This isn't a book you read in a straight line. It's a book you flip open when life feels heavy, when you can't shut off your brain, when guilt won't let go, or when you just need someone to remind you that you're not crazy for feeling all of it. I'm in it too. It's part memoir, part pep talk, part "wtf is even happening with my life?" guide. Inside you'll find stories about dreams, heartbreak, childhood scars, healing that never went in a straight line, reflections about everything and nothing, and the messy, hilarious process of learning to be yourself. I don't have all the answers (I wish), but I do know this: you don't need to fit into anyone's expectations, you don't need to apologise for existing, and you don't need to wait for permission to go after what you want. This book is for the overthinkers, the dreamers, the ones rebuilding after falls, and the ones who are just tired of pretending they're okay all the time. But as always: Keep shining. Keep being amazing. And keep being you.
