Through a combination of lyrical prose and poetry, Daley-Ward encourages readers to peel back the layers we’ve built up based on societal expectations and get to know the real, unique, hidden person beneath. Although this is difficult work, Daley-Ward’s beautiful writing shows how important and inspiring it can be as well. I'm not much of a book highlighter/underliner, but I highlighted at least one thing in every single chapter. This slim book somehow manages to offer a piece of advice and an exercise for any struggle. I'm now convinced that poets make the absolute best self-help writers. I will certainly return to these words again and again.
