Book Cover & Preview Text
That is the life of wearing a masquerade. A cover-up living with a smile plastered on my face, doing what was expected of me, living as I was told and never wavering from the identity that I had created. That is a huge weight I placed on myself that only lead to detrimental consequences. Many may be shocked as they read the details of my past. This is not about how bad things had gotten in my life or how well I had hidden all the very low times. My story is to break the silence about depression and anxiety and the reality of both. My story is about addiction. My story is one of hope and healing. My story needs to be heard because labels are more than just words on a tag of clothing or a soup can. But you see all of this is not just my story, it’s God’s! It is a hefty pressure to live, be, and act in a certain way according to some unwritten standards. So, here’s to ripping off that label and being real.
