To Live as an Act of Rebellion

'To Live as an Act of Rebellion' chronicles the intricate dance between self-expression and self-preservation, a testament to the enduring resilience of the human spirit. With a reverence for the complexities of mental health, the collection delves into the suffocating weight of pain, the paralyzing grip of despair, and the profound loneliness that can accompany these struggles. The collection doesn't romanticize these difficult emotions but rather seeks to validate them and remind viewers that they are not alone in their own struggles. I've donned silhouettes that clung like a shroud, heavy and constricting, obscuring the radiant core of my being. In seeking armor, the kind that shields one from the world's arrows, I unwittingly bore an additional weight—a paradox where protection felt like a burden, akin to the walls erected around a wounded heart. " To Live as an Act of Rebellion" is a poignant and introspective collection that aims to provide solace and understanding to those who have experienced similar struggles with mental health, identity, and self-destructive behavior by crafting a tale that delves into the raw intricacies of mental health and the specter of suicide that demands an unwavering reverence and sacred devotion to the unvarnished truth.
