Life Til Now: Through the Eyes of a Dono

Society expects a well-polished individual that seemingly hides vulnerability and humility. We act as if we live in a society that does not require one to be perfect, but the moment someone shows that they have faced obstacles that have given baggage to carry, they are chastised or deemed as weak. This book is a self-help book that I chose to write for myself and decided to share it with others. Some people may feel like they are alone and I’m someone to remind them that they are not. In this book, you will primarily get my take on experiences and situations that I have faced. Following, you will get my perspective and advice on how to carry or let go of that baggage. We are all a work in progress, and it’s important to remind ourselves of that.

You’re born, and then you die. These are two things that are certain in life. Everything in the middle is what makes your life just that – your life. Everything that happens in between the day that you are born and the day that you die will be different from the next person. The things that happen during that time are the things that inevitably define you and mold you into the person that you are as you look back at what you have endured. How you grow from those experiences and learn from them is how you will go into the new experiences that are yet to come. I chose to write this book in an unconventional way because I feel it gives a more raw, intellectual, and emotional side of me that I don’t typically share with others. As you will see, the book is not a long book; I did this because I want this to be a book where you can sit down and read it regardless of your attention span. It was important that I hit a few important topics (to me), shine a light on a few of my own experiences, and then my advice on how to deal with them. In time, there will be more that I will write and share, but here you will get an introduction to a different side of Donovan. I hope that you find knowledge and courage to be unapologetic in who you are. Live, but most importantly, learn.
