by Janine Canono (Author)
In Here, I Mend is a collection of poems and prose about self-healing, pain, and growth. It's a story about how each of us can get lost in the journey of our transitions and how we find ourselves back through the process of mending. It is a beautiful journey that is unique for each of us. It's an endless road of healing and learning as we go through the seasons of our growth.
This book is a reminder that self-love is more than just taking care of one's self. But mostly, it is about learning how to sit with your fears, to sit with your thoughts, and ruthlessly accept yourself in all its glory and days of brokenness. It is about loving and giving to yourself first, before sharing yourself with the world without leaving your cup empty.Janine Canono is a writer and poet based in the Philippines.

Excerpt from the book In Here, I Mend:
They say, time heals.
But over time, I am slowly learning that allowing the pain to just simply be,is already not giving it the power to conquer the remaining strength within me. By allowing it to exist, I am learning to find comfort in the dark,
to find comfort in the waiting, and not having to rush time until it finally mends me.
Learning how to make friends with the dark, until I'm ready to set it free.
