I AM – Absolute Freedom

This book has no plot. No hero’s journey. No five steps to a better you.
It started as a journal in Barcelona in 2001, when a life that had decided to fall apart did exactly that. It took twenty years to become this. Not because the writing was hard — because becoming the person who could write it honestly took that long.
What you’re holding is the unedited version. The one that didn’t make it into the previous drafts because it was too raw, too personal, too much. The one that finally stopped apologising for taking up space.
I AM — Absolute Freedom is for the people who have spent their whole lives being told they are too much, not enough, too loud, too strange, too difficult to love. For the ones who never quite fit — not the group, not the relationship, not the idea of who they were supposed to become.
It is not here to comfort you. It is not here to give you answers. It is here to tell you that the cage you’ve been living in was always open. That the life you keep waiting for permission to live is already yours.
It’s messy. It’s raw. It has a lot of middle fingers in it.
And if you’ve never belonged anywhere — you’ll find yourself in here.
