Product Information

spoiler alert:these were not all the words i wish i said. in fact most of these words i wish i didn’t write. just to the small fact of, i wish i didn’t care… but sadly i do. but if i said the words i wish i did, then they wouldn’t be my little sec... In her compelling and heartbreaking book The Words I Wish I Said, the author recounts her experiences as a young woman growing up in the South during the Civil Rights movement. She discusses how she overcame racism, sexism, and poverty to become the successful author and activist she is today. The words I wish I had said. The things I wish I’d said. The way I wish I’d told you how much this meant to me.

We only have so many opportunities to interact with people, and we never know when those chances will go. I will thus make an effort going forward to overcome my shyness and express my thoughts, even if they aren't flawless. Because there are moments when the words we wish we had said are the most crucial of all. I've tried to explain to him how oppressive it is, but he doesn't seem to get it. Maybe things might have turned out differently if I had been more pushy from the start. But it appears that it is already too late. Although fair warning this book can be a little dark and sad. I felt that it was something everyone would be able to find a relation with. I felt it was something that everyone should hear or come to terms with. It's not that I don't want to talk to people or that I have nothing to say. I believe that some of it is simply anxiety; I wonder if what I have to say is worthwhile or if it will be judged or criticised. But life is too short to keep our words to ourselves. This book isn’t for us to criticize the author’s experience, instead it’s a glimpse at their life, their feelings, their self.There could be several situations where we wish we would have said something to someone at the moment but didn’t. These moments were sometimes lost forever when they escaped amidst our silence. Moments where saying something small could have changed somebody’s life, or at least their day.

We just need you to take one tiny, little, itsy-bitsy step to confirm your subscription. that, i think, is beautiful. heartwarming. what this collection was intending to be. but it just got repetitive. i mainly pushed through and finished it so i know moving forward that this kind of poetry just isn’t for me.

Caitlin Kelly's autobiography, The Words I Wish I Said, is an enlightening work that is also very motivational and brutally honest. It will bring up a wide range of emotions in you, including laughter and tears, as well as the drive to get out of bed and start living the best life you can right now. I wish I had a second chance to say what I want. The ones that would make you smile, laugh, or even just think about it. feel numb, i can’t feel my emotions my body my heart, i act like it’s there like i’m fine but honestly my own brain is confusing me.” I wish I said what you said. I wish I had told you how much I cared. I wish I had stopped you before you left, but I wish it didn’t have to end this way.I wish I had told you that I love you and that I’d never stop. And I wish I had said more than “goodbye.” I wish I’d said something. I wish I didn’t think it was so hard. But maybe that is about the hardest part. Maybe knowing what to say, how and when are the only things that matter. i don’t want this rating or review to come off harsher than i intend it to be. and i don’t think of myself as an overly critical or pretentious reader. but truly.. this wasn’t poetry. or at least, it wasn’t the poetry i enjoy. this was just words randomly separated and spaced out into different lines. some of them were nice or relatable… but most of them just weren’t anything new or special to me personally.

I wish I had said these things to my friends, family and whoever else might have needed a little extra encouragement. No mountain is too hard to climb, and you only need to look inside of you to find the strength to climb.I wish I had said this first: It’s alright. You did great. You can keep going and catch up with your dreams. I wish I had said this before, “I’m not doing this alone.” Many are working together with me to help me accomplish the mission that I have embarked on.
