I wish I could tell you that the memories we shared will always be with me and will never fade away, no matter how long we spend with each other. I wish I had said the things that were on my mind to everyone special. To let them know that they are all needed in my life. 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.”

The Strength In Our Scars” is Bianca Sparacino’s reminder to you: No matter what you’re going through, no matter where you are on your healing journey—you are strong. 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. I wish I had said this to you sooner. I’ll say it now: I’m sorry I missed the opportunity to express how much you mean to me.

I wish I said; You are enough. You are worthy of love, so don’t think anyone else’s opinion about you will matter for a minute. Milk and Honey is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. About the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity. 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 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 had said: I can’t wait to see you again; peradventure I would have seen you one more time before you finally departed from this world. 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. 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.
