Milk and Honey

The first few chapters were uncomfortable to read for me, a bitter pill to swallow. But it made me acknowledge traumas I used to know only superficially.

The parts about sexual relationships was the part I didn't enjoy reading the most. It may be something relatable back when I was younger and sex was all I had in mind, and I don't understand my own self well. But now that I've improved and have a different outlook in life, I may be too pragmatic to for lines like:

 he only whispers i love you as he slips his hands down the waistband of your pants

Just communicate, please.

One thing I agreed about is to acknowledge that there's always a balance in nature. After the pain comes happiness, however long it may take so it's useless to dwell in the past, nor live in the potential of your future. Just be mindful of your feelings and why you have them in the first place.

The best part I think is the messages about womanhood at the last part, especially the ones about accepting your physical self. I will try to accept my natural body more, instead of focusing how I could look to other people.
