About the Book
Title: Your crossroads. Your choice.
Author: EJ Apicello
Genre: Self-help
Welcome to my diary, my journey, as I tripped and
crawled through the darkest time in my life- when I witnessed people that
I held incredibly close to me shatter my very existence with their words and
actions. The things within this book spine are extremely raw and exceptionally
real. You and I are going to get very close, the details in this book, although
oddly general, are incredibly specific. Yes, I realize what I just said and as
you read my words you will see what I mean. As you silently gasp and mentally
bitch slap me, please be kind because my story is just that - my story. It is
not any more or less special than yours. In fact the only difference between
our stories are the choices we made at each of the crossroads in our lives. For
most of my life the choices I made were not based on my happiness but on
everyone else’s. This book describes what I have experienced in my journey to
finding my happiness and hopefully never letting it go. Sadly, it took me
thirty six years to find the strength I need to detoxify my life and self view
and find someone who is worthy of my awesomeness. Thirty six years to shatter
the negative foundation I had built shatter the ultimate representative I
created to hide behind and begin the process of building a new foundation. Only
this foundation will be built on strength, confidence and above all, happiness.
So take a minute or thirty and sit with my story for a while. You never know
what you might find out.
As one person, we cannot be expected to fix everything
and even more importantly we cannot be expected to follow every rule, to always
be perfect.
Author Bio
Welcome to my real, crazy, emotional, probably too
honest journey. I am an everyday girl in this everyday world trying to keep my
head above water and within the pages of this book you will learn about the
things that have broken me down and the steps I am taking to build back
up. You will see, my new friends, that this story is written in a unique,
general, conversational voice, which was my choice. I want you to be able to
picture yourself in my shoes, relate my trials and tribulations to yours and
see that you too can find your happiness. Even if you don’t realize this yet,
every single one of us possesses things inside of ourselves that we didn't know
were there. It took my life taking a crazy right turn and dumping me at the
lowest possible point before I could see the strength within myself. We are not
defined by what we do, we are defined by the choices we make. I decided when I
put pen to paper that I want my choices to start defining me as strong,
confident, secure and above all else, happy. So, who am I? How about I tell you
who I was - a self loathing shell of myself who put everyone else’s happiness
before my own. Herein lies my story to find that happiness and all of the ups
and downs along the way. See who I was and who I am trying to become and maybe,
somewhere in there, you will find out a little about yourself too.
