Debut Collection Now Available
Forgiving the Poppies by
Marie raine
A collection of confessions and secrets that were only whispered in the endless haze of poppies. I’ve recently decided to forgive them for keeping me trapped with those secrets. For a decade I slept with my eyes open and disassociated through life. These works are proof of my liberation. I hope reading about it will inspire you to wake up and free yourself too.

About Marie
I’ve always been told I’m too sensitive. I take things personally, I’m too emotional, I need to relax, etc. These thoughts shaped who I believed I was, until I didn’t know who was staring at me in the mirror. I ran from conflict, judgement, failure. Basically anything that would make me feel more than what society thought was acceptable.
It took a lot of self reflection and forgiveness for my past and the mistakes I’ve made before I was ready to share myself with anyone again. Now, I am rebuilding relationships. Even with myself. I am learning to love who is in the mirror, no matter who she happens to be that day!
