the moon will shine for us too
The poetry book you may need, if your darkness seems never ending. The Moon Will Shine for Us Too is the sequel toThe Sun Will Rise and So Will We.I find comfort in a full moon in the middle of autumn, the dead of winter, or after a warm summer day.But sometimes the darkness comes too early or stays too long, and the only light is in the midnight moon.Sometimes getting through hard times takes a while. Takes way longer than expected. The darkness may seem overwhelming and the light at the end of the tunnel non-existent, but The Moon Will Shine for Us Too.

I am now up to date with all of Jennae Cecelia's work and she is definitely one of my new favourite authors. I think her poetry is so powerful and motivating and will even be a comfort on the darker days. I loved the motif of nature throughout her poems, and I think each poem was so inspirational.

Just the words I needed today.
This collection comforted me so much. Actually I was under a lot of stress about so many things. Now reading this I am so grateful. I found my chill pill.
Talks about you. That’s all I want to say.

☆2.5/5 stars☆
"Today I surrender all of
my need for control.
Take me wherever the wind blows.
I promise I will not question it.
I promise I will not ask why.
I promise I want this.
I am sick of being a prisoner in my mind."
This was definitely...disappointing.
I just recently read The Sun Will Rise and So Will We and enjoyed it. This just felt like the same thing but with a new metaphor that was overused about 112 times (there's 113 poems). I found a handful of poems that stuck with me, but I didn't see the need for this sequel. It was cute and fast, but it was boring.
I most likely won't be reading from this author again.

This was deep and emotional and healing and very thought provoking 🤍
For anybody in the healing era, or if he needs a reminder that they are okay and it is okay to struggle and to take time for yourself, this is definitely the poetry book for you
This made me really think about how I treat myself & it was beautiful in a kind of sad but also reflective and uplifting way 🕊️

A pleasant collection of poems; I read this immediately after finishing The Sun Will Rise and So Will We which I enjoyed slightly more than this.
I always like the simple and hopeful optimism of this writers work. Her words are intimate, revealing and mindful. As someone relatively new to the poetry world, it is comforting to take a book like this and get lost in the words for a short time; especially when you come across one or two that really resonate with you on a personal level.

structuring a sentence
like this
does not mean it’s poetry
in all seriousness I don’t want to fully yuck someone else’s yum because I can see how for a certain demographic this would be comforting or enjoyable and though I didn’t find value in it I can see that many people would.
however - it isn’t poetry!! if this was marketed as a little book of affirmations or inspirational quotes I would have much less of a problem with it (I wouldn’t have picked it up, for starters, since I am not the target audience)

“I hope this year brings laughs that make your stomach hurt and smiles that leave wrinkles around your eyes. I hope this year you take the steps to find what YOUR happiness is. I hope this year you take the world by surprise.” There were so many amazing poems in this book. I also think this was a sweet book to read when going through a time of transition. I appreciated these different pieces of wisdom and I can’t wait to see the person I become in the next few months.

genuinely wouldn’t have a problem with this book if it wasn’t advertised as poetry as it felt more like short inspirational base-level quotes than poetry.

Refreshing. I am always extremely harsh with modern poetry but in this collection you could actually see effort and passion.
Punctuation was used! That’s so rare.
It wasn’t as shallow as the other collection as well.
While this still isn’t to my taste I enjoyed it and can recommend it to others.

I love this poet but this wasnt really my vibe. I think
this would an awesome rec for beginner poetry readers who want to explore more of the genre. Its good, hopeful, clean and short.

This was a really quick read to end my day with as I enjoyed the first poetry book but the sequel really didn’t stand out to me outside of a poem or two.

beautiful poetry but it would have resonated more with the sadder version of my soul that I’ve worked too hard to heal.

