Publisher's Synopsis
To the person about to read my book, thank you for allowing me to talk to you. If you don't know me, hi, my name is Arrow. Throughout this book, you'll come to learn a lot more about me than just my name as this book is filled with some of my most vulnerable thoughts, emotions, and stories. As a teen author, I'm still learning and finding my style in writing my books, but one thing is still the same . . . The goal behind my books is to not only give some inside perspective on mental health for people to gain a better understanding but also let people know they're not alone. Struggling with mental health can feel beyond isolating like nobody cares. I'm only one person, but I need you to know that you have at least one person that cares about you, even if I don't know you. To me, you're not just a reader of this book but someone whom I have yet to form or expand a connection with. I've been told I need to "have some class" and, my favorite (not at all; it pisses me off), "put a smile on your face." I'm not good at being fake, and why should I have to be? Being human is all about forming a connection whether that's to people, the world, or yourself. Whatever connection that may be, how can you form that if you aren't you? You feel me? Throughout this book, I hope that not only am I able to make a connection with you but also for you to find a deeper connection to yourself. Having a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you I feel makes life a little less lonely. I hope this book is able to help you in whatever way you need it to. At the end of the day, we're only human. I think it's time that we as human beings start acting like it instead of putting on this fake persona that everything is perfect when, in all reality, it's the complete opposite; nothing is perfect. I think that's what makes life beautiful though, how you choose to see things. Anything can be beautiful or perfect; it's all on how you choose to view it.
