Through terrifyingly honesty and relatable satire, Shelby B. Sly wrote this book of poetry to encourage those who have been heartbroken and discouraged in pursuing their life partner. She makes clear the empowerment and profound healing that comes from the arduous process of loving deeply. Hopeful Romantic: a fifteen year collection of dates is a relatable journey of self-discovery. This collection of poems is told through the lens of a young, heterosexual woman living all over the world. I recount seventy dates, varying from hysterical to traumatic and everything in between. From first loves to first heartbreak, from dating in the States to Europe and Asia, from dating as a teen through my early thirties, this book runs the gamut. Every reader will be able to see themselves in these stories.
Made to encourage anyone dating 16+ years of age.
May you know you are not alone. You are worth the work of getting to know your needs. You deserve to be cherished. Your relationship with yourself is by far the most important to work on. May you too come to accept that you win some, you laugh at some. And most importantly, always remember: every angle of you {yes, even your crazy dating tales} are a masterpiece!
- Included:
- 70 pages of poetry
- several song pairings -think wine for the ears- to accompany the drama
- encouragement seeping through every page
- heartfelt recounts of recovering from codependency and eating disorders
