Hey everyone!
The next couple of weeks are going to be a bit hectic for me.
I have some signing sessions I have to attend to and I am really busy writing my third fantasy novel.
So, not much blogging time for me!
I will be checking in every once in a while to show you what I am up to though 😉
Wishing you all a beautiful summer and I will see you guys later.
Lots of Love,
Patty
Open Up
–
In the darkest of nights
Open your eyes
To see
The beauty
Which the stars hold
Â
In the brightest of days
Open your heart
To feel
What’s real
Inside of you
Â
In the middle of the storm
Open your soul
To embrace
The grace
Which kindness holds
Â
In the space of time
Open your mind
To learn
The pattern
Of Life
Open
Up…

This book by Callum was a nice surprise to read.
I am normally more into fantasy novels or poetry, but the story captured me from the very beginning.
Â
Â
The story follows teenager Abi Watson, who wakes in a hospital bed with no memory of the incident that put her there. She must strive to uncover the truth from the depths of her own mind while dealing with the various complex relationships with the people around her.
There are a couple of things in particular that attracts me to this book.
First of all, I love the writing style. It reads easy and swiftly. When you start to read, the story grabs you almost immediately and keeps you in its grasp for the remaining of the book.
It has a great tension in it and sparks your curiosity throughout the chapters.
The second thing I really like is that this book contains a subject very close to my heart: PTSD. I admire a story that holds issues that are normally kept hidden. This way, people can learn a bit while enjoying an awesome story at the same time.
As for the story itself, it’s exiting, filled with questions and has depth as well.
Although I did foresee the ending, it didn’t bother me at all because it left me with a sense of: ‘See? I was right!’. Very satisfying when that happens. 😉
So, if you like a good, intriguing story with tension that makes you want to read faster because you want to know what happens next, I can recommend this book for sure!
Thank you Callum, for a great read!
Lots of Love,
Patty

On Throwback Thursdays I want to share some older Poems and Posts of me.
This time I chose to share a poem I wrote last year about battling an invisible illness.
As most of you might know, I have PTSD.
But I also have Crohns and HMS (Hypermobility Syndrome)
All invisible, but all very real and chronic.
So this one is for all of you who are battling an invisible illness and have to deal with the judgment of people who can’t see your struggles.
Stay Strong! You are Awesome!
The Invisible…
–
Captured
Inside my own body
Fighting
To stay sane
Chained
Never free…
Fighting
Against the pain
Locked
Inside my skin
Fighting
The frustration
Imprisoned
Never released
Fighting
The irritation
Unsaved
Without relief
Fighting
Depression
No escape
Never free
Fighting
The Invisible
Every goddamn day
Fighting…
Endlessly

Let me
Be free
To make my own
Mistakes
Let me
Be crazy
To take my own
Risks
Let me
Be empty
To deal with my own
Sadness
Let me
Be happy
To live life my own
Way
Let me
Be mighty
To discover my own
Path
Let me
Be…
Just Me
