What happens when you realize the deepest loss wasn't the person you loved, but the self you abandoned to keep them?
The Truth About the Lies I Told Myself is a powerful hybrid memoir told through poems, letters, and reflective prose. It explores relational grief, people-pleasing, and the quiet, cumulative ways we learn to betray ourselves in the name of love, loyalty, and survival.
Beginning with hope, devotion, and the belief that commitment can fix anything, this book traces the evolution of a woman who tried to love hard enough to make a relationship work, even when it required her to shrink, stay silent, and doubt her own knowing. As the narrative unfolds, those early expressions of love become evidence: proof of how deeply she wanted to be chosen, and how much she was willing to sacrifice to avoid being alone.
This is not just a breakup story. It is a reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves to endure what hurts us. The lies that say be patient, be understanding, be smaller, be grateful, love harder. The lies that convince us that survival is the same as happiness.
Through moments of clarity, rupture, grief, anger, tenderness, and dark humor, the book follows the slow unlearning of those lies and the difficult work of returning to the truth of the body, the voice, and the self. Healing is not presented as neat or complete, but as ongoing: a practice of boundaries, rest, accountability, and choosing oneself without apology.
Unflinching yet compassionate, The Truth About the Lies I Told Myself is for readers who have loved deeply, stayed too long, questioned their worth, and are ready to name their grief without shame. It is a book about losing love-and finding yourself still here.
