My Book

As I'm sure you know, since I've been posting a bit about it on social media, I'm working on a book at the moment. What's it going to be about? My book is essentially about my life story. It's about the path that I have walked in this life, the struggles I have dealt with, and what will become of my future. In my book, I'm going to be going into further depth on many of the topics that I've written about on here. I'm going to delve into the subject of my psychological illness, my struggles with addiction, and what I plan on doing with my life from here on out. Writing this book hasn't been easy so far. I've had to revisit many hard times in my life, but that's necessary. I can't tell my whole story without going into depth on the events that made me into the man that I am today. I'm trying not to reveal too much about the book in this post, but I feel it is important that I give you, my readers, a brief sneak peek into what it will entail. As of right now I'm working on the first chapter, which is all about the death of my father. It's not been easy, since it was such a tragic time in my life, but it was the event that started things off, shaped my early life, and made me into who I am today. Because of my fathers death, I was forced to come to terms with the concept of mortality at a very young age, which was incredibly difficult. I am writing about how I reacted to it as a child and how it forged the path in life that I was to take. As I get further into the book, I will go into depth on all of the people, events, and choices I have made that have brought me to where I am now, but also, towards the end of my book, I want to make it about how I have overcome all of the adversity to live a life worth living. I want to help people by writing this book. I want to share my story in the hopes that someone who is also going through hard times can draw from it an understanding that whatever they are going through, they have the power within them to make the most out of things. My book is going to be very sad at times. It's going to detail all of the tragedies, personal flaws, and struggles that I have gone through. However, it is ultimately going to be a story of hope. It's going to be a story, that will, at least in my intentions, will show people that they can overcome adversity as I have. A lot of the issues that I have, I still haven't overcome. It's because of this that at times I've thought that writing an autobiography or sorts would be a bit premature, but then I realized that my struggles will be forever ongoing so there's really no wrong time to start writing about them. I hope to have my book completed around this time next year, but I will be taking more time on it if need be. I've made quite a bit of progress so far, but it's still got a long way to go. It's definitely some of my better writing, and as I continue with it, I hope to keep that up. I'm trying not to cut corners or rush it because I want it to be nothing short of my coup de grace, my crowning achievement, my Mona Lisa. I know that sounds a bit boisterous, but it's true, that's what I really want this project to be.
