About this ebook
Be inspired this New Year by a young woman's journey through life, love and lyrics
When I feel like I'm going mad, I write.
A lot of my worst fears have come true; fears that felt so big I could barely hold them in my head. I was convinced that when they happened, the world would end.
But the world didn't end. In fact, it pushed on and demanded to keep spinning through all sorts of mayhem, and I got through it. And because I persisted, I learned lessons about how to be a stronger, kinder, better human – lessons you can only learn by going through these sorts of things.
This is for the people with minds that just don't stop; for those who feel everything a thousand times more than others around them.
Here are some words I wrote.

I suffer from chronic depression in which I hope I'll be able to connect with this book, I see a lot of myself in Dodie and she's a great role model for young ones who don't believe they can be who they want to when they're older