motivating and inspirational quotes, but this is not poetry…

“Sometimes being unsure while you move is the only way to start getting somewhere. Imagine if we all waited until we were perfectly ready to show up. If we all waited until we were not scared. / “Today you are one step closer to where you want to go, while being okay with the fact that it comes with a lot of unknowns.” / “I do not know why I make things so hard when I have come this far. Why can I not stick to the task? Why can I not leave things in the past? Why must my mind wander to all the places I no longer want to visit? I am tired of getting so far only for one thing to push me back in an instance.”
“And by 10 AM my procrastination settles in. And by 10 PM I regret all the things I never did. Tomorrow feels heavy because of the small tasks I put off. But I know it and I keep doing it. Why can’t I stop?”
“You are allowed to feel whatever emotions arise in a season when uncertainty is at an all-time high.“
“Stopping will guarantee never getting there, but moving with hope has beautiful possibilities.”
“When you feel like sadness has made itself a home in you, remember you cannot truly welcome in happiness without sadness knocking sometimes too.”
“Maybe today you are wondering why all of these things are happening by surprise. No warning bells. No signs. But maybe it has to be a surprise to get you to rise.”
“Lately it feels like I am stepping outside with no opportunity to know what the weather holds. Do I need an umbrella to keep me dry, from my tears and the sky? Lack of knowledge. Lack of control. Things that do not go well with an anxious soul.”
“Maybe no one has told you, but we all have a dark side to our moon and nothing about that makes you less of a person. Nothing about that makes you horrible. Nothing about that is wrong. We all have things we don’t want to be known or shown. You are not alone in your darkness.”
“I am the person who orders the same coffee drink every day, but also stares at the menu every day thinking today may be the day I make a change. But then I think about how changing my drink may change my whole day. May change my mood. Being spontaneous is hard when you have anxiety. Even when it is just trying to decide between switching up simple things like iced or hot. Or do I want to add on food or not.”
“Maybe you have said you will start today every day for the last year. And you are beating yourself up each day for not following through. But look at you. A whole year later still showing up with the eagerness to grow. Now think about what that persistence could manifest into, if you follow through and let go.”
“I will point out every full moon or colorful sunrise. I will never take for granted again the beauty of what I thought were the simple things in my life.”
“And at the end of the day all you are left with is you. Do you love that person? Do you tell them you do? What a hard life it will be if you are enemies with someone you cannot leave.”
“You tell me that I am brave, but I am not. I have just gotten good at walking through messy places while pretending to smile. I have done this a lot.”
“Come back to me when all of the worries you have come true. Odds are, I will never see you. I cannot tell you to keep going while I drag behind. I cannot keep being the motivator. I cannot keep being the light.”
“You do not owe anyone anything. You are allowed to show up however you please. This is not about them. It is okay if they disagree.”
“Moving forward with hope will only lead to places you once thought you could never go. Moving forward at all will get you at least somewhere closer to where you want to know.“
“Rumors spread that you changed. That you are no longer like who you were yesterday. If those rumors spread, do not worry what they say about you. You changed into someone you always wanted to be, and they no longer fit into your story like they want to.”
“Just imagine if life only keeps getting better from here. Oh, the stories you will be able to tell. Oh, the amount of times you must have faced your fears.”
“You made it way too far to give up now. To turn around. Do not go back towards where you came from, because I do not think you will want what you think may be back there. Things changed. You changed. It no longer fits you. It is not your place. It is not the same.”
“I will meet you one year from now in the park for coffee. I cannot wait to hear how much things have changed. I cannot wait to tell you all that the year taught me.”
“Maybe one day you will look back and say, "that was the year that got me here." Right now, it may be hard to see as things get canceled and there is no guarantee. But one day it could be so obvious why it needed to happen. One day it will all make sense even though right now, being mad seems like the only reasonable reaction.”
“The unexpected paths are okay. In fact, sometimes they are even better. So I am walking barefoot through wildflowers ready to embrace it all. Ready for any weather.”

Poetry is life.
ENJOY!
And while every-
thing else
seems to change,
I find comfort in
the sun rising
and setting
the same.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have come too far
to let your opinion
of me
scare me into going
back to what felt safe for
you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stopping will
guarantee
never getting there,
but moving with
hope
has beautiful
possibilities.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and soon you feel
like
you gained YOUR
happiness back
and not the hap-
piness you put
into other people.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found beauty here
in the midnight
moon.
A chance to recharge.
A chance to quietly
bloom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I cannot tell you
to keep going
while I drag
behind.
I cannot keep
being the motivator.
I cannot keep
being the light.
Sometimes
I need my own
cheerleader.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If your younger self
was sitting across
from you today,
would you try to
make them proud
or would you push
them away?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You do not owe any-
one anything.
You are allowed to
show up
however you please.
This is not about
them.
It is okay if they disagree.

