A Word from the Author

Ever feel as if life has lost its meaning? The days and weeks go by while you're still waiting for your life to happen. You may be working at a job you hate, forced to be around people who couldn't care less about your future. Your parents may be dumping the remains of their broken dreams and ambitions like broken glass on top of your own plans for living. You may even be contemplating suicide, wanting to escape from the people and the conditions that cause you to endure rather than enjoy this weird process called living.

As the author of this story, I totally feel your pain. I know exactly what it feels like to lose all hope for life, waiting for something to conveniently dispose of you and everything you stand for. Everything you've dreamed of doing, everything you wanted since childhood seems to elude you all the time as the world at large seems to function just fine with or without you.

Nobody should have to live like this, and I'm here to tell you that there is another way to live, a better way, something more satisfying and fulfilling than what you may have settled for in the past, lacking an alternative. I'm not quite at the point I want to reach yet, I still have a long way to go, and most likely, so do you. But allow me to tell you a story about a guy, a teenager in fact, who thought he had lost everything; all hope and reason for living.

His thoughts were clouded and his heart was broken. He felt like he was dying inside. Everything he used to enjoy didn't bring him any satisfaction anymore. His dreams were crushed after repeated frustration and problems as he spent the majority of his life trying to figure out just what had happened to him...until one night when he took a walk in the park.

He saw something. Nobody was around to be an eye witness, but he knew that it wasn't just his imagination or a hallucination. He couldn't prove it to himself or anybody else, but something inside him lit up. The gears in his mind started to move again; his curiosity was sparked, and before long, he began to the world through new eyes.

Everybody thought he was crazy at first, but after spending some time around him, they noticed some changes in his behavior. He began to act differently, his eating habits improved, he started taking interest in the things he used to get bored of, including those he never found interesting.

With enough time and experience, he found just as much excitement in the world as if he was a child again; for all intents and purposes, he was a child again, although nobody would have guessed that he was 17 and soon to be an adult. So if you're ready to find new meaning for your life and begin the journey towards one's fulfillment, I invite you to witness the transformation of this young man's life as he found his own Entheos, that god within.
I'm starting my first entirely original novel. This is not an actual part of the story but an introduction to it. The first chapter is already in progress. It's about a young man who found new meaning for his life after being sure he had lost all hope, when his childhood memories come back to visit him, taking him away to a reality he forgot and left behind years ago.

This story comes from the bottom of my heart because it relates to frustrations I've had IRL, which many people can relate to completely. I want this to have an effect on peoples' lives, so I must commit to being a living example of what this story is all about.
