I Was Never Broken: Volume 3
Welcome back. Well, of course, only if it’s your third time being here. If not, welcome. I don’t want you to think you need to read these collections in order—but it may help understand my growth. If you’re new here; this is my open journal. This is where I allow myself to be free and allow my vulnerability to shine in every way. I allow myself to be me, unapologetically.
I started the first volume at 16 and finished it at 25. I was going through a major life change. It became one of my favorite books because it captures honest feelings and of course, my voice. Something I lived through most of my life without.
The” I Was Never Broken” collection became a favorite worldwide. It’s hit the best-seller charts on Amazon on multiple occasions. It received a lot of beautiful feedback and some not so much. I’m thankful for anyone taking the time to read my work regardless. The grammar might not be perfect and you may come across a mistake but the one thing I try to always bring is the ability to leave knowing we’re all human and mistakes aren’t something that defines us and the message is more powerful than the way it’s spoken. I believe that’s why we’re here; to find ourselves in others, to find inspiration and healing. I am here to tell my story in the most imperfect way.
In this collection, I will include pieces I wrote back from when I was younger, which will include a time and date stamp or an acknowledgment that it was when I was (whatever age I was when I wrote it). The dates will not be in order. There are no sections. So, prepare for an emotional roller coaster. I also added little hearts on the end of the pages of my favorite pieces! I hope you enjoy this collection.
Most importantly,
I hope you hear me. I hope you feel me.

The words in this book are powerful. They're intimate. I felt as though someone had gazed into my mind, made sense of the clutter, and wrote it onto a page, transcribing my thoughts into poetic lines. I felt so seen. I am in the midst of a difficult season, a separation, an ending yet also a beginning. And these words soothed me. I felt like I wasn't alone. It read like an anthem, a spoken word, a letter from a friend, a breath of a diary, someone's deepest heartfelt musings written in pen.
If you are going through a break up, a divorce, a separation, I highly recommend this for the season you're in. I hope it helps you remember why you had to make the choices you did. I hope it quenches something inside you like it did for me. I hope you go back to your favorites again and again, each time the words healing you in a fresh way.

It's a powerful memoir that is both relatable and inspiring. The result is a poignant and emotional that is sure to resonate with readers.
There are times that I find myself tearing up or feeling overwhelmed. However, despite the sadness, the book also manages to be hopeful and inspiring.
One of the most powerful aspects of "I Was Never Broken Vol 3" is how relatable it is. The emotions that the author describes are universal. You'll find yourself nodding along in recognition and feeling like you're not alone in your struggles. The book is a reminder that everyone has their own battles to fight, but that there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
Ultimately, it is a book about self-worth, healing and the power of resilience. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a way forward. If you're looking for a book that will make you cry, but also make you feel comforted and less alone, this is definitely one to add to your reading list.
These are some of my favorite lines,
"I knew it was time to let someone go when I gave all of me to the point there was no more to give. When they didn’t question my absence. All the chasing trying to prove my loyalty, when they decided not to meet me halfway."
:People hear the word ghosting and assume you walked away without speaking a word, that an explanation is always deserved. What about the situation where you’re constantly shut out and desperately looking to be heard, but they’re not there to listen?"
"Sometimes they gave what they could until they couldn’t."

March 22, 2023This one blew my mind - the other two are amazing, but this one takes first prize! I never knew how much I needed to read this book until I started reading the first few pages. This book just grabs me by the core, speaking to every single ounce of self love, calling out all the times where the self love and healing was set aside or control was masked as care.
Some parts of me sometimes think I don’t need healing and that when you’re out of the situation it’s all good.
I felt very overwhelmed reading the book and I read some parts multiple times before moving on as they truly touched something deep inside of me and forced me to recognize I needed some healing.
But the way my mind feels after reading this, is indescribable.
I cannot even believe the healing that has come from reading this and the self reflection that it’s caused.
This will definitely be a book I re-read regularly and will recommend to all my friends! ♥️

This was one of my first books by Sara, and I cannot wait to read more. This book had me in my feelings the entire time, Sara is very raw with her writing. It's refreshing to read honest, true feelings. I felt like I could relate to alot of her words, some opened my mind to things I was feeling but didn't realise until I read them.
If you havnt read this one or the other 2 volumes I highly recommend 🙌

One of the best books I’ve read about healing & trauma. Especially going through some hardshipss/ trauma personally. This book will hit you in the right spots. Letting you know you’re not alone, you’re being heard, etc. I’ve cried a few times on some of the excerpts, because it felt like I was being seen. Like she was telling me in person. Even though our time clocks are different, we all experience the same hardships in different ways. Definitely a 100/100 recommend.

