The Golden Collection

This poem book is for the high school graduates. The ones who are closing the first major chapter in their lives: their childhood. It's for the people who are still desperately clinging to nostalgia and wishing they could turn back the clock to simpler times full of sunshine and bubbles and popsicles and summer vacations.

These poems were born from stress about time. About there not being enough time, as well as spending too much of it worrying about how to live in the moment.

The Golden Collection is full of reminders to cherish the time you have, because the present is going to become a memory soon enough. And we all hope to have a plethora of beautiful memories to reminisce about in the future.
