Notes to Myself: Things I Wish My Younger Queer Self Knew About Life
75 Thought-Provoking ReflectionsBy Brian MorrisonRecorded TrackLength2h 26m
About this audiobook
This book contains 75 thought-provoking reflections on life that I wish my younger self had known. It is a meaningful read for any young adult questioning life and seeking new perspectives. It is also an exceptional resource for anyone reflecting on their own life's journey.
I hope this book inspires you to build meaningful connections and remain open to new experiences. Life is both messy and beautiful, and it's okay to be both. Within these pages, we explore mental health, relationships, self-worth, life lessons, identity, passion, emotions, and more. With most reflections fitting on a single page, it is a relatively quick & relatable read.
This is not an instruction manual filled with answers. Instead, it offers reflections and perspectives that invite you to apply what resonates with your own life and experiences. It is poignant, funny, honest, and sometimes serious. There is no single way to be. There is only your way to be, and I hope you learn to embrace and celebrate that.
