"It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do." -Stephen Fry

At times writing a review is not a simple task. Especially when a book is so heartrendingly beautiful in all its glorious and raw nature.

Damaged is a book of narrative poetic storytelling that bleeds with emotion from the deepest depths of the heart and soul. It is an experience of ones human existence; the experiences of life, love and loss.

The journey in the darkness connects to the four elements of life; Earth, Air, Fire and Water. We walk it, we breathe it, we burn, and we drink it in as the pages are turned. It is a journey of the beautifully broken, rich with meaningful prose, and uplifting in the overcoming.

Dark, gritty, and powerful! Truly captivating it has nestled into my heart and soul!

I am Damaged.

Grief...
"It doesn't get better," I said. "The pain. The wounds scab over and you don't always feel like a knife is slashing through you. But when you least expect it, the pain flashes to remind you you'll never be the same."-Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits
