Diana Contreras has been writing poetry since the age of 9, writing poems and stories for her dad. Her love for music and art have shaped her passion for writing and romanticizing love. She began selling poems in grade school to classmates who couldn't seem to rhyme. Taking poetry as an extra curriculum class in summer was her favorite thing of all. Now 30 years of age, not much has changed as she is still very passionate about writing through her experiences of love and pain. "The L word", takes you on a bittersweet walk through the phases of LOVE. Diana exquisitely describes the experiences we've all been through when falling in and out of love. Leaving very little to the imagination she goes deep into the emotions of heartbreak, betrayal and short love flings with impossible love. Her tough though positive outlook will give you the best of both worlds ...happiness through pain in order to find yourself again.
