A poem from When the World Didn’t End by Caroline Kaufman (@poeticpoison)

Thank you Caroline for writing this. It’s been years since I stumbled upon this poem and even after all this time it continues to touch my heart, mending that broken piece inside of me.

I wish I could go back to that bookstore. Find the ghost of myself, and hold her as she wept reading this poem for the first time. She wouldn’t believe me, but we’ve come so far. We are closer than ever to the beautiful life we’ve dreamed of.

“Because people weren’t meant to be alone. And they weren’t meant to be scared. Or feel small. And they shouldn’t have to count how many times something bad happened, and they shouldn’t worry that it might happen again.”

— Julia Quinn, What Happens In London

“Deep inside, she knew who she was, and that person was smart and kind and often even funny, but somehow her personality always got lost somewhere between her heart and her mouth, and she found herself saying the wrong thing or, more often, nothing at all.”

— Julia Quinn
