... Read moreReading Tabitha Hinkley's poem 'Love or Lust' immediately brought to mind the delicate balance between emotional connection and physical desire that many people experience in relationships. The line 'Love is lust' challenges the conventional separation of these feelings and prompts reflection on how intertwined they can truly be. In my own life, I’ve noticed that the yearning described in the poem—the ‘thirst’ for touch and closeness—is a powerful force driving human connection. Whether it’s through a gentle hug or a lingering glance, these small moments of intimacy often reveal our deeper emotional needs. The poem’s brevity and poignant wording make it resonate instantly, capturing that fleeting but intense sensation of longing. It reminds me of times when absence amplifies desire, when simply missing someone turns into a tangible ache. For anyone exploring the nuances of love and relationships, this poem serves as a meaningful reflection and conversation starter. It highlights how physical desire often intertwines with emotional vulnerability, creating a complex but beautiful experience that is both universal and deeply personal. If you enjoy poetry that captures real-life emotions in a concise yet impactful way, this piece is worth a read. Consider how longing shows up in your own relationships and what it reveals about the connection you share with others.

How I Published A Book
1. First start with an Outline: I had an idea of what I wanted to write, but creating character and chapter outlines helps put the ideas down. That way no second guessing comes into play and it is just the thoughts. 2. Taking Progress Photos This helped me get an idea of how much I was writing
