Description
tell myself i'm sorry is a raw account of growing up as a perfectionist, people pleaser, and carrying expectations that were never meant to feel so heavy. Brinda Perumal bares her heart with honest reflections of her upbringing, relationships, cultural pressures, and emerging sense of self with sarcastic humor, curiosity, and uninhibited vulnerability.
This poetry collection guides the reader through suppressed emotions, uncertain futures, and the difficult work of asking what you truly want. tell myself i'm sorry speaks to perfectionists, overthinkers, peacekeepers, eldest and only children, and anyone once praised for being "mature for their age."
For those who learned to apologize to everyone but themselves, this collection offers permission to finally say, i'm sorry to yourself.
