What is Thoughts on Life?
Thoughts on Life is a poetic newsletter that delves into the intricate nuances of life, embracing both its sweetness and bitterness. Here, I explore themes of collective healing and everything in between, fostering a safe space where vulnerability is celebrated, and emotions are embraced as gateways to a deeper connection with ourselves.
Within these pages, anticipate a fusion of poetic expression, engaging writing prompts to spark introspection, opportunities for writing mentorship, and exciting announcements about special projects.
Join me on this journey of words, where each piece is crafted to resonate with the shared experiences that make us human.
A Little Bit About Me
My name is Dhayana Alejandrina (@dhayanalejandrina) and I am a Dominican poet, storyteller, and creative writing mentor. I immigrated to the United States in 2009 with my family at the age of thirteen. As I live, learn, and unlearn, the connection I have with writing—and myself—has deepened and evolved. My work explores different topics such as inner growth, devotion, culture, and spiritual healing. In Fall 2021, I published my debut book Agridulce (“bittersweet” in Spanish) —a combination of emotions, thoughts, and experiences written in poetry and prose form. As I continue to tell my story through writing, I want to foster a space where people feel safe to communicate and embrace their emotions as part of their journey of self-discovery, acceptance, healing, and growth.
Thank you for being part of the Thoughts on Life community!
I am grateful for you.
with love,
Dhayana Alejandrina
