A collection of feelings and thoughts translated into words from 2014 - 2017.

---

"This book contains every word that could never be said, every letter never sent and every thought never mentioned. An official confession about feelings that were felt but never dealt with. I didn´t know what to do with my sadness when I was younger. I fought many battles against myself and I never won. I tried many ways to get rid of this pain. By the age of 14, I first tried writing as a kind of Therapy. It has become an addiction. I realized that romanticizing my pain made me fall in love with it. But one day, I will find a way to translate my pain into words and you will understand why I am the way I am."

K., Mandy
Mandy K. is a creative writer who originally intended to publish ´´The Story of a Loner´´ (2017) as her first & final poetry collection. But very soon after publishing, she realized there was too much inspiration for her to stop writing. ´´Whenever I´m asked what exactly I´m writing about, I usually just say ´´philosophy´´ - which is, partly, correct. Yet, I´m trying to cope with depression by writing my thoughts & feelings on paper in the most authentic ways. I personally hate it when depression´s romanticized, so I decided to write about nothing but the ugly truth - with a hint of sarcasm though, because that´s part of my kind of coping.´´ The Story of a Loner was followed by The Final Stroke, Pen and Paper & Constellation of Sadness which deal with relevant topics affecting everyone.
