This collection of self-expression is for those who feel deeply—the dreamers, the overthinkers, and those who carry both light and shadow. It’s about navigating the complexities of being human: the long nights, the weight we bear in our bodies, and the dreams we chase, even when the world feels heavy. These poems and writings do not follow traditional rules; they are raw, open, and unfiltered. They explore the pain of transformation, the pull of longing, and the quiet moments when we realize we are still here, still fighting, and still growing. It’s about losing yourself and finding your way back—time and time again. If you have ever craved more from life, more from yourself, or simply a space to feel seen, these words are for you. This book serves as a reminder that even in the darkness, there is beauty, and even in the process of breaking, there is hope.

A Beautiful Masterpiece That Spoke to My Soul
Wow… this book truly moved me. It isn’t just poetry, it’s an experience. Every word felt like it was written for me. It taught me so much about healing, growth, and embracing both the light and dark parts of myself.
The honesty in the writing is so refreshing. You can feel the heart behind every piece. And the paintings? Absolutely stunning. They don’t just accompany the words, they bring them to life in such a powerful way. I found myself pausing, reflecting, even tearing up at times.
It’s a book I’ll keep coming back to. Thank you to the author for creating something so real and so needed.

I came across That What Lingers by chance while browsing with my mother and from the moment I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Tanyia has given voice to emotions I’ve carried in silence for years, and offered language for a kind of shame I thought was mine alone.
Reading this book felt like being witnessed in a deeply personal way. Again and again, I found myself thinking: She knows. And with that recognition came a powerful sense of relief and solidarity.
Her writing speaks directly to the quiet, inherited ache so many women carry shaped by our families, cultures, and unspoken histories. Her ability to articulate generational shame and longing with such clarity and compassion moved me.That What Lingers is more than a book it’s a mirror and a quiet act of revolution. I’ll carry its impact with me for a long time.

I just finished That What Lingers and I honestly don’t even know where to begin. This book broke me in the best possible way.
It’s dark, raw, and deeply emotional—but also incredibly honest. As someone who struggles with depression, I felt seen in a way that very few books manage to do. There were moments where the words hit so close to home that I had to pause and just sit with them.
I cried my heart out reading this. Not just because it’s heartbreaking, but because it captures those quiet, heavy feelings so beautifully and truthfully.
This is the kind of book that lingers with you long after you’ve closed it (which feels fitting). If you’re looking for something powerful, vulnerable, and unforgettable, I can’t recommend it enough. I’m so incredibly proud to know the brilliant mind behind it. ❤️ Tan, you are phenomenal and such a beautiful human. You shine so bright my beautiful friend.