I really enjoyed reading this, I flew through it. It was nice to read a few things that put my feelings into words, although not all of it was relative, it was interesting to see new perspective.
It was so nice to read things that made perfect sense of things I hadn’t quite realised before, but reading it in black and white clarified a few things for me, it was refreshing.
I’d recommend this to anyone going through something that is hard to articulate.

Well done Sara. Another amazing book.
I wish I could crawl inside this book and wrap myself in its words.
Just like previous volumes, the words are so relatable. I find myself feeling so seen and heard and so not alone!
I find myself bookmarking certain pages, knowing I will go back and reread in times of need.
Beautiful book
100% recommend!

I love the messages in this book are about selflove, self acceptance and selfcare. If you have been recently through a breakup this book will heal your soul and help you understand yourself better. I felt really identified when reading it because it is clearly made by and for empath souls like me. Love the details of the author selecting her fav poems. ❣️

I’ve never been much of a poetry person, but the realness of this book made me look forward to reading it nightly. I made sure to limit how many pages I read a night so I could process memories and feelings that the book conjured up. It was a beautiful read, and I’m looking forward to giving the other volumes a try.

April 20, 2023I loved this book so much, I related to almost every single page, it takes a lot of courage and growth to find yourself and to write about it so other people can read it, everything was written with perfect flow, some of the bits really got me thinking and seeing a new perspective on different topics, it was heart felt and raw, I definitely recommend this book

This book was really relatable and you can learn so much from it. As someone who likes to learn about other people this book really pique my interest. I would suggest this to my friends.

Somehow MoonSoulChild reaches deep into the depths of my soul and connects to those hidden feelings. Trudging through the journey of healing is never easy, however we are reminded that we are not alone in these feelings perfectly crafted by the author.

I LOVE Her poems ❤️ so good!!!!
April 28, 2023
Moonsoulchild is one of my MOST favorite authors. This book was full of so much inspiration that allowed me to view myself in a different perspective. Her poetic words are just full of emotion that are so moving. This is a great read if you want to dive into yourself deeper. Let her words take you out of those hurt places in your mind and heart ❤️

Read this book at the right moment. It felt so personal and so relatable. The emotions and thought that was put into the writing is indescribable. As stated from the get go: prepare for an emotional roller coaster. Glad for that heads up- I was in tears , smiling, and feeling emotions that I have inside of me due to personal circumstances.
Thank you for your wonderful words and showing us vulnerability and giving hope and knowing we’re not alone.

This book is a MUST HAVE. I have never related to poetry as much as i did with this book. If you’re looking for words the perfectly describe how you’re feelin, then this is the book you need.
April 5, 2023
This book has helped and moved me a lot, I have connected so much with what it says, I did not think I needed to read those words before to free myself a little emotionally, it simply helped me to better understand my learning process in relationships and in life in general, thanks to what she has written in this book I was able to let go of the past more and learn to love myself more before I even try to love someone else. It has helped me heal parts I did not even think I should heal, I definitely recommend it.

This book is absolutely beautiful. I have been going through a lot of life changes recently and I needed to read the beautiful side of things but also learn the hard truths we never want to accept. This book embodies both and it’s amazing. Absolutely love love love.

Almost speechless. Absolutely adored this book. Some passages touched me so deeply I had to re-read immediately....and I know I will be reading this book many many times. Just so relevant in so many aspects of my life and the way my mind works. It truly helped me view situations in a different way and most importantly encouraged me to be kinder to myself. It genuinely touched me on a soulful level. Sometimes I have so much to say I literally don't know where to start, and this is one of them....
Beautiful.
Beautiful.

