"That's what building safe, supportive relationships looks like. It's not about perfection, for that doesn't exist. It's about authentic presence that doesn't punish you for being real." (Hartson 255) At this point in my book the author is talking about rebuilding trusting relationships. While I was reading it became clear how much it effected me as I am navigating to find my closest friends this year.

Healing Isn't Pretty By Mira Hartson is a book about finding your true self and learning to be okay with the person you are now. Mira Hartson talks about different topics of learning to be okay with the person you are right now, knowing when you have done enough for others and when to start doing more for yourself. As soon as the I started reading this book, I knew right away that I would enjoy it and I was right.

Hi Peyton! I love how you connected the idea of authentic presence to your own experience with friendships. I think it is so interesting how books can reflect your own challenges, especially when building trust. How do you think this idea might change how you build trust in your relationships moving forward?

Hi Payton! I totally agree with how you feel. Friends can be really hard and difficult to see who they truly are. I wonder if your main character will fully heal by the end of the book.
