My second audiobook of poetry focuses on three aspects of my life. This audiobook is more in depth with my feelings, emotions, and struggles. Most of the poems were written between 2008 and 2010. I went through a crush, a miscarriage, AND graduation from school. I went through a lot mentally. Love. Lust. Life. was originally the first audiobook and Chocolate Kisses was a part of LLL. I decided to break the two apart to separate two aspects of my life. Love focuses on being in love, unrequited love, the fantasy of being in love. Lust focuses on my sexuality. Life focuses on some of the things I went through.
