Feelings Stayed
This collection was born of many sleepless, tearful, desperate nights and years of pining after boys who never even thought about me (I think). I know from journaling about other problems I've worked through that organizing my feelings and vocalizing them and seeing them on paper might help me understand and "get over" them. This journaling always turned into something lyrical and expressive; sometimes it allowed me to revel, sometimes to stew in those feelings. The tears continued for quite a while, but I never seemed to run out of things to say about "him".
I thought maybe if someone could read all the things I was feeling, I would feel heard and validated enough to put it to rest. Be that the case or not, it is at rest, and I hope this collection can give a voice to that struggle and those feelings that some of us have to crush or extract or eradicate because they can never come true.
The book about unrequited feelings - felt as love - experienced as pain. Really let yourself wallow in it for this one.
N.B. I personally process all shipping and handling (in terms of who might be seeing your shipping info) - I never see any credit card or payment info. I'm not currently able to process returns, but I will work on getting that up and running!
