Free books!!! :
I am super excited to announce that my debut book has been published!! :DDD
It has been a tough journey thus far, but that's easily forgettable when, in moments like these, you're wild with happiness ;D .
But it isn't over yet, and I could use some support; if anyone is interested, I'll provide a free copy in exchange for a rating + review (on both Goodreads and Lulu)!
What's this book about, did you ask? In three words: Aesthetic. Heartfelt. Truth.
It's a marriage of poetry with stunning visuals; a story of developing self-love in free verse. It's a painting of metaphor for our current digital age, drenched in social media and its influences, and a young girl's revelations in overcoming it. It's also a dabbing of the spiritual, applicable to life and happiness in general.
I've found in the past few years, as many of us already know, that despite social media's graces, it has the strength of self-destruction. The implicit, constant message of 'you're not good enough', the expectations to become a certain kind of person, and everyone becomes ruled by everyone else's opinion. While I've seen people speak of social media's dark sides, I haven't seen people talk about how to combat insecurity, or how to find happiness, other than 'hey, just don't use social media'. Let's be real--the world is moving towards this sort of a future, and moving backwards isn't going to help. There's got to be a way to bridge the two: ourselves, and the benefits of the digital age. This story of star-plucking and awakening attempts to help out with that.
