i have some exciting news! 'i think this feeling is hope' is available to pre-order today and will be available for normal orders tomorrow ♡ it should be releasing in multiple countries as i have chosen to print with @ingramsparkbooks , though the screenshots above are from the uk pages for waterstones and amazon! thank you to everyone who has followed my journey and stuck with me xx DISCLAIMER: 'i think this feeling is hope' covers and alludes to serious topics related to mental health through a lens of personal experience. therefore, this title may not be suitable for young viewers and it is advisable that any caregivers read through it first before allowing any child to view the content to account for any triggers or dark subject matter. there is a resources page within the text containing links to various mental health organisations in case the subject material is impactful to you or someone you know. however, this book focuses on a journey to recovery, meaning the theme by the end is positive. the intent of this book is to be open about, share, and raise awareness of specific experiences that hazyn forsythe has dealt with and the book deals with matters in chronological order, showcasing the ups and downs of mental health. https://www.instagram.com/p/CguP3svopkr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

hello! hazyn here ♡ these photos are from when i went berry-picking earlier this week with family, but i thought i'd take the opportunity to update you guys a little more on my current project: 1. the title for the collection will be "i think this feeling is hope", derived from a line of poetry within the collection 2. the book will be self-published, which in my case means i have created the interior and exterior layouts myself, used my own photography for the cover, and have put careful thought into the order of poems within each section (as well as written the poems themselves, of course!) 3. this book is my first solo-published venture, but i have gained skills through working on 'monstera' ( @brayfordbardpress ) and as a creative writing uni student in general, which have helped me ensure this collection is the best it could be ♡ 4. it is only the beginning! i have several projects planned for the future, which i am just as excited to share with you guys as i am to share this 🥺✨️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CgCH0XxISaA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

just thought i would let people know... am still creating the future posts which will explain more, but am too excited to share this with everyone that i couldn't wait! it's something i've been working hard on for months and am finally close to being able to release it into the world ♡ ✨️ this will be my first solo-published poetry collection ✨️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CfwehpGo3nG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

have almost finished my last assignment of the year! once this is in, i'll be able to focus on my current creative projects, which is exciting ♡ (i'm working towards my first solo poetry collection!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeTkxg9N2wX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

the willows ruffled otherwhere eyes like palmsfull of rainblack feathers - is this a god’s lament? I wait for the weeping for someone to notice: the soul does not bark quiet in the night and loneliness remains isolate unforgivable

As a child, I was always searching for the meaning of it all, the big Why; and my father always said that there is no one big purpose but I had the most ripe orange today and kissed my cat goodnight, I think that's enough purpose for a day.
