Find Me In The Land Of Venus And Milk

Find Me In The Land Of Venus And Milk is about us slowly and harshly learning that love is not what they told us when we were children. It is not all summer and stargazing. We fall in love with people who are sick, broken and suicidal, and we give them all we have, believing that we can save them but only rob ourselves of ourselves and miss out on our youth and little adventures that life sets for us. We are so sad that we think the memories we create are real, but the truth is, they are rehearsed and filtered a hundred times only to feed the media, and as time goes on, we end up making ourselves believe that we are happy, we are in love and we got everything figured out. Until one day, you wake up and find the person you love and sacrificed a lot for has taken their life or taken everything you gave them and given it to someone else.

This collection is about people who love with all they have, and about not losing yourself to the chaos and what it takes to let go, to move on and to save yourself.

Trigger Warning: This book explores themes around mental health topics such as depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide.
