I Am Myself

Dear Reader

If you have ever wanted to read someone’s diary, this is the moment. Seriously. This is my diary. The words inside this book were taken directly from my private journals and were never written to be read — by you or by anyone. They tell the story of a young woman who somehow lost herself amidst the expectations of adulthood, and woke up each morning with the realization that the clock is ticking, and she is no one. The heart behind the pen refuses to give up and live a dulled life, but she does not know who she is anymore. The journey she takes you on is existential, raw, emotional, unapologetically honest, and most importantly, empowering. If you have ever felt lost or sad or stuck like maybe there should be more to life… then I hope you’ll find a piece of yourself inside these pages.

With love,

Maggie Ann Ryan
