At 26 years old, penning down his first book was something of necessity. Words were pouring out and being placed online for hundreds of thousands to read, and while seeing the highs and lows expressed in pixels was a step toward closure, holding those moments on paper gently in the palms of his hands was what he truly needed to move on from his past. Heartbreaks, let-downs, memories had but unwanted, thoughts about the world and fellow humans around him, it all coalesced into a carefully crafted book of poetry, Sad Birds Still Sing.
