Chapter on self confidence :3
I really enjoyed this chapter. My favorite poem in this section was “They’ll Always Have Something to Judge You For.”
Sometimes I feel like no matter what I say or do or how I express myself (whether it be calm or passionately), I am always seen as weird or off-putting. It’s a beautiful reminder that as long as I’m being kind with how I express myself, others can choke on me

I have to admit, I am getting bored with this book. I do enjoy some of the writings within it, but I feel like even though there are new chapters with different topics— all the poems sound the same / similar. Also I physically sigh when I see the paragraphs instead of the poems. Nothing is wrong with paragraphs— I think I’m just getting bored. But some of them are very healing and worth reading to me!

I really like these poems! There are a few I have a hard time relating to ( not every piece of art is made for me, I know ) or reading because I feel like there’s unnecessary jabs at people who choose to step away from relationships that they aren’t happy in anymore. Nonetheless, even those poems are works of art that I appreciate. Her writing is very beautiful and inspiring.

This poem reminded me of that quote/saying and is comforting to me as I’ve always been labeled as “too dramatic” or “too sensitive,” “too much,” by pretty much all the adults in my life as a child and people today who benefit from me being sensitive (a good listener and able to hear their pain out / let them express their pain), but also label me as being too sensitive (when I bring something up to them they’ve done that hurt me). Just food for thought for me a little bit of reflection!
