Please Stay: A Letter for the One Who Feels Done
Dear You, If you're reading this, it means something in you is still searching. Still reaching. Still here. And I want you to know: I'm so glad you are.
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
Sonesta Wilde Studios is an emotionally resonant stationery and lifestyle brand created to help people feel seen, heard, and held—especially in the moments that often go unspoken.
I’m Jasmine, though many in the literary world know me as poet and author Sonesta Wilde. You’re welcome to call me either; my hope is simply that you feel connected to the person behind the work. The truth is, the name simply came to me as if it were waiting for me to arrive — and soon after I realized how deeply its meaning fit both my writing and my life.
“Sonesta” speaks to softness—reflection, introspection, and emotional depth.
“Wilde” honors the complexity—the mess, the storm, the untamed parts of being human.
Our products live in the space between those two truths: where healing happens, where stories unfold, and where softness is allowed to take up space.
This brand was founded from a deep desire to transform vulnerability into connection, and inner dialogue into shared understanding. What began as a pen name has grown into something more layered: a mission, a movement, and a creative identity that I now carry into every piece I create.
There was a time when I wasn’t sure I would stay.
A time when writing became my lifeline—one sentence, one breath, one journal page at a time.
I didn’t start this brand with a business plan. I started it with pain. With the quiet hope that maybe, just maybe, if I could put my ache into words, it might help someone else feel less alone in theirs.
Sonesta Wilde Studios was born from the belief that vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the beginning of healing. That opening our hearts, even when they tremble, can make room for something soft to bloom.
Every card, every shirt, every message I create is rooted in that truth. These aren’t just products—they’re touchpoints. They carry the kind of words I once needed, and now offer freely to anyone who might need them too.
If my darkness can help bring light into someone else’s world, then it was never wasted.
You are not alone in your becoming.
We’re walking this path together—one breath, one reminder, one tender truth at a time.
In solidarity with your journey,
— Jasmine ~ Sonesta

“Please stay.” Just two words. But for someone caught in the heaviness of it all, they can mean everything.
Instead of hiding our truths, we must speak from the heart. We are learning to sit, speak, and walk with our pain. We are not afraid of each other's night...
