Don't get too lost finding yourself
A Manual for the Brain, the Heart, and the Lungs.
I told you a story about a man who ran out of time.
His name was Killian. He was the guy with the polished suit, the unshakable confidence, and a charm that worked no matter what he was facing, a kindness that drew everyone in. But behind the scenes, he was hiding his battles from the very people who loved him most. He and Joscelyn were the "it" couple, the kind of soulmates that made everyone else look like they were just practicing. But while the world saw a success story, Killian was a ghost, red lining his own soul and gasping for air while pretending that "suffocating" was just part of the price of being strong.
Most people think the end of a story is where the person physically disappears. But I have one more secret to tell you about Killian.
In this part-memoir, part-story telling and part-survival manual, Rickell Marshall pulls back the curtain on the roles we play to keep the world from seeing our "under construction" signs. Through the tragic lens of Killian's silence and the triumphant reality of finding peace in the mess, this book challenges everything you've been told about "finding yourself."
Inside, you'll discover:
The Anatomy of You: Are you the Brain (the fixer), the Heart (the rhythm), or the Lungs (the support)? And more importantly, are you playing a role you weren't designed for?
The "Towel" Trap: Why we stay in toxic situations just because we already bought the personalized towels. (Yes, it's as ridiculous as it sounds).
Manual Override: How to hold a funeral for the person you used to be so the person you actually are can finally breathe.
The We-ality: How to achieve your biggest dreams without turning your relationship into an anchor.
Whether you're a "fixer" tired of fixing everything but yourself, or a "supporter" who has forgotten how to breathe on your own, this book is your permission to stop the performance.
Don't get too lost finding yourself. Because sometimes, the person you're looking for isn't a distant, perfect stranger. Sometimes, they've been standing there the whole time, just waiting for you to stop pretending and say, "I'm here."
