BOOK COMING SOON!!!
EXCERPT FROM UNORTHODOX WORDS.
OMG.
OMG.
OMG.
UNORTHODOX WORDS..COMING SOON!
I am BEYOND excited to announce that I will be releasing the link to pre-order YOUR book in the next coming weeks. What is Unorthodox Words you ask? It is a poetry book compiled of over 100 poems about my personal journey dealing with depression and trying to overcome the dark, negative, and life shattering thoughts I have had most of my life. I am addicted to nature, so like my blog, each poem is paired with a picture I took with my iPhone. Yes my iPhone. These pictures have been taken years ago and some very recently, and I never really knew they would be in my book, but hey, that’s how the Universe works right?
Never let having a lack of resources, or not a big enough team around you, stop you from achieving what the hell you KNOW you are meant to achieve.
So since I love nature so much, I broke the book into 8 chapters, symbolizing the 8 moon phases:
NEW MOON - DEPRESSED STATE
WANING CRESCENT - HOPE
3RD QUARTER - SELF LOVE
WANING GIBBOUS - GROWING PAINS
FULL MOON - AWARENESS
WAXING GIBBOUS - GRATITUDE
1ST QUARTER - FORGIVENESS
WAXING CRESCENT - SURRENDER
These phases represent what I went through after I left from the mental hospital after my suicide attempt. Everybody’s journey is different. Everybody deals with their depression, anxiety or mental health differently. So this book is not a manual on how to heal. It is inspiration that anyone can move towards healing. It is a compilation of my deepest, most vulnerable thoughts that I want to share with the world. Hence my blog and podcast, expect my book to be JUST as gully. It is raw and uncut, no cookie cutter shit. I just hope that it will stop someone from trying to kill themselves too. Just trying to save and change lives out here.
Sooooo… for the next 11 days I will be posting excerpts from the book on my blog to give you guys a sneak peek AND I will do an 11 part series on my GullyTalks podcast about DEPRESSION MAINTENANCE and how to stay “un-depressed” starting TOMORROW! Just giving my gullies some content while you wait impatiently to get your book on your phones or at your front doorstep. Because I miss ya’ll and I love ya’ll.
