Warning From The Author
To begin, I would like to clarify 2things,
1. I have lived an exceptionally beautiful life; however, I have also experienced a lot of pain. As a result, much of who I am and what I believe can only be described as a walking contradiction which has a history of leaving people moderately puzzled even when said people have made significant efforts to unpuzzle me. To this I can only offer the consoling sentiment of shared pain as I too have absolutely no idea what is going on and am constantly unable to fully figure myself out.
2. I have always loved writing. It has been the only way I have reliably always been able to find myself which as mentioned before is something I often struggle with and so this book is not a manifesto or “guide” about how to live but just a retelling of my own experiences and way to help see myself more clearly which I hope, forthose who have experienced similar phenomena, might help people feel a little less lonely in their own journeys.
3. I am by no means anybody of importance or relevance and these pages do not depict any remarkable or significant events that are traditionally considered worthy of autobiographies which is perhaps exactly why this autobiography is somehowrelatively valuable.
4. This book was equally inspired by an imaginary conversation I had with myself while walking back from university and from a combination of various personally significant events that accumulated just before a particularly nerve-racking cell biology test. So, it may be wise to proceed with caution as very few good things tend to come from a combination of massive life events and symptoms which are generally associated with mental illness.
5. I am very fond of lists.
6. I am terrible at sticking to self-enforced rules(especially those limiting the quantity of items added to my lists).
