Perhaps your regret lies in the echoes of unvoiced words. Did you withhold the depths of your love, leaving it buried within? Were you powerless to set the boundaries that could have protected your heart? Did your voice falter when you needed to speak up? In the quiet corners of our hearts, the heavy weight of regret finds its dwelling, reminding us of the striking power of unspoken words and unexpressed truths. Regardless of the regret (or regrets) you may harbour, have you tried to process that feeling? Have you managed to come to terms with it, or does it continue to weigh you down? Are you stuck in the past, unable to truly live in the present, because of your regret? In Haunted by Words Left Unspoken: How Speaking Your Truth Can Set Your Past Free, Anna Marie Buonomo addresses the topic of regret through a series of letters that are supported by poetry, thoughtful prose, and quotations from great thinkers. Divided into three sections—the past, the present, and the future—this book demonstrates how our relationship with ourselves can evolve and grow with time. Using her own life experiences as examples, Anna challenges her readers to face their regrets and move toward letting go and healing. After all, if we can face our own truths and release regret, we will create space for happiness in the present that will, in turn, manifest the future we envision.
