    About this ebook

    **I know you don’t want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you’re just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, “this is beautiful,” when no one else can see what you see. Or, “Here, this is where the pain is.” 

    But some part of you knows, the truth about the words you cannot say is that they only hurt until you say them. They only hurt until the person who needs to hear them, hears them.  Because we are human, and the closest we’ve ever come to showing each other who we really are, and how we love, is with words.

    So I’m going to try to say to you here, what I wish you’d say to me too. Please.
    Listen. We can change things.
     
    Here.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Rewriting the Story of Your Life

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      This book made me feel something i never felt before. The words inside made me want to change myself and listen to what i have read. I will read it over and over every-time i feel myself down.
    • 5/5
      It's a beautiful poetry collection about life and how to navigate through it. Sometimes we're caught up in the midst of all the struggles and sadness of life that we forget to breathe. And on the days we forget to do as little as breathe, and when we need a nudge to keep pushing, poetry books like this, come in handy. I love that these poems spoke to me, the humanity of me, to remind me if I have forgotten that I am who I say I am. And not whom everybody wants me to be, or believe I am.

      In another review I read, someone described this book as a really good therapy session. It was a very apt description. I enjoyed it, however it felt like the delivery was a little cliche. The sentiment of the work is beautiful still, and these words are ones we must allow ourselves to embrace. The visual appeal is stunning. There are interesting images throughout, but the images made with the words themselves are stellar. "You are a song the universe sings itself, in every color it can imagine." *In exchange for an honest review, I received an advanced e-copy courtsey of Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley.com.

      I liked this collection but it wasn’t my favorite. There were some really good nuggets to take away but as a whole it was just ok for me.I received a free copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
