"Born to Love, Cursed to Feel" Review

We've all heard of R.H. Sin, a popular poet who frequently posts poems on Instagram. Well, "Born to Love, Cursed to Feel" is a book of poems written by his wife, Samantha King. I know what you're thinking, two authors in love is probably the most romantic thing you've ever heard but to top it off, Sin only follows King on Instagram and she only follows about 8 people. Nothing says romantic like a couple who's living practically depends upon the use of social media and yet, still manage to keep their consumption of social media to a minimum.

Anyway, back to "Born to Love, Cursed to Feel" by Samantha King.

If you're expecting the poems of R.H. Sin, don't. And also, shame on you. Married or not, an author should be looked at as an individual. Nothing boils my blood more when an author doesn't get the individual attention or credit that they deserve because society puts them in the shadow of a significant other. So anyway, if you're looking for poems that will make you feel something, break your heart, and give you hope; then this collection of poems is perfect for you.

Every poem in this book is relative to your life in some type of way. Whether it's the guy that broke your heart in high school, someone who made you feel unworthy of happiness, or finally realizing that you can conquer whatever you put your mind to; this book has a poem for you.

Written in free-verse and littered with metaphors, King beautifully describes every feeling you never knew you had and if you're anything like me, you will find yourself being reminded of the best and worst times of your life while reading this book. Of course, we don't want to think about all the bad things that have happened in our lives, but it's cathartic and good for your mental health, so take a break and dive into this book. Cry a little, laugh a little, learn to forgive and forget the things that you cannot change, get in your car and drive to your local book store/do some online shopping and pick up Born to Love, Cursed to Feel. You'll be so glad that you did.

And if you needed more motivation to go read this, here's one of my favorite poems from this collection:

Warrior

She goes on

Despite the fears, struggles, obstacles, and disappointments

She lives for Love of self

Love of life

And maybe one day for the Love of someone else

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
