Every Word You Cannot Say

Product Information

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

As a full-time graduate student, graduate assistant, and part-time marketing specialist, I have been insanely busy, and my mental health has started to deteriorate because I haven't had much time for self-care. This book gave me all of the reassurances I needed to get through this semester. I know you don't want to talk sometimes. Sometimes because it hurts and sometimes because you're just not supposed to talk about what you want to talk about. Sometimes it can be hard to say, "this is beautiful," when no one else can see what you see. Or, "Here, this is where the pain is." This book is giving you hope in the darkest of times and turning on even the tiniest light. And when I couldn't read farther I was so sad because I felt like something was stolen from me I love the book. I knew I would.

Walaupun hanya kertas, buku ini mampu membaca pikiran dan mewakili apa yang dipikirkan dan dirasakan pembacanya. Bila anda ingin menjanjikan harapan yang indah, sementara kenyataan faktualnya tidak seperti itu, Thomas memberi anda tawaran seperti ini: I know that, sometimes, you wish someone would just say the words you need to hear because, sometimes, you don't even know what those words are." The popularity of [Dog Songs] feels as inevitable and welcome as a wagging tail upon homecoming.”—The Boston Globe

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who’s been through a hardship. Who has ever been uncomfortable being in their own skin. It’s like everything inside me, everything I have ever wanted to say when my father told me I wouldn’t succeed because I was depressed, when my mother told me to leave her house, when I was the talk of the household and I couldn’t find my voice, when I was bleeding and nobody said anything. There is a special kind of sadness that can only be found in the confusion between who you think you are and who you think other people want you to be.§”

This book is about allowing yourself to be yourself. The way it is written is you'll feel someone is talking to you. I also liked the illustrations and color play. Bila dilihat secara umum, rangkaian kata-kata Thomas tidak hanya indah mempesona tetapi juga lembut menyentuh batin. Mungkin ciri khas ini yang membuatnya pernah masuk dalam nominator Goodreads Choice Award untuk puisi terbaik. Ia pernah pula duduk sebagai direktur kreatif di beberapa brand besar seperti Nike dan Levi’s. And we’re not everything we could be, because we’re afraid to allow ourselves to exist all at once, because too many people have told us not to.” I was granted an e-ARC of this book by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I know that, once, someone touched your hand and you did not want them to pull their hand away, but they did and this made you sad. And for this reason, I also know that sometimes you smile even when there’s nothing to smile about. This just puts into word every feeling, every thought, every emotion I have never even knew I still carry inside me. I loved every second of listening to this, even the tears I shed. Read more I know you feel things and wish sometimes that someone was there to tell you that you’re allowed to feel everything you’re feeling. But if we are the monster, and the person being chased, then we need to stop running because we cannot run away from ourselves.”Iain Thomas has a real skill here, an honest craftsmanship that I wish I could come close to. Some days, I try to (see: the centos I submitted to university groups, just so I could spill out a fraction of what I feel for this writing when it was my turn to talk). Sometimes, I hide in a coffee shop because I want to hear my name being called by a stranger, by someone I haven’t disappointed yet.” As a child, I would cry when someone took something away from me. When someone would say, “You have this. Now you no longer have this.” You think I have grown up. I have not. Sesuatu yang sifatnya subyektif seperti feeling, sense, atau judgement tidak mungkin dapat dibaca orang lain kecuali kita sendiri mengungkapkannya. Untuk mewakili perasaan-perasaan yang terpendam inilah Iain S. Thomas menulis buku Every Word You Cannot Say yang diusung ke dalam bahasa Indonesia oleh penerbit Renebook. The description said, “May this book find the person it needs to.” And an hour later I screamed, “It was ME!!! I was the one!!” It found me at just the right time. I was searching for “something” to read: a great book, a classic, not too laborious, but thought-provoking, inspiring, emotional. I wanted a book that would speak to me as if it were a part of me already. I just never imagined that such a book existed.
