CONSTANTINE ( life of a masked person )
Many people walk through life never truly understanding the person behind the mask. Is it a case of multiple personalities? A carefully faked persona? Or simply a survival tactic to blend in, to be accepted? This book was written to shed light on the unseen struggles of a "masked" individual, a person who had to adjust to unfamiliar environments, not out of choice, but necessity. It's based on personal experience, shaped by moments of silence, forced smiles, and quiet battles. Behind the laughter was pain. Behind the confidence was fear. And behind the mask was someone longing to be understood. People often say, "Life goes on." But how can one truly move forward when they must constantly change who they are just to fit in? This is more than just a story. It's a journey of identity, resilience, and the silent war many fight behind the scenes. Through these pages, may you come to understand the masked and maybe even recognize the mask you wear, too.Complete

Locked In
You don't believe me anyways. You don't see me throwing away my inhibitions or filling up my online shopping cart. You don't see me diving into new life goals and careers and areas of study. You don't see my cry to myself in the car when my chest sinks in and my head gets crushed in a vice. You don't feel the panic in my stomach whenever I must make human contact. And you sure don't see how hard I try. How I wake up every morning and apply my mask. My work mask- to conceal all of this. But.... It's been the same mask for many years And my mask is wearing thin. My sadness, my anger, my paranoia and grand euphoria are trying to become a part of your world too. A world where it's not welcome. A world where it's not understood, where it's frowned upon.Complete
