"Who are you?"
"Who do you think I was?"
"A complex mystery in the form of a girl."
There were very few things that Astrid Johnson was exceptionally good at.
She was just smart enough to get by, just attractive enough to be written off as "pretty", just normal enough to blend into the sea of people that populated her high school. She preferred to go unnoticed, to go unseen, and that's how she spent the last seventeen years of her life.
Because Astrid was exceptionally good at one thing, and that one thing requires her to go unseen. Ever since she was five years old and could write enough to just be legible, Astrid wrote down observations.
About the places she'd been, about the things she'd seen, but, most importantly, about the people she encountered. There wasn't a single student at her school that she hadn't seen, observed, then studied. Astrid knew more about her peers than they knew about herself.
But never did Astrid expect to use those observations to ascertain why a girl who sat two seats behind her in English killed herself.

Keep An Open Mind {Lynn Gunn}
TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.
