Behind Glass Shadows

Omg, Such amazing work. This book hit really close to home. I would 100% recommend!!! I loved it so much.

I discovered Julia Reesor’s work through my FYP on TikTok. Let me tell you, that TikTok algorithm really knows what’s up! I made the decision to go no contact with the majority of my family about three years ago. It's been a journey filled with complex emotions: the guilt society imposes with phrases like 'but that’s your mom,' the struggle with feeling undeserving because my wants weren't met and my boundaries weren't respected, and the challenge of distinguishing my own voice from the one in my head (among many other things). All of this to say, Julia Reesor's poetry collection resonated deeply with me. I found it incredibly relatable, to the point where I highlighted entire poems and multiple lines from others.

I’m honestly not sure how i feel about this book. It was haunting, sad poetry about the trauma people can experience yes, but it also talked about how it’s okay to accept that you’ll never heal, when in reality, we will heal. Not like we were before, but we will. It’s a morbid thought that we don’t want to, and should accept our not healing. I reccomend this book, but please make sure you are in the right mindset to read it ~

Har läst författarens första bok och blev fullkomligt förälskad i den så var absolut 110% tvungen att köpa denna. Blev förälskad på nytt! Författaren har träffat mina känslor på pricken! Det är skönt att kunna läsa någon annans upplevelser medans man själv bearbetar med sitt. Rekommenderar varmt, blir du missnöjd så är du knasig🤭
