  Summary

  Hi. I'm Nanie.
  And no, I’m not here to inspire you or change your life (I’m not even sure I can handle mine).
  This book isn’t about epic adventures or love stories straight out of a Taylor Swift playlist.
  It’s about me.
  And how I survive classes, overly intense people, never-ending homework, loud thoughts… and life in general.

  I use my mind as a shield and music as a lifeline. Imagining absurd stuff keeps me sane. Or as close to sane as I can get.

  Anyway, if you’re looking for an inspiring story of personal growth, you might wanna read something else. But if you’re feeling stuck, misunderstood, or just plain tired, maybe we’ll get along.

  Warning:
  This book contains painfully real thoughts, unnecessary sarcasm, random existential crises, and a main character who’d honestly rather be asleep.
