HONOR: Healing the Trauma of Suicide, Self-Harm, and Body Dysmorphia
If you're a fan of Healing Words by Alexandra Vasiliu or Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, then this poem collection is for you! C. S. Phoenix's striking vulnerability and heartfelt compassion will nestle into your soul and plant the seeds of self-love you need to make peace with your past, embrace your present strength, and empower your unlimited future.
Honor is a shining You are not alone. You are worthy.
When I was young, I felt completely alone. I thought that no one could understand how I felt, as no one else had been through the same horrors as me. I was alone in my pain, and the solitude only made it hurt more.
Luckily for me - and unfortunately for many others - I was wrong. As I grew, I realized that my experiences were not as rare as I once thought. Many people shared similar experiences, and many shared my pain. It was when I realized that I was not alone that I finally found a way to begin to heal.
As I healed, a new pain grew. It was the painful realization that too many people have yet to discover that they are not alone. Now, I will share my stories. Honor is a collection of poems written for those who feel like they are the only ones, the people who feel like no one could possibly understand.
There is life on the other side of your pain, and it is beautiful.

Phoenix's writing is so good. I felt and understood every word she wrote. There were many times I cried while reading this. Took me around 30 minutes to read.

This was a powerful poetry collection that touched me at my core. I've struggled with eating disorders and self harm for a good chunk of my life. I've struggled with self-acceptance for so long, I almost can't remember what life was like before it. Not only that, but I felt seen, and less alone as I worked my way through this book, and at times I teared up while reading it. Furthermore, I know I'll re-read it many times in the years to come, I loved it so much. I cannot recommend this enough for anyone who is struggling to love themselves, or wants to better understand a loved one who is.
