This book is life raw. It is a struggle with hope, with pain, with being lost and loved and lost again. How sometimes things just fall apart. How we lose ourselves in the moments we cannot change.
My Own Asylum dives into a girl's battle with addiction, with insanity, and with herself. Her name is Lynn. This is her story.

July 26th...

Snorted crank. A few times throughout the night, actually. That shit tastes nasty at the back of your throat. She told me it was really addictive. I said if she becomes an addict, I’ll be one too. It’s weird. A part of me knows how dangerous this is. How stupid and harmful. A part of me is scared and worried. But I don’t feel any of it. I don’t feel anything at all.

Maybe that’s the crank talking. Or maybe not. But I think I’m done writing for awhile, though I’ll be awake for a long ass time!

-pg. 27

Sometimes I couldn’t feel my body. The distance between me rolled in and out, like waves. Black water, cold as ice. And I was spinning in circles, fighting the current. Drowning. Why couldn’t I just close my eyes and disappear? So much around me, I’d fall over. Like paper dolls. It was too much to think. Couldn’t go to class. Couldn’t understand it. Couldn’t remember how.

My parents called. Sienna called. Kat called. Over and over and over they called. It was just the fucking telephone. I shouldn’t be running. Shouldn’t be running from nothing. But my feet wouldn’t stop. So I ran and I ran and I ran to the white snow that wasn’t cold, making angels dance inside my nose.

-pg.175

12:50 PM. I sat there on the concrete in front of the Health Center, my knees to my chest, my eyes staring at the pavement. I hated the Health Center. Being here meant something was wrong. Okay, so it could be the flu or a sprained ankle but that’s not what I thought of when I saw that place. It was for those who couldn’t handle shit on their own, who were afraid of falling and didn’t have the means to hold on anymore. Maybe I should leave. Hop the fence and tear into the forest. Live with the fucking deer. Live something else besides this fear.

-pg. 213

I'd like to meet:

You!

Yeah, I hate drama.  Not the theater kind, but the dramatic "Oh woah is me, my life is so fucked up" whining kind of drama.  And I've been trying hard not to make myself that way, but lately...

"Touching, honest and emotional...."

An honest review of My Own Asylum: I know I've mentioned it before, but books about the drug culture and lifestyle always intrigue me.  If they're an account of a true story it just makes it that...
