This book is in no way undermining the severity of depression as it is a real mental health issue that people need to be well informed about just like other mental issues.
The story in this book speaks about uncovering what High-functioning depression looks like in our society and how to possibly deal with it. It in no way glorifies it nor in any way substitutes it as an answer to every problem that the average human being stumbles across.
This is my own story.

A Lovely Life
Journey with me back in time as I rewrite the first Journal I kept from when I was in high school, and see that maybe even with how horrible life is most of the times, there are little things spread throughout that make life worth living. My high school experience was full of drama, tears, laughter, and most of all constant search of love, and approval of the people around me. I can't always get what I want in this world. Life is a beautiful mess. It's not perfect, and filled with a lot of disappointments, and heartbreak. There are moments when it all feels too much, but there's not much we can do other than go with the flow of things.Complete
Won Over

But on the night she planned to take her own life, a twisted version of a fairytale came through for her. A stranger in shining armor came to her rescue, stopping her from carrying out what she deemed to be the best decision she had ever made. Unrelenting and with ingratitude soaring as high as a mountain peak, she vowed to try again. Her desperation to exit this world kept increasing. Next time there would be no disturbances. However, the GOD of Heaven had something more beautiful for her in mind. Not as a twisted fairytale though. It would be the real deal this time around, through God's own way. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3rd place under the General Fiction category in the WalkbyFaith Awards 2021.Complete
His Heart to Love
"Been about you, since I met you and imma keep it that way" You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day. You're the only one who can make me smile without trying, bring down my mood without the intention to and affect my emotions with every action of yours. I can't explain with just words how much you mean to me, but you're the only one I'm afraid of losing and the one I want to keep in my life. So, please don't leave me. ~April 18, 2021 ~July 21, 2021 Rankings: #4 in mentaldisorder 9/16/2021 #6 in highschoolsweethearts 9/16/2021 #38 in urban 9/16/2021 #14 in blacklove 9/16/2021 #5 in angerissues 9/16/2021 #12 in urbanromance 9/16/2021 #3 in bwbm 9/16/2021 #20 in contemporarylit 9/16/2021 #29 in urbanstory 9/16/2021 #2 in africanamerican 9/16/2021Complete

"Hi, and welcome to iMotivate.com, a place where I'm here to support and help as much as I can for anyone who needs someone to listen to. I'll give you life advice, encouragements and also might be a friend to all of you. No matter what age, race, or religion you are, and where you are from, I will still be here for you. You can call me P and if you need any help, you can message me through this website, just click on the "send a message" button or you can email me at imotivatesupport@gmail.com. Don't be shy to send a message, I won't mind at all (unless it's inappropriate, that's unacceptable and will be blocked or deleted) but if you even want to drop a 'hi', go ahead!" Petra Hollis is an optimist and she is also the creator of the website "iMotivate.com" where she helps in motivating people no matter what age or where they are from. Everyone look up to her there and see her as their idol. But here's the catch. Out of the website and in real life, Petra is not really an optimist. She tries to be but it's hard if she spends her days getting bullied by the students at school. It becomes worse when one of her bullies found out she is the creator of the well-known iMotivate.com and her bullies suddenly became so keen on torturing her until there's no positivity left in her just to watch her shatter. How will Petra keep on motivating when she's crumbling apart herself?Complete
Lost In The Mind of Me
Laid upon the pages of this book is a story. This is an autobiography. I struggled with writing this and, as you will soon understand, though I knew how to write it, writing it and thinking about it was difficult. I have not labeled the chapters in hopes that you will read all the way through. You may understand me a little more if you do so, but, on the same note, you may end up hating me. I do not know what your reaction will be, but I will allow your opinion of me. I give you full permission to judge me, only when you read everything. This is on my struggles with mental illness, traumatic events, my opinions, my thoughts, my feelings; this is a tour of my mind. Be warned, it's dark and haunted. But I felt it important for me to write this, so maybe I can overcome it. Thank you for picking this text to enlighten you. I am not the smartest, nor am I the wisest, but I will do my best to paint a delicate image in your mind by how I string together my semblant words.Complete
How to Find Purpose and Peace: Why Am I Here?
Why am I here? What is my purpose? What is the meaning of life? Why am I alive? It seems that since the dawn of time we have been asking ourselves this very question. Kings and philosophers have puzzled and theorized, and paupers and plebeians toil under the sun wondering if there's more to life. Even today we seem to be frantically running here or there trying to get the latest scoop, wondering if someone has finally figured it out. People look high and low, and they try a number of things only to still feel unhappy and dissatisfied. In my own life, the only thing that has made me truly happy and given me peace for my soul is God. He has been the chief help in combating my anxiety and depression. For me, God has been the foundation that I've placed my life around and have built my identity. I write about how I've found purpose, peace and how you can too! Jesus loves you and has an amazing plan for your life! Buckle up, and let's read about the purpose of your life and how to find real peace!Complete
