Hello, everyone. 

You're all probably wondering why in the world did I publish this book and what the heck is it going to be about. 

To be honest, I've recently just gone through a rough patch of life. I won't tell you how it all went, but I think that what happened was something that made me realize something.

We are all human. 

We all make mistakes. 

We all, at some point, share some sort of pain. 

I don't know about you, but I'm the type of person who bottles things up, locks them away and brushes off the pain with a smile and a laugh. Bottles them up in my mind, until it starts affecting me and I don't realize it. This is simply how I've done things since I was young, and most of the time they can be passed by and I move on. 

This time, though, it was difficult for me to just pass it by. I didn't realize it and tried to bottle it up in my head-which unconsciously impacted how I was here. 

After I finally let it all out and talked to somebody, it really helped.

That was the first time I had in a very long time cried-laughing all the while. 

And after I got a hold of myself, I was more productive than I'd had been for DAYS. The burden of the guilt and pain had been weighing me down, and I just didn't realize it. And I realized that other people might also be going through the same thing. 

Thus, this book came into existence. It's not so much as a book as somewhere where we can all offer support and love to those who need it, or a place for people to just let it all out. Like I learned, it's not good to bottle things up. I'd like other people to experience the sheer, overwhelming joy I felt when somebody- a person, not an inanimate object or myself- for the first time in years understood me.

Like I said in the description, this book is a leniency where I will write in when I feel like I just need a break or when I need some support to remind myself I'm not alone, and you can all do the same too. That means I will either write in this when I feel like I'm under too much pressure, three times a week, or never. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on or to rant to, I'm always open.

I would like to give a big shoutout to the two who helped me out of my self-hating phase. You know who you are, and I am eternally grateful for you.

Anywho...

Yep. I think that's all I wanted to say for the introduction. Thank you all for reading that through. *bows*

Just remember. 

You are not alone.

You deserve to live.

You are you and don't ever think about wanting to change that.

If you don't believe that now, then I will try my absolute best to change your mind.

After all, it was somebody else that changed my mind too.
