That was made apparent when she took offense to Jame’s first video on her. If she made the book to be unintelligent then all criticism would just be funny to her.

    I’ve been poetry writing for 4 years now. Everyday I grow as a writer, I write on topics that people may relate to, I write to help escape my issues, I write to help understand what is happening in my mind. Gabbie has the ability to write. Poems like “Distance” was beautiful, and the illustrations she shows helps add more to her words. But then you turn the page to something like “Hot” where the first two lines feel like something till she ruins it with “or a vape pen” and turns it to nothing. Poems don’t have to be long to give the reader the meaning you want to show, sometimes two lines can be more powerful than a pageful of words, but the way Gabbie does it, it feels like something from her notes app that she came up with that kinda rhymed. More of a tweet she would probably post instead of a poem. I saw her book in the store the other day and I picked it up along with another called “Pillow Thoughts”, and the complete DIFFERENCE between the two. Different to the fact you can see which one carried emotions and truth and one that carried empty words. Gabbie can write, but she chooses to make a “funny” joke instead of something that works.
