Quiet and deeply aspirational, this second book of poetry by author r.c. perez is an invitation to come face to face with our regrets, make amends with our past, and "lick our lips" for every bit of days still left ahead. It is about the humbling process of slowly accepting what life has dealt us and making the most out of it-that while we mourn for our past, we look forward to the amazing possibility of who we still can be. It is not about What Never Was, but What Can Be. It is not an apology, but a promise. The four interconnected chapters will take you on a journey through familiar feelings of worthlessness and stagnation and the rediscovery of oneself to find the motivation to live, to love, and to dream again. Ultimately, this collection is an ode to the indomitable human spirit, a tribute to our undying dreams, and a celebration of the resilience we all possess to still make things happen. If you ever once dreamed, if you ever once failed, this book is for you.
