I'm Not as Well as I Thought I Was

Dear Reader,

Checking into a mental clinic wasn''t exactly on my radar in 2022. Writing about it wasn''t either. But here we are.

I spent a lifetime trying to create a ''front'' to give everyone the illusion that all is well. It wasn''t, and it isn''t. Now I look back and I think, ''what the f*ck was that all about?''

I began the book trying to find meaning by going on various, life-changing journeys, I ended up in a mental clinic; obviously things didn''t work out the way I expected. This is the story of what happened after the mental car crash . . . From then on, the journey had to turn inward. It turns out I wasn''t looking for meaning, I was looking for home.

I''m not a fiction writer. I can''t fake it. I could say I rode into the sunset, but life isn''t like that u
