Boring and I'm trying not to read books I don't want to read

Oh, the truth is I hated living here until I wasn’t living here.
Once, I was nineteen and burning and
feeling everything at once.
I’ll never be older than I was at 19.
The truth is that I don’t have anything of substance
to say. Nothing unique or worth repeating
just words on a page rushing
to a finish line
but you are the only person I always want
to say nothing to. I have loved you for my entire life.

Caitlin’s writing is always to the point you expecting to reach. There were ones that pulled my heart in every direction but there were ones I felt were confusing, but that’s the point, right? I’m not supposed to understand everything specifically when it comes to grief. We experience it differently. This collection rings close to younger women’s hearts and should serve as a reminder of what once was for older readers. We own the world, but we don’t but we do.

Caitlin Conlon processes loss and describes the human experience with grief in a way that is raw and beautiful
