The power of poetry is often understated. Unbeknownst to many, poetry is a powerful mode of self-expression that often brings self-healing and self-discovery in a cathartic manner. Most people that write poetry would often say that the journey had helped them discover more about themselves through introspection. Those that read poetry have also shared that the messages have allowed them to reflect and heal.
It is a remarkable feedback loop of positivity, and Cuban-American poet N.M. Sanchez has discovered a creative way of helping ease people’s troubles outside of the therapy room.
Since the early days of her life, N.M. Sanchez has always had a deep passion for creative writing. This passion would continue to blossom as she found out that poetry was an extremely effective way of creative expression.
In 2009, N.M. Sanchez started her own blog where she wrote down most of her thoughts, feelings, and experiences. She crafted many poems that quickly gained the adoration of many of her readers. This prompted her to continue writing and honing her craft in hopes that her words would deeply resonate with her audience.
Nowadays, N.M. Sanchez has become a beloved poet who has had two best-selling and self-published poetry books. Her books managed to contend with several popular authors who have already found support within prominent publishing companies.
N.M. Sanchez has garnered a staggering 60 million impressions on Instagram and has captured a worldwide following of readers and fans from the United Kingdom, Germany, Greece, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and the Netherlands.
Her first poetry collection published in January 2018 was titled “Initial Meeting.” The second, “Lovers in Theory,” came in July 2020. “You have to acknowledge that with success comes hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Nothing is handed to you. There was always a struggle, but I kept writing, I kept sharing, I kept interacting with my audience and building the online community you see today. I didn’t give up, and I figure I must be doing something right if you’re reading this right now,” she shared.
N.M. Sanchez fully understands the responsibility that she holds as a successful poet. She hopes that her courage, creativity, and determination will inspire more and more people to express themselves creatively. She firmly believes that they will know when the time is right. They will know in their hearts that their words will make a lasting difference in the lives of multiple people, and somewhere along the way, they will find the courage to step out of their comfort zone.
“Give yourself the time and space to create, no matter how long it may take. This idea that we need to constantly produce content is unreasonable, and that sort of mindset will result in burnout. Take a trip, go somewhere new, give yourself the chance to be inspired and to create something you’re proud of,” shared N.M. Sanchez.
N.M. Sanchez has utilized the power of social media to display her talents and spread her positive message to the world. Her Instagram account has become a massive avenue for aspiring poets, artists, musicians, and businesses. She fully supports the creative community by sharing her story and letting them know of the many beautiful benefits of creative expression.
