Know My Name by Chanel Miller
5.0
“I believe that’s what being a victim is: living with that little, finicky, darting thing inside you. Most people say development is linear. But, for survivors, it is cyclic. People grow up, victims grow around. We strengthen around that place of hurt, become older and fuller, but the vulnerable core is never gone. More than becoming a frog, I believe surviving means learning to live forever with this trembling tadpole.”
This book healed a part of me I didn’t know was still hurting. I needed these words from Chanel. I needed the acknowledgment that I am not broken because sometimes I still live in the darkness of that pain. Reading this book helped me feel seen and heard and valued in ways I can’t even describe.
