Dear Paperhigh,
I just finished reading your book "Reverse," and I have to say, it resonated with me on a deeply personal level. Your story about being bullied and the subsequent struggles that followed, including the transformation into a bully, is one that I, unfortunately, can relate to.
As someone who has experienced bullying firsthand, I understand the feelings of pain, anger, and helplessness that can come with it. Like your protagonist, I tried to cope with my emotions by adopting behaviors that ultimately hurt others. I became a bully myself, and it's a painful truth that I still grapple with today.
I, too, struggled with depression and darkness, and I attempted to take my own life. Thankfully, I failed.
Your book brought back a lot of emotions, and the ending was particularly poignant for me. I appreciated the raw honesty and unflinching portrayal of the protagonist's struggles.
Thank you for sharing your story. It takes courage to be so vulnerable, and I appreciate your willingness to shed light on these important issues. Your book has helped me feel seen and heard, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
Sincerely,
Sam
