"There's always good in the bad. I will always be testing you, pushing you past your self-imposed limits but, above all, I will always be here to support you...Forever yours, The Universe."

Whether you realize it or not, the universe lays out your perfect plan, the steps you take towards the dreams that are bigger and better for you. Author Madison Kelley realized this truth as she embarked on a journey marked with independence, mystery, love, heartbreak, and clarity. At twenty-five, she has a breadth of lessons to share. In her debut poetry collection, What I Gave You, Kelley uses poetry to follow the ups, downs, and in-betweens of growing up.

Brimming with heartfelt detail, vivid memories, and clever lyricism, What I Gave You takes readers on a bumpy ride through the twenty-somethings — first loves, first tastes of freedom, first heartbreaks, and first understandings of your life's purpose. Kelley makes an example of her own experience. From ending long distance relationships to moving to Macau for a new job to finding her purpose as a writer, she assures you that there are twists and turns on this journey, and that's okay.

Most importantly, What I Gave You promises that you'll be okay.
