It was very reflective for me. As a 20 year old woman, this poem in particular really resonated with me:
“And so you’re nineteen lying in your bedroom, eyes damp and breaths heavy, wondering why love hasn’t swung your way. Although you know young love is just false hope, you still crave to be wanted by another heartbeat. Your name on someone else’s lips and spoken softly in your ear. But there is this vast void between now and then that terrifies you deep down to your bones. Background noise becomes haunting thoughts. The idea that you won’t ever be wanted. You won’t find someone who will unconditionally love you. You might never feel reciprocated love. So you sit there in the shades of grey and pray that one day your thoughts will be proven wrong. Until then you dream endless fantasies of how it would be. You drape your arms over your ghost and dance the night away. You lie in bed and stare at the vacant spot next to you and whisper conversations you wish to have. Because it’s the closest thing you have to what you so desperately want and even though it only blackens the void more, you’re addicted to the feeling of being loved. If only it were real… “
I really enjoyed this book. I recommend for all young women ❤️
