"Little Laysia" is a collection of forty-two poems, dating as far back as 2009, of the inner most thoughts and feelings of a growing hopeless romantic teenaged girl in the midst of personal storms and chaos. Malaysia discusses heart breaks, internal and external dramas, rough life-changing events, good times, catfishing (before the term existed) and even the contemplation of suicide. At the end of it all, this is a representation of overcoming such obstacles, which truly were stepping stones; a testament and celebration of courage, faith, and strength through the storm. Everything happens for a reason, and she's eternally grateful to all seeming misfortunes and pure creativity that allowed for the birth of this work. Thank you, all.

Please know that you are never alone, and are stronger than you give yourself credit for and may believe. PLEASE seek the help best for you if you need it. We need you here, and I'm personally so happy that you are here. You are love, and you are loved.

Stay Magical, Always
