Part photography collection, part poetry, part guided journal. This is a very unique but beautiful book. I have never read a book like this before. It reminds me a bit of Trista Mateer's "Aphrodite Made Me Do It" as far as the style goes, which I adore. The book mostly deals with themed surrounding mental health, trauma, burnout, and overcoming adversity.

I would definitely reccomend this for anyone going through a hard time, looking to feel less alone and maybe start to work towards healing.

My thanks to NetGalley and Harper Celebrate for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

If you like PostSecret, this is PostSecret Lite, but with journaling. The format of this book is a picture with a quote from someone who submitted it through the author's social media, then a question formulated by the author, room to write your thoughts on the quote/question and then a quote from a famous person that somewhat fits the anonymous quote and the question.

YMMV, but if you want the most bang for your buck and to actually write your thoughts down, either a "real" copy of the book or if you have a fancy schmancy eReader thingy that allows you to "write" in your books, that could work for you. (I'm Old Skool, paper all the way for me.)

I would say this is more of a journal writing prompt than a fully fleshed out book. Take that as you will. I was expecting more PostSecret and less naval gazing, hence my less than excited review. My mistaken understanding about the book, not necessarily the book itself.

2, it didn't rock my socks, stars.

This is a moving journal. I loved the everyday people comments and then the quotes from famous people. The prompts were thought provoking. Im hoping there’s more to come from this author.

This is such a great and raw journal to sit and think about things. It’s formatted in a way with Geloy’s art that feel authentic and not too self-help heavy (if that makes sense)

I received an advanced copy through Netgalley for an honest review.

This book is a photographic journal with prompts that cover topics such as loss, heart break, suicide, and future goals. It also includes quotes that are relevant to the prompt. I enjoyed the prompts related to past decisions and relationships as I've been more reflective of my twenties lately. I find this journal would be good for someone who needs to process some trauma in a private way. The photographs were interesting and I found they helped with answering the guided questions.

Things You Wanted to Say But Never Did : A Photographic Journal to Process Your Feelings is a creative interactive journal with lots of prompts and ideas. It is a book for you to make your own using the springboard of the authors' creative photography and artwork. I have to admit it wasn't as inspiring as I had hoped but will probably appeal to lots of other people.

This is a cool book that reminds me a bit of Post Secret, except it uses the author’s own photos (inspired by messages people contributed) as prompts for journal pages. Each two page spread features a photo with scratched in words someone confessed and then an invitation to journal about questions he asks regarding the quote. Most of them are universal feelings about not belonging, missing those who have died, regrets, painful memories, etc. the photos all have the faces of the people removed so it gives a sort of anonymous, universal feeling to all of the people.

I must confess that I outgrew my need to journal long ago but it was an interesting read.

I read a temporary digital copy of this book for review.

Things You Wanted to Say But Never Did is a beautiful way to release your secrets. Comparing to other journals, I really loved the art of photography that came with this one. The prompts in Things You Wanted to Say But Never Did were also very intriguing. I feel as though it may be harder than to imagine trying to come up with "newer" ideas regarding prompts, but I felt as though this was tackled well. I would recommend!

This book is primarily a journal filled with prompts. Some of Geloy’s photographs and writings are sprinkled throughout the book along with quotes from famous people. I will say that I was disappointed that there were not a lot of Geloy’s work and I didn’t realize that this was a journal. However, there were some great prompts.
