I, Steven Vargas, am an Hispanic/American man who was born (on June 25, 2002) and raised in the state of Georgia for my infancy, childhood, and most of my adolescence. For years, I have struggled with mental illness such as OCD, PTSD, MDD, BD, and Social Anxiety Disorder. I grew up without knowing that I was on the autism spectrum until I was 18 years old. I spent most of my adolescence on social media, especially Instagram, where I met people from different parts of the world. I learned a lot through instagram and the internet overall, which helped my mentality grow. My journey with mental illness and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) led me to a perspective that I like to call the 'Only See perspective' or 'Xander's Perspective,' which will be mentioned in the book. You will learn how I went from being at the lowest to being at the highest I can possibly be until death, which I consider as the highest level I can experience. More higher than my perspective.
Meaning of the book's title
Youthful blossom, as defined by me, means the mentality growth that took place throughout my adolescence. Youthful means young (that can be applied to adolescence) and blossom figuratively means to mature or develop in a desired way.
