mourning what never was, embracing what is, and trusting what’s to come. Split into three sections, these poems explore love lost, time passing, and the quiet beauty of growth. With ocean imagery, soft strength, and raw reflection, this book is for anyone navigating their early twenties with an open heart. Whether you’re healing, blooming, or somewhere in between, may these words remind you: there’s no wrong path—only the one that brings you back to yourself.

Written by the sea for the soul.
