Good book I love poetry and this book really hit the spot

Some of the words on the page are things I needed to hear and read—reminding myself of the complexities of self-love and loving others. Although some pages seem straight forward, I admire the stream of consciousness style of writing and how the words are framed throughout the day with the time stamp. I enjoyed it even if it’s not my favorite piece of selected poetry.

My fav fragments:

“There will come a point where everything falls into place.
Everything makes sense. Why this didn’t happen, why that did. Every past experience, moment, and memory is just that: in the past. And you won’t look back. You’ll be too busy living in the present world enjoying your beautiful life without hesitations or fear of anything. You’ll catch yourself smiling for no apparent reason except the realization that this is your life and you are here for it.

It might seem absurd to you right now. It might nob. Maybe the world is weighting down on you; you feel like you’re drowning and there is no way to make it stop. No way to reach the light in whatever dark void you’ve found yourself.
Maybe you haven’t even found yourself at all.

Your time is coming.

I remember feeling empty, alone, scared of the world and what it had in store for me. I remember having these fears of judgements and failure and letting these drive my actions each day. I remember my late nights, the ones where I would spend hours sitting in darkness thinking “Is this how the rest of my life will be? What if it doesn’t change?” Even worse: “what if I keep believing it Will and then it never does?”

But it does. I can promise you that. People always say that, I know, but I’ve experienced this and once you do too you’ll understand these words and the power they carry.
These bits and pieces of yourself that you own are soon to fall into place. And you will feel like you are on top of the world. Your entire outlook on life might even change.

How do I know?

Well, I’m sitting here writing this and smiling for no apparent reason except the realization that this is my life


And I’M HERE FOR IT.”


“If I look into a mirror and don’t like what I see, I won’t change my appearance.
I’ll change my mindset.”


“Self love is survival.
Without that, oxygen won’t do a damn thing.”

If you’ve ever been left for someone else these poems will hit home as well. It brings you through the whole process of love, heartbreak, &healing. Swipe through to see a few of my favorite quotes.
