Nobody's Telling Sam

Description:

There is a specific kind of exhaustion that comes from being less than you are. The parts of you that you've kept hidden. The ones you made quieter so the world could stay comfortable. Those are the parts that connect us most. Nobody's Telling Sam is for the ones who've always felt more than they could explain. For those who have held the weight of someone else's pain before a word was spoken and carried it quietly, as if it were your own. This book isn't about being "too much." It's for those who learned to adjust. To shrink. To make space for everyone else and learned to call it normal. It's for the ones who have waited, sometimes for years, for someone, or something, to tell them: it is okay to be exactly who you are. It's about what it costs to carry more than you knew possible, and to slowly disappear inside it. We are not the only ones standing in this room.
