Returned to Sender: The Bound Softcover

On Returning to Yourself:

I knew before I was allowed to know.

Before the silence thickened.

Before the words thinned out.

Before anyone named what was already leaving.

✦

Returned to Sender is a prose collection about the moment you stop overriding yourself.

Across intimate reflections and original illustrations, Jazmyne traces the quiet ache of loving deeply without disappearing — the almosts, the subtle withdrawals, the futures that flicker and fade. Not with spectacle. Not with blame. But with precision.

This is not a book about heartbreak.

It is a book about recognition.

About the body as witness.

About choosing not to shrink to be chosen.

Here, intuition is not romanticized.

It is trusted.

Boundaries are not punishment.

They are return.

What begins in tenderness moves through rupture and into reclamation — not to prove survival, but to restore sight.

Not: I endured.

But: I see — and I will not look away.

For anyone who felt the shift before it was spoken.

For anyone who learned to make themselves smaller to stay.

For anyone ready to keep themselves.

Returned to Sender is not a collapse.

It is a homecoming.
