This is a collection of poems about nostalgia, wishing to go back to a simpler time, and reflecting on both the beauty and sadness of the past. From homework, to extracurricular activities, to stressing about college applications, high school students these days feel a lot of pressure, and are under a lot of stress. These poems stemmed from wishing to go back to happier years when I didn’t feel so much pressure, while also recognizing that the past still had its own problems. These poems were all written for different projects, however they all have very similar themes.

Exploring my creativity through writing allows me to express my emotions. Through writing I'm able to explore my feelings in a more real and unfiltered way. If I'm struggling with something I'll explore that in my writing, and it can help me process things.
