Live Through This

I picked this book from my intuition yet again. I thought self-destruction through a lense of self-improvement was an interesting concept and I wrote a poem about it.

This book contains voices of experienced and now old women writers. It is a piece to encourage girls to write, share and have compassion for their mental health and wellbeing.

It was a bit of a mixed bag for me because I loved some of the writers and how they were introspective and viewed their experiences through a psychological lense. It made me understand their pain and it was the kind of thing I was looking for and resonated with me. Some were more artistic and more poetic and were more interested in just telling what happened. There is no wrong way to tell these and there was diversity and you could hear how they all came from different places, but some of these really did not resonate with me and that's okay.

I will probably look into some of the authors' other books though not sure when. I really like this book as a concept and wonder if there are any like these in my country.
