Somewhere Between Almost and Enough

A Poetry Collection by Jayda Keskinen

This is for the almost.

The not-quites.

The love that slipped through your fingers before it ever had the chance to stay.

Somewhere Between Almost and Enough is a deeply honest collection of poetry that captures what it means to grow up feeling too much. It is told through the raw, reflective voice of a young heart learning how to heal. These poems explore first love and quiet heartbreak, aching silences and unanswered texts, the pain of not being chosen, and the journey back to yourself.

Split into four parts -Almost, Enough, Empty Spaces, and Becoming- this collection walks through the emotional stages of falling hard, breaking apart, and slowly learning how to let go. Each poem feels like a short journal entry you were never supposed to read, a voice note that was never sent, or a truth whispered only to the dark.

For anyone who's ever given their heart away too easily, questioned if they were ever enough, or is still learning how to be whole on their own, this is for you.
