Dedication

This book is dedicated to everyone who is currently going through a hard time. To everyone supporting someone going through a crisis. And to everyone who is trying to seek help.

✺

This story is still a work-in-progress and will be updated and revised regularly.

This is a fictional story and loosely referring to the Greek Tale of Icarus, but in a modern and alternate scenario. If you like alternate retellings sprinkled with a bit of feminism and set in academia, then this story might be of interest to you.

There is a trigger warning for this story: if you don't have the mental capacity or strength currently to read about panic, anxiety, and depression, please beware and feel hugged.

At the same time, this story exists to give courage and let you know that you are not alone in your struggles. This is about feeling overwhelmed, encountering limits, and making mistakes, as well as it is about learning to stand up again. This is about not giving up... not giving up on yourself and anyone you are currently supporting and about protecting yourself first and foremost by learning and showing self-compassion!

So to everyone who decides to try out this story: I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts while reading. Don't hesitate to vote and comment and to let me know what you think, but also - if you feel comfortable - to share your experiences.

Last but not least: please respect that all rights are reserved, which means all rights to this story belong to me.

Happy reading, and all the best!
