Make Believe: Poems for Hoping Again by Victoria Hutchins

hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

"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.
