These Are the Words by Nikita Gill

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I'm still waiting on the day where Nikita Gill produces something less than amazing. I could read her poetry all day, every day. These are the words had tears in my eyes by the end - I never felt more seen than when I read Gill's collections! The stories of friendship and sisterhood were just so beautiful, but also examining toxic families and learning to love yourself, learning that you don't have to be strong all the time or fall into the trap of toxic positivity. I just love this collection with my whole heart.