Reading this book has breathed life into me after getting out of a relationship filled with gaslighting, financial abuse, and possessiveness. It's reminded me I am no one's possession and that I was never broken. My mom would make me feel I was and it's something that I was never able to break free from. I really recommend this book if you've been struggling with healing your inner child or even if you got out of a bad relationship. I've been living my life more peacefully now and am looking forward to reading the whole trilogy one day. 🫶🏽❤️

This book is a beautiful tribute to loss, grief, to old and new versions of ourselves, to painful growth. You feel the intimacy and the vulnerability of each page, and if you're currently heartbroken, you will relate to every word.
You feel the heartache that is poetically portrayed. The intensity of each line is incredible. It shakes your core. It shatters your heart, but it rebuilds it with a refreshing perspective. I cried every day that I read this book and it's just what I needed. The author beautifully expressed feelings that I knew I had, but couldn't get out or didn't have the right combination of words to.
Seriously, if you're grieving the loss of a relationship. Whether you were the one to walk away, or the one left behind. Read this. It will give you a brand new perspective of self-love; of how to love and be loved.
If you're an empath, you will absolutely relate and enjoy this book. You will cry. The sense of validation and visibility in this book is like a hug for our soul. Add this to your 2023 reading list!!!

This book is a MUST buy. I wasn’t expecting to relate to someone so much. Everything that was written was things I relate to so well. It’s funny how someone you don’t know could live a similar life or have similar feelings. There was so much that was said that described me perfectly & how I felt in moments in my life. Many great lines that will stick with me forever. Great quotes that I will repeat so I could NEVER forget. Moon you’ve done an AMAZING job writing this book & I thank you for your transparency and sharing your gift & thoughts with the collective. I’m extremely inspired after reading “I Was Never Broken.” I think everyone should take a chance & read it because I feel it’s something we all can relate to. It’s like Moon was reading my mind & felt the things I’ve felt. I highly recommend this book! Thank you for gracing us with a wonderful piece.

I got the chance to read this book and it was a journey full of emotions. Some poems made me feel warm and cozy, some encouraged my growth on the path I chose, some made my eyes teary. Moonsoulchild’s poems cut very deep and describe in precision the feelings you probably always tried to define or name but couldn’t. This book provides comfort, healing and understanding. I am sure anyone who ever went through a heartbreak, been abandoned by their partner or decided to move on will find many relatable poems. I loved messages the poems carry: they inspire you to be authentic, they motivate you to prioritise self love and healing before you go aimlessly loving others and they uplift your spirit by making you aware that you don’t have to settle for anything else than you deserve.

This poetry book was quite literally an emotional rollercoaster. But it was close to home, comforting, healing and reassuring.
It expresses the feeling of learning to love yourself and knowing your worth as a human being. It taught me that heartbreak is normal and I should be allowed to feel this way, BUT it's not the end of the road. Learning to love yourself again can be tricky, but it is possible. Many people will hurt you in your life and sometimes make you feel like you're not good enough, but someone out there will help you grow as a person. And in some cases, there will be a person out there who can help you to find yourself again, someone you thought you had lost.
I really recommend this poetry book to anyone who is trying to heal themselves emotionally and spiritually. It definitely helped me understand my feeling of heartbreak and the idea of learning to heal with someone who will help you grow as a person.

I truly recommend this book! It's more like having a support guide in your possession. It literally had something I can relate to every few pages. It really helps if your working on healing yourself. I would share quotes I'd seen on Facebook with my sister because I knew she could relate and then I got the book an was glad I did because now the more I got through it the more I found it more relatable not only for myself but helped me shed some advice to my sister on her situations. Thank you for the opportunity to understand things from not only our own perspective but to understand how you went along your healing joinery. It's not always pretty.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Having been going through so many changes and difficult times in my life at the moment, I couldn't believe how much I felt like I could relate to nearly every page. At times I even felt quite emotional reading some of the pages. I found myself going back over and rereading pages that I really related to.
I honestly feel like I have learned things from what I have read in this book and it's made me view things a little differently.
Brilliant read and would highly recommend.
