permission to feel

Product Information

I’m realizing that putting words to feelings is scary. validating and allowing yourself to be validated is scary. life is scary. God, this book arrived to me in the right moment. The author describes everything so easy, just the way it is and the way I write stuff on my notes app at 3am. Is it sometimes sort of trying too hard? I wouldn’t say so. I insist, this is the way we all want to express our bottled up feelings in our phones, but we always end up by shutting down the phone because it never makes sense. this is the story of a girl who fell in love with her best friend- who then rejected her. so the girl spent the summer working on herself and exploring her sexuality…and then the friend confessed her love to the girl and then they took a chance on ruining their friendship to experience (potentially) what their love story could feel like. and now, the former best f; riends are queer lovers: navigating the ins and outs of being a queer couple and being in love. I don’t want to be anywhere aleyah is not. I have started to look for her in crowds. hoping that she will turn the corner. I dress to impress her. I hope that she notices the little details of my outfit and when I play with my lips. I get jealous when she talks about other girls, but I don’t feel like I will ever be enough for her. It's always hard to comment on the works of women and more so lesbian being a straight man, however, I connect on the poetic level and I appreciate the author's journey through words. I recommend this collection to anybody battling with sexual identity. You may be shown that it's ok to be who you are and end up in a good place with the right person.

Caution: the subject matter discussed in this book may be too intense or disturbing for some of the book’s readers. These include the following: peak, then we slowly lose the gift of feeling. so we need to be better about embracing it all, seeing, feeling, and experiencing as much as we can… until we can’t. additionally, the content in this book is intended for a mature audience. this book discusses sex explicitly and often. please do not read if you are not mature enough to digest the sexual content (notice how I didn’t write an age, if you are a full-grown adult who is embarrassed by sexual content, please put this book down and do some introspection). As one queer poet to another, this is an absolutely beautiful collection of poetry. I love the way that this book takes you from being friends with someone to slowly falling in love and being happy in your relationship. I love the way that the author unapologetically talks about sexuality. Definitely a good read! this is for you. in the moments you spent curled up in a ball on the floor of the shower, waiting for your lungs to catch up with your need for oxygen. on the nights when all that you felt was sadness, when even being numb was too hard. on the nights you felt so unimaginably alone, so disconnected from yourself. on the nights you needed to be held, but laid on the cold floor instead. on the nights when your only companion was the pain in the voices of those who sang the sad songs ringing through your headphones.I am tired of letting fear control my life. I am not my fears. I am terrified of so many things. and it is debilitating. love. love. love. let love overpower fear. let yourself love and be loved enough to no longer be afraid. It has beautiful poetry that warms your heart. It's a good one for everyone dealing with sexuality and societal issues with love. Everyone should know that they deserve love and are loved.

I’m sorry that I let you treat me like you did -like I owed you something. I’m sorry that you were what I thought I needed. thank you for showing me that I don’t need you. that you were never the one. I spent so many hours wondering if I had made a mistake letting you go. I was blinded by the butterflies and familiarity. I hope it comforts you to know that I found someone that treats me right. someone that respects and cares about me with all that she is. I hope you find happiness too. we learned a lot from each other. I learned how to value myself and what love doesn’t feel like. I used to wonder when we would be done kissing. I don’t do that anymore. I’m sorry that I didn’t give you clarity, I was too busy giving it to myself. I hope this letter finds you, in the stars or in a laugh or in a song that reminds you of me. that is all the closure I can provide.i got this book because tiktok would not stop giving me videos about the poems and what it is about. with it being about friends falling out and then becoming loves, i related to this. i annotated this for my girlfriend and it was so easy to annotate the relatable content.
