I Thought Was Living: But Fighting to Survive

I Don't Know How to Be CalmFor most of my life, I thought I was living.Only later did I realise that I had mostly been surviving.Working. Helping. Fixing. Carrying. Enduring. Pushing through.Being strong.At least that's what everyone called it.This book was born the moment I finally stopped and asked myself a simple question: "Do I actually know what peace feels like?"This is not a traditional self-help book.You won't find quick fixes, perfect answers, or promises of instant transformation.Instead, you'll find an honest conversation about: - living in survival mode, - a body that remembers everything, - perfectionism and people-pleasing, - helping others while abandoning yourself, - grief, loss, and loneliness, - reclaiming personal power, - learning how to rest, - and slowly finding your way back home to yourself.Written as a heartfelt dialogue between Eve and Amber, this book explores what happens when a woman who has spent her whole life being strong finally sits down and listens to herself.Each chapter ends with reflective questions designed to help readers explore their own experiences and reconnect with their inner voice.This is not a book about becoming a better version of yourself.It is a book about finally allowing yourself to be human.If you've ever felt exhausted from carrying everything...If you've ever believed your worth depended on how much you could endure...If you've ever wondered whether there is more to life than simply surviving...This book was written for you.
