"...it's one hell of a ride once you enter and there's no going back. No exaggeration on 'hell' sonny." Dan Howell, 1979, aspiring writer. I pass the hours in a dimly lit hotel room, locked away with a number of aberrant individuals who display ominous habits.

Dan Howell is an insomniac....who's scared of the dark. Only a little bit. One late night (or early morning), he decides to venture out and explore London at its quietest. He meets Phil Lester at an all-night coffee shop, and the two quickly become friends. As the friendship continues to grow, Dan has to begin facing his issues, and his feelings for Phil.

"I think it's time you go somewhere else, Dan. Find yourself. Discover yourself and all that bullshit. Dan, I want you to find meaning in life.

Trust me" Dan Howell is stressed, depressed, and completely and utterly lost in life; and, yes, you guessed it: he is having an existential crisis. Because of this he decides to travel the world and not only does he discover himself again, he finds something worth living for: Phil Lester. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • trigger warnings: mentions of suicide and depression ☆ cover art credit to hsiao ron cheng
