Pages are a boring concept in my opinion. This is much more than a simple book, it is unique, like YOU. To use pg. at the bottom of every page would be to put it onto the same level as anything else. It would mean to make it generic and normal but normal is not what this book was meant to be. An Axon is a nerve fiber. It is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell. The function of the Axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles, and glands in our brain.

Just like every page communicates a memory, a feeling and an experience these are all AXONS leading the words from Inside my Ugly mind into your beautiful and precious one.

Within this book are questions.

These questions are for YOU and you only.

This is a chance to write down your answers and reasons

Of your suffering, So that you can finally begin the difficult process

Of slowly Letting go.

Pour your words of pain into this book and leave them here to die

So that you can continue to live.

Even though I came from nothing

I still believe I am someone.

Even though I don’t have nothing

I am still hungry for everything.

Even though around me there is nothing,

I still look for something.

something I’ve wanted
