In her third poetry collection, Marciella comes to realize that empathy isn’t always a gift. The thing she thought was a blessing could easily become a curse to herself and others. And that realization led her to heal the years of relationships it affected. This caused her to sift through every relationship she ever had from her childhood all the way to having children of her own. Her introspection brought the journey of falling to rising, healing to breaking, holding on to letting go. Leading her to conclude that taking care of yourself can truly become the greatest gift to yourself and others.
