THE BOOK I WROTE THAT SAVED MY LIFE

by Robert M. Drake

The first person who breaks your heart will always teach you the importance of love. 1. People come and go and only a handful of them are willing to stay. So it is best to give them your promises. 2. You have to go through pain every once in a while. That’s how it works. Pain is inevitable. Pain is relative. Pain brings people closer together. So it is best to give the people you love your sorrow. They will make flowers out of them. Believe it. And3. Somewhere down the line a revelation will hit you like a comet and when it does you will think of the first time you got your heart broken. And the second and maybe even the third. And you will finally realize the importance of it all. And you will thank them for the experiences. And you will finally bring down your walls and learn how to move on. How to forgive. How to properly heal. And you will do all of these marvelous things but also, you will never forget the way they once made you feel. You will never forget the slow burn that brokenness brings. And you will remind yourself of it every now and then... and you will do so to remember the importance of letting go and etc. To remember why you should never search for love in the same place you lost it. Why you should never search for love in the same place where it left you broken. That’s the importance of love. Of going through it—to have it and cherish it… but also, to not fall victim to the same people and tragedies that made you feel even more alone. To not fall victim to all things that covered up the sun. Those lessons are valuable, therefore, it is best to learn as much as you can and love as much as you're willing to get hurt. Stay strong.

Perfect for self love or getting through a rough breakup.

[Charlotte Ewing · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was good, but it got great towards the end of the anthology. Themes include: letting go, inner beauty, loving yourself, lost love, healing, moving on, what you deserve....

Life Changing

I'm a huge RM Drake fan, but this is the best I've read so far. If you've been through loss, felt even glimpses of love, experienced heartbreak, and want to make sense of all the chaos. This book is for you. It's a game changer.

Most of this felt like someone was journaling and then went back to "format it like poetry". IDK. There were a few good ones in the mix, but for 500+ pages, a few wasn't really sufficient for me to really enjoy this. It passed the time, but I finished it on principle.

I absolutely adore everything he has ever written. His writing speaks to my soul in the most beautiful ways. It’s all of his best work put together in one big book! BEAUTIFUL.

I absolutely love this book! I always took it with me to read in the sauna at the gym. I loved how thick it was, and how deep the poetry was, and I always recommended it. The poetry talked about anything and everything that relates to life, and any reader would love it! ❤️ You can just flip to any random page and get completely sucked it, or flip to a random page and share it with another person. I’m definitely excited to read more of his work, and to revisit this masterpiece in the future! 6⭐️
