I read her diary a few years ago and I just found it again in my book shelf and all these memories and feelings came back. I read the book when I was going through what I still think was the worst time of my life and I was contemplating suicide. I decided to read a lot though to try and distract myself from things. When I read the first few pages it was like I was reading about my younger self. It felt like I was looking into a mirror. Now im not saying I can relate to the absolute horrors that she went through, but her as a person was just so I don’t even know how to explain it. Her words felt so raw and real. Being able to relate to some aspects of her was so comforting. I used to think it was stupid when people would talk about how they would get emotional over books but I shed tears while reading this. I know I sound really sensitive and stupid but it really touched me and to be honest, I don’t think I would be here right now if it wasn’t for that book. I felt emotions that I never thought I would ever feel again and that I didn’t even know existed. Knowing that it was all true is so much more comforting but also absolutely heart wrenching knowing what happened to her and what she went through. 100/10 book