"If your younger self
was sitting across from you today,
would you try to make them proud
or would you push them away?"
I don’t read much in English. Similarly, I don’t write in English. But this time, for a reason I can’t quite explain, I thought, "The title seems cool, a bit simplistic, let’s give it a go," and then there I was, with the book in my hands. I read it without much expectation. There’s something profoundly unfair about people who have studied literature: they believe there is only one true literature—classic literature. Outside of that, everything else is just archaic chatter with no real importance. But through this book, I’ve come to understand its significance, even if only slightly. The lexical fields of darkness (depression) and light (resilience). This idea of not being too hard on oneself.
"There is no such thing
as a happy ending.
Just a happy chapter.
With each page turned,
a new story begins.
Happiness and sadness
are not places you fully land."
So, in this collection, it’s as if we are finally accepting the realities that befall us. You might say, "Marcus Aurelius already talked about this." Yes, in his time, when things were different. Today, everything has changed. The figures of representation have too. The ancients don’t disappear! They are simply accompanied by new figures, that’s all.

Book 21 of 2024: The Moon Will Shine For Us Too - Jennae Cecelia
A collection of poems centred around hardship and looking for the positives in life.
Review:
⭐️ 2/5
The new wave of Instagram poetry isn’t really doing it for me. As nice as some of these “poems” are, they feel more like short motivational quotes and not poems. If this is your sort of thing and you don’t mind re-reading the same content over and over then you’ll enjoy it - sadly I think all of the poems nowadays are variations of the same ideas.

Zunächst: Die Druck- und Papierqualität der Amazon-Version ist wirklich unterirdisch. Wenn es schlimm genug ist, um es in der Review zu erwähnen, ist es wirklich schlecht.
Aber das ist nicht der einzige Grund für die zwei Sterne. Die Lyrik geht, trotz meines geliebten Mond-Motivs, nie über Offensichtlichkeiten hinaus. Ja, der Mond geht auf und manchmal wieder unter. Und manchmal ist zwischendrin Sonne. Es hat die Energie von oberflächlichen ✨Hopecore✨-Zitaten vor zart geblümtem Hintergrund mit sehr trauriger, aber inspirativer Piano-Begleitung. Bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass ich diese oder ähnliche (latent sich selbst überhöhende) Plattitüden schon tausendmal auf Tiktok gesehen habe.
Aber nur, weil ich keinen Trost darin finde, ist nicht direkt alles schlecht. Als kleine Affirmationen oder Motivationssprüche mit Nachthimmel-Motiv können sie mit dir vielleicht mehr resonieren als mit mir.

There is comfort in darkness. That seems to be the theme of this poetry collection. The motives of stars, night and the moon repeat throughout the verses, but in general, this is a very straight-forward approach to poetry. More than a bouquet of sentiments or metaphors, the seperate poems are single flowers, each with their own distinct purpose and visual idea that is rather repeated than toyed around with. It might appear simple at first glance, but the heartfelt advice and appreciation, the motivational tone to all of this, was just what I needed when reading it today. This is not a study on language or a show-off of philosophical observations, it is the honest, friendly, approachable, hopeful message from the author to us readers and I really enjoyed it.

This is yet another beautiful and heartfelt collection of poems from Jennae Cecelia! These poems were exactly what I needed right now, as they were reminders that even in darkness we can find light, that we need to be kind to ourselves in the hard times, and that eventually we will feel like ourselves again. Whenever I’m struggling, I know I can always turn to one of Jennae Cecelia’s collections to remind me that I will be okay and that I can make it through the challenges I’m facing. Plus, her collections are short and to the point, which makes them a quick but fulfilling read. I highly recommend this one, especially if you’re in a dark period in your life and wondering if it’ll ever end (reminder: it will).

Today I surrender all of my need for control
Take me wherever the wind blows
I promise I will not question it
I promise I will not ask why
I promise I want this
I am sick of being a prisoner in my mind
I will no longer allow myself
to mask my pain,
hide my ache,
ignore warning signs
from my brain.
It is time to recognize
when I need a break,
and not feel guilty
or less than
That has been
my biggest mistake
Maybe one day
you will look back and say,
"that was the year that got me here."
Right now, it may be hard to see
as things get canceled
and there is no guarantee
But one day it could be so obvious
why it needed to happen
One day it will all make sense
even though right now,
being mad seems like
the only reasonable reaction

the poems in this book let you reflect on your successes and struggles, and how they brought you to the place you are currently at. these words encourage you to look forward to the future that will undoubtedly be filled with more turmoil, but will ultimately be worth it when you can eventually look back at everything that inspired personal growth. love is an understatement.
