First review for this book. Pressure is filling within me as the first reviewer to set the tone for the proceeding reviews. I’m writing a first review for a book and I’m making a much bigger deal out of it than the average person would. This book is made for people like me. Please read.

Quotes that hold so much truth:
One of the most impactful things we can do to move forward is to accept who people are and stop rewriting their personalities. Stop rewriting their intentions. Stop rewriting their hearts. We tend to have such difficulty accepting that someone doesn’t belong in our life and that they may be the cause of our pain because we lie to ourselves about the effect they have on us. Our optimism pushes us to believe the best in them at the expense of our own wellbeing. We know that acknowledging who they are will be the first step in letting them go and that is scary. So we hang on. To who we wish they were, to how we wish they made us feel, and to what we thought they were before we knew them better. We delay the pain of the goodbye. And when we delay it, we compound it. It’s time to stop rewriting people and simply read them as they are.
_________
I’m sorry you had to beg for the bare minimum. I’m sorry you never came first. I’m sorry you feel used. I’m sorry for all of it.
______
One day soon, you will realize that you are not a broken soul. You will not feel split in two forever. You will heal, flower, and rebuild. You will create something beautiful out of each season of heartache. You will feel whole again.

last couple of months i’ve been reading same kind of healing journey books. most felt like same type of recycled but this one was a bit different. i’m going through a lot right now and this made me cry a little. in my opinion, it’s good and not the instagram type of quotes again and again. would recommend if you’re going through some rough times in life and trying to start your healing journey. would give you a little boost, you’re not alone :)

A beautiful work on healing from trauma and heartache. I can absolutely see this being a book I come back to every few years as a reminder of the healing I've done.
Some of my favourite excerpts:
"... We must remember that another person breaking us does not mean we have to break ourselves. We do not have to take the pain they've inflicted upon us and amplify it ..." (p. 27)
"... Watching yourself grow from hurt and pain and not only recover, but flourish will leave you with an unshakable faith in yourself." (p. 44)
" ... You don't have to feel that what didn't kill you made you stronger. You are stronger because of what you are made of, and the people and situations that have hurt you do not deserve any of the credit ..." (p. 67)
"You are not the sum of your heartbreaks. You are not a quilt sewn together from pieces of the people who have hurt you ... Your heartbreaks have happened to you, but they are not you ... You are the summation of every time you have risen. You are the totality of each and every time you have chosen to take a step up and step forward after falling ..." (p. 84)

there were some good quotes and even a few poems i flagged, but most of it felt like instagram poetry. i didn’t resonate with this as deeply (as a whole) compared to other poetry books ive read

Who will ever know that I'm going to read this book? It's something I never imagined I'd do, as I once believed that a book on self-forgiveness, self-acceptance, and self-love held no place in my life. I used to think it was boring, dismissing it as a "depressed" book with no value. But here I am, finding myself in need of it more than I ever thought I would. It's a transformation I never expected, and I'm now embracing the opportunity to explore the profound beauty within the pages of this book, which can guide me on a path to self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
A few weeks ago, I was navigating through some incredibly challenging times, desperately seeking solace in the form of a comforting book. It was during this trying period that a friend recommended this particular book to me. As I began to read it, I found myself drawn into its pages, absorbing its wisdom and insights one by one. Surprisingly, it had an instant and profound calming effect on my soul, like a soothing balm for my wounded spirit. I was so moved by the book's profound message that I started annotating each word that spoke directly to my heart, each sentence that had the power to heal me. I'm genuinely impressed by the transformative impact this book has had on my life.
This book may appear simple, with just a few sentences on each page, but within their brevity lies a powerful message that truly resonates and brings profound healing. This collection of books marked my initial encounter with Thought Catalog's offerings, and I can confidently say it won't be my last. I already bought several copies from different collection.
Finally, let me share one of my absolute favorites from this book, that I think it should be acknowledged by everyone.
“Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for the ways you’ve hurt yourself, and the ways you’ve let others hurt you too. Forgive yourself for not knowing better, not doing better, not being better. Forgive yourself for letting people who were wrong stay too long and take too much. Forgive yourself for not knowing how much love you deserved, how strong you can be, and what splendor you are. Forgive yourself for not seeking what should be yours because you didn’t believe it could be yours. Forgive yourself for judging your tears, your pain, your grief. Forgive yourself for constantly going back to the ones who made your life darker and overlooking how much you truly are worth. Forgive yourself for putting everyone else above you and putting yourself last. Forgive yourself for not celebrating every form of yourself that was a stepping stone to who you are today.”

Such a gem. I read this collection with pencil in hand so that I could star the pages of my favorite poems and underline my favorite passages. I shared several poems and lines with family and I'm looking forward to sharing them with friends.
This book deals primarily with the pain that comes from being in a toxic relationship, but I think the words of understanding and affirmation are comforting regardless of what we're going through. The author says things like: "Treat yourself with gentleness, the way you wish others would," and she describes the importance of looking at not only the words, but the actions of someone who says "I love you." She says, "isolate the words and see if they move in unison with how the person treats us. There's so much more to love than words. There's how they hold you on your hard days. And how they celebrate you on the good ones."
There is a (perhaps overly) strong emphasis on the self, but as someone who has struggled with depression, I liked the reminder that "We get to choose what narrative plays in our minds and which words we fill our heads with. In the same way that we long for others to speak kindly to us, we can make the choice to speak kindly to ourselves." Also: "The relationship that will have the biggest impact on your life is the one you have with yourself."
The author describes the changing nature of the self and what healthy relationships should look like: "The right one will want to see you grow... The right one will feel like home. The right one will be comfort. The right one will be safety. The right one will want to sit by your side and watch you unfold."
While the book talks about how healing can invite good relationships into our lives, I wish the self-reliance was a bit more balanced with the strength found in connecting with others and the world around us. Overall though, I enjoyed this book and am keeping it close so that I can reread it and share it with others.

Before, I used to think that some of the daily inspirational articles were not worth spending time to read. These are all well-known things. However, words are really powerful. During a long period of self-hatred, I needed to repeatedly see these words. They seem to have made flowers bloom in the barren places of my heart.

This is by far my #1 favorite book this year I have read & loved.

It truly is a gem 💎 of a book to have.

Really enjoyed this book while on a “healing” journey. There were many times I would screenshot and highlight pages so I can reference later. It is a beautiful piece of writing that affirms you are enough and worthy.

Beautiful poems and passages.
In truth, I have not finished reading through this short book. I prefer to keep it by my bedside, opening it to the next page whenever I feel a little tug to do so. Often times the wisdom within the author's words resonate very well.

Essential read for those healing
Parm K.C.’s poems often leave me in reflection. She has such a beautiful way of conveying the good, the bad, and the ugly moments of life. This book has helped me see there’s always light at the end of what seems like a relentless, dark tunnel.

Great Read
This was a great read and it provided a lot of interesting perspectives on navigating the end of relationships while focusing on self-love. I definitely recommend this.
