As the night descends, my mind begins to wander. I find myself lost in a sea of thoughts and emotions, unable to find my way back to the surface. It is in these moments of restlessness that I turn to words, letting them flow from my mind and onto the page.

This book is a collection of the short stories, poems, and sayings that emerged from those restless nights. Each piece captures a different facet of the human experience, from love and loss to hope and despair. Some are introspective, delving deep into the complexities of the human psyche. Others are observational, offering a glimpse into the world around us.

They are a testament to the power of words, to capture the essence of life and make sense of the chaos that surrounds us. I hope that in reading this book, you too will find comfort in these words, and perhaps even a sense of connection to the restless mind that gave them life.

This is a collection of my writing from the past 7 years. Before I started to write, I was a very lost individual, as are most teens, but I was lost in darkness. I was too afraid to move anywhere at all. I hid in the dark, debilitated by my own anxiety, sadnesses, anger, and hopelessness. I was desperate to be loved and feared it the most, I was a coward, I was self-destructive, I would mentally bend my thoughts to the point of bordering insanity. I was born into this world alone, and got too comfortable with it. Maybe I still am, but a fraction of what I used to be. This writing is extremely vulnerable, and potentially disturbing to others, as all my weaknesses, strengths, obsessions with making every moment sentimental, the sickening desperation I've had, the destructiveness, and the constant brutal reconstruction of my mind. Without guidance, it's been absolute intense chaos. Though, there is beauty in the darkness. Everything can be found in the darkness. You'll find that through my writing, I've somehow slowly become exactly what I've written. A living representation of my writing and what I wanted to be. Without myself even knowing it. A lot of my writing themes are based around nature, or some kind of natural aspect. The imagery I paint with natural metaphors is constant, the animals, just like you and I, the plants, and all other living things. I planted these seeds in my mind, unknowingly at the time, where I now feel the deep dark green jungle pressing at the inner walls of my skull. It's all that I want to consume my mind. There's so much to learn. The magic of nature, and it's infinite wisdom. It's as if I have been on this path all along, and I didn't even know what I was doing, yet my body and mind were passively taking care of me. Giving me and eventually showing exactly what I want, and wanted to become. I have every moment, every instance of suffering, and every epiphany to be thankful for. Soon, I'll be at peace from the raging storm.

Similar themes and characters will remain but simply be transformed, as new elements are incorporated. Chapters mays seem similar at the beginning, but the stories will end up being completely different. (I'm going to have to reread my entire story lol) =) / =( [!WARNING!] This story will include mature themes and may include some blood, gore, violence, threatening, blackmail, profanity, kidnapping, unhealthy dynamics, discrimination, mental health, etc. Viewer discretion is advised!
