ok, i have no problem by michelle louise

emotional sad

5.0

I'm not normally someone who reads poetry. I tried once when I was 16-ish and just couldn't connect to popular poetry books. To me it just felt like random words without a story. But then I saw Michelle wrote this and I just KNEW I had to get it. I've followed her for a few years now and really admire her. She seems like an amazing and kindhearted person and is also incredibly talented. Even if I wasn't going to end up reading it, I wanted to support her - but I was also very curious so knew that I would read it.

And wow, did I love this. Michelle has a beautiful writing style that truly makes you feel her emotions. Even if I didn't relate to something, I could feel it, and I found myself holding my breath. 

I've never had my heart broken before, I think, but reading this definitely felt close to it.

It is a beautiful way to tell a heartbreaking story of love and self acceptance and the reality that life isn't a fairytale. 

It's also very brave. I've often thought about writing about my own pain but never dared to. It is incredible that Michelle did not only write this, but also published it and let other people read her thoughts and feelings. 

Of course, the book also had fantastic illustrations, but that's a given when it's made by Magic & Books (aka my favorite webshow ever, I am in love with every fox-themed thing Michelle makes and eagerly collect them all.)

Michelle, we don't know each other very well, but I am sending you virtual hugs. You are an amazing and talented person. Thank you for telling us your story ❤️
