• Sour

  

  It still makes me sad that you never wanted me as much as I did you, I did all of the right things, brought you into my fold, So openly and with deep affection, Why wasn’t I good enough? Knowing what I have to offer, what about me didn’t suit? I was myself, I let…

• Book Review: Yellow Wife

  Instagram really got me good on this one, after constantly seeing this book on my feed at the back end of 2021, beginning of 2022 I thought why not give it a try. Must be gathering traction for a good reason, and if I’m being honest in some ways it disappointed. This week on the…

• There Used To Be A Time

  There used to be a time when being alone bothered me, When the silence surrounding me, rang loudly in my ears, There used to be a time when I needed to feel needed, wanted even,When words of affection brought surges of joy, but I have come to realize words without actions are empty, There used…

• The Things We Don’t Say

  

  I often wonder about the things that swirl in our minds, The ones we’re too scared to say out loudNot so much the secrets, but the vulnerabilities,The things we wish we could formulate words with ease,The ball of internal anxiety, The well of self-doubt,The tangible fear of rejection, Now what would we do if we…

• Book Review: The Kite Runner

  I’m going to say it before you do- what rock have I been hiding underneath that I haven’t read this book much sooner than now. But, here we are and I have finally taken the plunge and bought the book (R2 read this book in High School, so imagine how behind I feel). I have…

• Crying For Nothing

  It genuinely scares me just how fragile I feel,Like you’ll realise I’m not that interesting and change your mind,I thought I loved you so much, it’s an actual pain in my chest,I analyze and over analyze our conversations, Looking for clues or indicationsPushing you away only to pull you back in because I’m scared I…

• Book Review: Felix Ever After

  Our 1st book review of the year and it’s a very different genre that we’ve explored this time around. While visiting Point-Claire Village last summer and more specifically The Babar Bookstore during the Montreal YA! Festival, I spotted this book and was immediately drawn to it. Not only for its content, but also because I…

• Book Review: The Vanishing Half

  One hundred percent, this book was purchased due to the hype it received on socials. The cover is pretty and full of colour, so you know I would be down simply for the cover art. Adding to that, the synopsis had a very interesting plot. 2-3 weeks later, I ran through this book and truth…

  As an avid reader, this book came across my radar when it wasn’t released yet in Canada and I literally ran and pre-ordered it! Yes, I was that excited. Not only is the cover goals, I loved the title, I could relate on 100% and also, it was such a captivating subject, I figured it…
