"A gift?" I stuttered, my tan skin slowly easing into an array of inky black streaks. It spread to my elbows. "This isn't a gift." It climbed to my shoulders.
"This is anything but a gift." It strangled my neck.
"This is a sickness."
Charlotte's mom died when she was 10. She met her best friend when she was 13. She had her first symptoms at age 25 on new year's day, and she caught the ink shortly after.
This wasn't supposed to happen. She was supposed to go to art school, move in with Jeremy and live happily ever after.
So much for her happy ending.

Inside Our Head | NEW STORY
This is not just a story. It is a collection of silent battles. Inside these chapters are different minds, different struggles, and different experiences that people often fail to see or understand. Each story opens a small window into lives affected by mental health conditions, emotional pain, and the weight of being misunderstood by society. From obsessive thoughts that refuse to stop, to overwhelming anxiety, to emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone, each chapter shows how different people fight battles that are invisible to others. Some are aware of what they are going through but cannot simply "stop." Some try to function normally while their minds are in constant conflict. Some are judged, ignored, or misunderstood by the world around them. This book does not exist to label people. It exists to humanize them. Because behind every behavior that others may not understand, there is a person trying their best to survive their own mind. And maybe, in reading these stories, we learn to see them a little more clearly. Not as broken. Not as different. But as human.Complete
