This book is incredibly exhausting. Why I chose today to finish it, I can pretend I dont know, but it's because if I didnt push through the pain and hurt and questions....when would I?

These essays are amazing. They each have a life of their own, and they each made me feel something so deep. It's not an easy read. It shouldn't be. But if you need to not feel alone? Its here.
