Because I Felt Everything

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What does it mean to feel everything and survive it? What does it look like to hold grief in one hand and joy in the other, without dropping either? Because I Felt Everything is an unflinching journey through the vast landscape of human emotion. In fifty powerful, deeply personal poems, Makitia Thompson invites readers into a world where heartbreak, healing, desire, silence, rage, softness, and hope exist side by side. Never asking for permission, never pretending to be neat. Told in four parts: The Ache of Becoming, The Weight of Love, The Quiet Resistance, and The Fire That Heals. This collection explores what it means to carry the past while learning how to live inside the present. Thompson doesn't shy away from the hard truths: abandonment, emotional survival, generational wounds, the ache of being misunderstood. But in equal measure, she offers warmth, beauty, and joy. There are poems here that scream. Others whisper. All of them tell the truth. With language that is as raw as it is lyrical, Thompson writes for the overfeelers, the ones who carry too much, who stay too long, who try to love without losing themselves. This book is not about perfection. It's about permission. Permission to unravel. To rebuild. To admit that healing is messy and nonlinear. To remember that softness is not weakness, but power. Whether you're grieving, growing, searching, or simply surviving, Because I Felt Everything meets you where you are. It's not here to fix you. It's here to remind you that you were never broken. For anyone who has ever felt too deeply in a world that asked them not to, this book is for you.

Autorenporträt

Hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Makitia Thompson is a storyteller who dives headfirst into the human experience, examining the fragile line between triumph and tragedy, the cost of fame, the ache of abandonment, and the shadowed corners of desire. For over a decade, she has crafted fictional autobiographies and interview-style narratives that peel back the polished surfaces of her characters, revealing the truths they'd rather keep buried. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson has built a creative hub dedicated to bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. Her company blends literature, visual art, and immersive world-building to challenge audiences to confront uncomfortable realities and discover self-reflection through honesty. Her oil and acrylic paintings often echo the emotional weight of her books, creating a visual bridge between her art forms. Starting her writing journey at just 11 years old, Thompson has spent years refining her craft, always circling back to one question: How do we rise above our past to become who we were meant to be?
