The Ponderings of Me, Myself and I by Natasha Walker
You know how some books just hit different? They make you laugh, get a lump in your throat, and then suddenly have you thinking about things you never really noticed before. The Ponderings of Me, Myself and I by Natasha Walker is one of those books. It’s not just a read; it feels more like stepping into someone else’s head for a while.
The book is split into three parts: Me, Myself, and I. Each one has its own mood. Some pages are soft and warm, others are heavy and sharp, and a few pull you into places that feel a little strange, even haunting.
If you love animals, there are stories that peek into the lives of strays. If poetry is your thing, the raw pieces here will land hard. And if you’re into the darker side of life, magic, death, the unknown, you’ll find that too. It’s a mix, but somehow it works. Every section leaves you with something to sit with, something that lingers after you’ve put the book down.
About The Author
Let’s meet Natasha Walker, the mastermind behind the masterpiece The Ponderings of Me, Myself and I. She is multi-talented, being an amazing writer, an inspiring teacher, and a true enthusiast of stories all at the same time.
Her stories often return to the same big questions: love, loss, identity, and what it means to be human. But she doesn’t write from a distance. She writes the way she teaches: openly, honestly, and always looking for the spark that makes a connection.
Natasha has always been pulled into stories. As a child, she’d sit for hours with a book, wandering through strange places and different times without ever leaving her chair. Those early adventures stuck with her and, bit by bit, grew into her own love for writing.
The Ponderings of Me, Myself and I by Natasha Walker, a heartfelt blend of stories and poetry about emotions that capture the depth of being human. Each page takes you through love, loss, and reflection, making it one of the best books on human emotions you’ll just want to read again. Honest, moving, and beautifully written, it invites every reader to feel, think, and connect.
Adventures That Shaped My Journey
I lived 3 years in Venezuela as a young child and visited areas like the Amazon Jungle where I saw the Angel Falls, as well as Los Llanos, a more flat area where we witnessed crocodiles and boa constructors being saved from small, drying up rivers and lakes during the dry season, and fishing for piranhas and feeding them to crocodiles. We saw the famous sand dune Dune number 7 in Namibia as well, walking up and down it as kids. Spent some time in China, walked some of the Great Wall and saw the famous Forbidden City before tourists weren’t allowed to go close to it. These are the huge ones that had an impact as I got to meet some interesting people who also had an impact on my life and way of thinking.
Me—Stories of Empathy and Connection
The first part, Me, starts in a pretty unexpected way. It’s told through the everyday lives and secret thoughts of animals and even objects. Natasha lets the little things speak for themselves. A stray dog dreaming of a real home. A cat slipping through the night. Even a greeting card just waiting for someone to pick it up.
The stories feel alive and warm. They nudge you to slow down and notice the stuff we usually walk past. Every creature, every tiny thing, has a voice if you’re willing to hear it.
If you love animals, these pieces will hit even harder. They’re about care, family, and the strange joy of being seen. Natasha writes in a way that makes you lean in, reminding you that the quiet ones aren’t actually quiet at all.
Myself — The Struggle Within
The second part, Myself, feels different right away. Natasha isn’t just telling stories here. She’s letting us into her head with poems that cut close to the bone.
These pieces dig into the fights we all know but don’t always talk about. Control. Fear. Sadness. Anger. But also that stubborn strength we use to keep going. Each poem feels like a mirror, almost daring you to look at yourself and see what’s hiding underneath.
What makes this section powerful is how raw it is. Natasha doesn’t dress it up or soften it. She shows that saying, “I hurt,” is its own kind of bravery. And instead of pretending to fix everything, her words sit with you, like a friend who doesn’t need to fill the silence.
If you’re someone who likes writing that really makes you stop and feel something, this part will stick with you. It’s not about giving answers. It’s about showing that none of us are really alone in the mess.

I — A Glimpse into the Shadows
The last part of the book, I, goes into the shadows. This is where Natasha steps into the strange and the hidden, things most people don’t talk about or would rather turn away from.
You’ll find stories about death, magic, and the supernatural. One moment, you’re sitting with Death as he does his work. Next, you’re inside the head of a demon that’s been called up. Then, out of nowhere, you’re watching an unborn child offer forgiveness.
Some of it is eerie. Some of it might make you pause. But it isn’t just about the chills, it’s about asking questions. What does forgiveness really look like? What does morality mean when the rules aren’t clear? And what do we do with the mysteries we’ll never solve?
The Ponderings of Me, Myself and I isn’t the kind of book you can stick in just one box. One page might give you a touching short story. The next, a poem that feels like it’s pulling something out of your chest. Then suddenly, you’re in darker, stranger territory that makes you stop and think. It jumps around, but in the best way, like getting the full range of what it feels like to be human.
Each piece stands on its own, but when you put them all together, you end up on this layered ride. It’s light, then heavy. Hopeful, then raw. Real at times, imaginative at others. That mix is what makes the book stick with you long after you close it.
Who Will Enjoy This Book?
This collection is for anyone who likes stories that make you stop and feel something real. If you love animals, you’ll find warmth in the short stories of Me. If poetry is your thing, Myself brings an honesty that feels straight from the heart. And if you’re into the darker side of fiction, I dive into the strange and the supernatural, think brushes with Death, demons, and wandering spirits.
What makes the book special is the mix. Some parts are soft, some heavy, some thoughtful, and all of it fits together in surprising ways. You don’t have to read it from front to back, either. Dip into one section or sink into the whole thing. The Ponderings of Me, Myself and I isn’t just another book; it’s an experience that lingers.
