<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A poetry and prose collection of weathering the storms and ups and down of life and mental illness. There is always the before, the in-between, and the aftermath. This is a collection of pieces based off of real life emotions, struggles, and efflorescence.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Myself and the Crying Sky is for readers who want to feel less alone during their struggles of heartbreak, depression, anxiety, and the ongoing aging of life. It is my personal way of sharing exactly how I felt during these times when I was truly struggling, and truly debating my own life and if I could make it through what I called my own personal hurricane. So many people tend to feel alone, because the stigma of mental illness and surviving heartbreak is real and is always present. <p/>The collection is separated into four sections: The Calm, The Gray, Anxiety Series, and The Clearing. Each chapter documents the ups and downs that life may serve you. <p/>The Calm is made up of pieces when you are just content in life. Not exactly sad, but not exactly happy either. It's the dormant foreshadowing of the storm that is forming. The Gray depicts the lows of mental illness, a broken heart, internal struggles, and everyday worries. The Anxiety Series is made up of poems that were written in the middle of anxiety-stricken episodes, when all I needed was to write to chronicle what I was feeling, and what I wanted to grow from. And lastly, The Clearing is the aftermath of the storm. Finally being able to leave your room and take a true breath of air. It's clearing up your mind and your fears in order to love and understand yourself. <p/>This is the growth of learning to love yourself despite the storm. Making yourself believe that you are strong, no matter how difficult life can get.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>One day, an eight-year-old Ana-Karina experienced her first school poetry unit, and she decided that it was fun. And at 12, when she was praised for a short story about a snowy day, she realized that she loved writing. In high school she continued through short stories and poems, and finally began to refine her writing style. A style that reflects talking to yourself, deep thoughts, and story-telling. <p/>Going by her nickname, Kara, she currently lives in Northern Virginia, scribbling small poems and ideas between a desk job and a bar. She loves to drown in books, create playlists, drink Americanos, play Monopoly, and spend time with her loved ones.
