Red Flags and Commitments

by Jennifer Harris

Red Flags and Commitments is a chapbook divided into two sections dedicated to those who had their own experiences with red flags presenting themselves in relationships, followed up by commitments curated for the reader as an act of self-care and self-love.
From the poetic storytelling of how people can ignore red flags to stepping into the light of self-reflection, the collection of daily commitments to self establishes a road to creating and accepting healthy relationships while romanticizing life.
When awareness sinks in, turn to self. Romanticize your life, make that commitment to yourself and keep it.

This is book therapy. If you are currently in limbo in any type of relationship, this is a must read! If you have freshly moved on and still fighting feelings of loneliness this is also a must read! It serves as a reminder to focus on loving oneself first. It made me reflect on past failed relationships that were either romantic, friendly and/or family. Although hard they were relationships that I had to let go of for my peace. I am so thankful to be at a point in life, where I can focus on my growth.

Favorite Quote:
“I’ve always frowned upon romance. I grew fond of romance once I learned to love myself.
Romance is love
Love is liberation
Liberation is what we all crave for and seek.” p.26

When I received this book, I instantly opened it to a random page, & just that quick, it spoke to me🥺 I needed those exact words.

This book gave me the “church” feeling. I don’t attend often, but when I do, I always feel as if God feels my presence and whatever’s troubling my heart, so every lesson and message is addressed to me personally. I got this same feeling while reading this.

I found myself rereading parts that I had just read, not because I didn’t understand what was being said. It’s because it was something I needed to hear again & never forget!

It mentions disloyalty in a romantic relationship and although I lack that experience, I am familiar with feeling cheated by people who love me. So I still received the messages sis was giving. I was fighting the urge to highlight this book (which is something I don’t do). I probably would’ve ended up highlighting all 62 pages.

I needed this book for my self growth journey. This one goes on my list of books I think everyone (especially woman) should read. It’ll bring awareness to some red flags and encourage self reflection with affirmations that help promote your personal growth and build your self love, which we all can benefit from.
