Book excerpt: "The last snowflake lands on my nose and melts. Blue fingers turning white. With a distant familiarity I look at your lingering gaze and wonder what changed. Nostalgia fills the air and the dew reminds us of the seasons changing and new beginnings." Shades Of Blue delves into the raw and emotional journey of navigating your early twenties. Through a collection of poems, Mia C. reflects on the challenges of growing up where friendships are tested, hearts are broken, and the sense of belonging feels fleeing. Resonating with anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world.
