I wrote a book review of the book, it’s called Princess Bubble. You can read the review here : http://menstrualpoetry.com/not-all-princesses-need-prince

Moving on…

I think the stigma that women run into the most is that frankly, so many of us are afraid to be alone. Afraid to be the “crazy cat lady” on the block or be the old woman making herself lunch and sitting quietly at her kitchen table staring down into her meal and ultimately, dying… alone. But what we don’t realize is as weird as it may sound, that if we do marry, women typically live longer than men anyway and eventually, we are alone, without relationship. The trick is to be in love with yourself. To look in the mirror and love what you see, to love yourself as a person because then, you don’t settle for the guys you know aren’t going anywhere or who you can’t enjoy time with. You won’t see those guys anymore, like you said in this post. Ultimately, we need to be good with ourselves because after all the shit, we’re all we have so you better do your best with what you’ve got.
