It's not my fault. I mean, I never asked for any of this. I can't help that it's in my genes. I can't help that I'm fat.

I'm sorry if this story is bothering you. But if it is, it's clearly not meant for you. "What's depression like?" A friend once asked. I didn't know what to say. Because when people ask you things like "What's wrong" and "How are you?" and "Can I help you?" I never know what to say. I end up lying. I end up answering "nothing" and "Fine" and "No". Though what I really want to answer is "Everything" and "I'm not okay" and "Yes, please". What depression is like? Writing what it's like is easier than telling what it's like. Only a few will totally understand what it's like. And for those people I wrote this.

Pop-culture phenomenon, social rights advocate, and the most prominent LGBTQ+ voice on YouTube, Tyler Oakley brings you his first collection of witty, personal, and hilarious essays. For someone who made a career out of over-sharing on the Internet, Tyler has a shocking number of personal mishaps and shenanigans to reveal in his first book: experiencing a legitimate rage blackout in a Cheesecake Factory; negotiating a tense stand­off with a White House official; crashing a car in front of his entire high school, in an Arby's uniform; projectile vomiting while bartering with a grandmother; and so much more. In Binge, Tyler delivers his best untold, hilariously side-splitting moments with the trademark flair that made him a star.

Kinsley Adams is finally getting the getaway she's been dreaming of for years. She's moving to her cottage for the summer, three hours away from her home filled with day-to-day madness. Kinsley's had the same cottage for as long as she can remember, but something has definitely changed since the last time she came for a visit; new neighbors. A couple with a nephew her age- Levi- and a son due to arrive the next day- Finn. When they come over for a barbecue the first night, Levi Collins seems like a completely normal teenager. That is until she wakes up in the middle of the night to the sound of gunshots coming from the shooting range hidden on the edges of the forest. That's when Kinsley discovers Levi Collins is far from a completely normal teenager. Completely normal teenagers aren't almost constantly losing their mind, after all. And that's where Finn Allen comes in.

This is for TFiOS. A short story inspired by the book. I hope John Green reads it someday. Peacock is a brunette braider. Mostly she scribbles, looks around and leaves a note. A flightless bird searching for wings. She is reading her late Grandmother's diary. Flick is a curious boy with curious blue eyes. He looks at the girl on the bench scribbling something and gets curious. He likes to flick a smile. Together Peacock and Flick go through the pages of an old blue notebook and fall in love along the edge of word and relive the lives of those they read about. Its more than just a love story, it's more about how the world has the same pace, the same casualties, the same white roses, the same curious minds, the same heartbeat accelerating adventures even when time is not the same. It's more about how people can be so much same without even being same. It's love a little backwards and love a little forward. It's less than a love story and more a self discovery coming of age short story. MY NOTE: steal it, i'll burn down your house and build a library. No kidding. If it wasn't illegal. *you'll be the next character in my book to die... slowly... and ruthlessly*
