Sonja Lepola : Ups and Downs of Growing up

This is a collection of poems I wrote when I was much younger. They tell a tale of turbulent, troubled youth, but I felt they were still worth preserving and made them in to a book. I have grown since, but I still vividly remember some of those moments and I am happy to say that my life has gotten better since. I guess I wish this book can give hope to other young adults, struggling with their feelings like I did way back then. Life can be so terrible difficult sometimes.

Hi, I am 37 years old and hopefully only at the starting point of my journey as a writer. This is my second book, and unlike the first one, this is a very old collection being published purely on a whim, with minimum editing involved. I still do not know what else I will end up writing about, but I wish I will write a lot more than I already have. If you want to know my work better, I update regularly in Finnish on my blog about writing in https://heinytkirjoitetaan.wordpress.com and I also draw a cartoon on https://kattisjakumppanit.wordpress.com.
