What happens when you stop sacrificing authenticity for image, approval, or validation In Kharissa Forte's first book of poetry, Pardon My Apathy gives women a voice for their pain, a path for their healing, and the permission they need to move on. I believe a healthy ending is better than a happy ending, but if there's a way to have both - I'm all in.- Kharissa FortePardon My Apathy reminds readers that they can never truly love anyone else if they don't first love themselves. It's an exhale for women who have felt alone, crazy, and misunderstood. If you've ever had a hard time articulating exactly how you feel or were too afraid to speak on what was going on inside, Pardon My Apathy is for you.
