For the dreamers, the overthinkers, and those who carry both light and shadow—this poetry collection explores the rawness of transformation, longing, and resilience. Through unfiltered words, it captures the beauty in darkness, the hope in breaking, and the journey of finding ourselves again. A space to feel, heal, and remember that we are still growing.
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.
