"I have so much to do, you always say.
But the doing always gets done.
It's the living you should keep an eye on."
I preordered this after I heard "don't save joy for last" online and I'm so glad I did. For anyone who's ever hard on themself, feel lost in life or forget what really matters, there's a lot of really beautiful perspective in here. The writing is simple but still poetic. It discusses hope, life and death, friendship, family, love, God, and tree frogs. My overall takeaway from this was a reminder to slow down, enjoy what life offers and hold on dearly to those you love.

"Sure, I would love for my wanting to be less obvious. But I came into the world hungry, and I intend to leave licking the plate. I came into the world thirsty, and I’ll slurp until the glass is taken away."
I love this collection. While for me most doesn't feel like 'poetry' per se but it does touched me in so many ways.
"Maybe when my life flashes before my eyes at the end of all this, I’ll see
every shade of woman I ever was. Maybe on the other side waits my nature
before nurture. Some iridescent, steady thing."
I love this part comparing human lives to chameleon and how we're different shades of 'personas' in one vessel.
However, I have to question this one on: "When I spot that one girl in a photo, the love and light
drain out of my body.
I can’t help but think:
What does anyone see in her?
She’s attention seeking."
and then she realised at the end she doesn't feel like that about herself anymore. Does the writer thinks that it is not ok to think such things about yourself but it is ok to think like that about others?
