A Better Side of Me


Book Description

I believe we all have had these thoughts once or twice in our life. Some of us may feel we are cursed and were just left on this earth as someones cruel joke to manipulate and hurt. Im sure that some of us may even be hurting due to circumstances from someone we love and trusted to care for us. Whatever your thoughts and questions are, there is an answer for it. We may not always understand at the time but everything happens for a reason. Timing is everything and remember above all, some are sicker than others. We are not all with healthy thoughts or feelings, some people carry some pretty heavy stuff around with them as they try to get through their daily life. Some of us carry our parents issues as well as our own. This allows us to be bullied and picked on. Some of us are desperate; some of us are just confused on what we should do. No matter what we say out loud or the actions we take the mistakes we make or carry for another, will ever be hidden. We show all our feelings in our actions as well as expressions. We should never allow our self to feel like we dont belong we dont fit in or we are not loved. This is our brain giving us false information because of a feeling or thought and sights we are producing. This my friends is an unhealthy STATE OF MIND. Having this will lead us to destruction lead us to believing anything about us. We are no good we dont deserve love we are no good to anyone. I hate me I hate my life no one cares no one will miss me. What difference will it make if Im here or not?




THE OTHER SIDE OF ME


Book Description

The Other Side of Me was inspired by the authors recognition of the realities of the ups and downs of life and the pursuit of the heart that so often go unrecognized or ignored. This book is his pursuit of a level of emotional and spiritual integrity through what Is hoped to be an honest self evaluation of what "truly matters". Although my initial inclination was to achieve a sense of order through dividing the book into two sections, 1. Thoughts on Love, and 2. Thoughts on life, I decided against this separation because I realize that life rejects such an orderly division and encompasses both life and love indiscriminately as they show up. Under no circumstances is this writing meant to substitute my own reality for another's reality but rather to inspire and motivate others to seek the truth of their own reality pulling it from behind the camouflage that life uses to cover or disguise the truth and thus preventing us from being truly free.

BPD, the Other Side of Me


Book Description

This book is full of poetry relating to the mental illness Borderline personality disorder (BPD). Such education and awareness is still needed. It is such a rollercoaster and difficult to understand. My hope is this connects to those with the same disorder, and touches the ones that do not, that they may feel or understand BPD a little more.




The Other Side of Perfect


Book Description

For fans of Sarah Dessen and Mary H.K. Choi, this lyrical and emotionally driven novel follows Alina, a young aspiring dancer who suffers a devastating injury and must face a world without ballet—as well as the darker side of her former dream. Alina Keeler was destined to dance, but then a terrifying fall shatters her leg—and her dreams of a professional ballet career along with it. After a summer healing (translation: eating vast amounts of Cool Ranch Doritos and binging ballet videos on YouTube), she is forced to trade her pre-professional dance classes for normal high school, where she reluctantly joins the school musical. However, rehearsals offer more than she expected—namely Jude, her annoyingly attractive castmate she just might be falling for. But to move forward, Alina must make peace with her past and face the racism she experienced in the dance industry. She wonders what it means to yearn for ballet—something so beautiful, yet so broken. And as broken as she feels, can she ever open her heart to someone else? Touching, romantic, and peppered with humor, this debut novel explores the tenuousness of perfectionism, the possibilities of change, and the importance of raising your voice.

Magda's Daughter


Book Description

To survive the long shadow of the Third Reich, many children were placed in hiding, forced to keep their true identities--names, religion, places of birth, even gender--secret. Among these "hidden children" was Evelyne Juliette, born in Paris to privileged Hungarian immigrants of high intellect and great passion. Scarcely a year following her birth, France would fall to the Nazis, plunging Europe further into chaos and placing Evi's family among hundreds of thousands on the run. Her father, forced to go underground, never again emerged. Her mother, the indomitable Magda, managed to send her young daughter to temporary safety before being imprisoned in a forced labor camp. Evi, just barely three, was eventually brought by an aunt to Budapest under her cousin's passport. "Claude Pollak" would be only the first of many false identities assumed to protect the shattered remnants of this young child's life. Brimming with novelistic detail, vivid characterizations, and a sharply observed emotional terrain, Magda's Daughter depicts, in the words of the author herself, the life of a "perpetual refugee," forced by historical circumstance to live in rootless exile, while yearning for something she never really knew--life "before." Evi Blaikie, a gifted storyteller, writes against the limits of language and defies traditional definitions of "survivorship," while reminding us that no war is ever over until the last survivor is gone.
