What is The Truth Inside Awareness? I came up with the idea to write a book about other people's emotions and struggles. I want people to know that there are other people like them in the world. I also want to build a way for other to share their stories and struggles with the rest of the world. 

 

Why? For as long as I can remember I have been self-concious, easily depressed, unable to express myself to anyone, easily put down, not able to express the emotions that I would like to, and so many other things. It has always been extremely difficult to cope with these emotions and inabilities and often I would face a time of darkness. When I was about 19 I figured out that I was able to write, not just poetry, but entire stories. Writing became my power, my escape. I have come across people who have masked themselves like I have, but do not have the power to write. Truthfully anyone can write... but are you willing to share it? I did a short story about inner, deepest emotions toward myself. It was powerful for me to put such feelings on paper and kind of release them from my mind. I decided, what if I could do this for other people? What if I told other people's stories for them to help them release it from their mind? What if these stories were able to help other people who struggle in the same way? Have you ever tried to explain depression who does not suffer from it? It's not easy for other people to understand that it is not as simple as getting over it. 

 

What is my goal? I want people to get a taste of what it is like for us on the inside.I want to make people understand what our minds are really like, and why it is they don't understand. Some people will never go through what we do, and we will never go through what some others go through. I want everyone to have a peice of each other. I want people who don't know to have a peice of us. I want the world to be aware!

 

Is this only for depression? Absolutley not! This is for everyone who has ever had a struggle in thier life. Something you think "No one else but me could be going through this." Because there is someone else like you, you aren't alone, and I want you to connect with that other person. This is for anyone who has been told "Oh get over it." or "Just try to forget about it." This is even for anyone who been bullied, raped, abused, addicted to drugs, struggling with poverty, anything you want it to be. You make the story. 

 

Is there money involved? No. I am not doing this get paid, or anything like that. I am doing this to raise awareness about the things people don't know go on. Any money I would make from this would be put back into the cause of getting the message out there. I want everyone to know your story and your emotions. I do this because I want to. I want to help people and I want you to help people too. Writing is my passion and it is all I want to do in life, but I also want to help others, and this is my way of doing it.
