The Art Of Letting Go.jpg

Jason first meets Konstantin, a first generation immigrant from Ukraine, in 2006. Konstantin is deeply in the closet and holds some deep-seeded internal homophobia. Despite their differences, Konstantin is drawn to the very out and proud Jason. 

Their story is told through journal entries, a first person account filtered through Jason’s many addictions. It’s raw, uncensored, and painfully honest as Jason chronicles their story in an attempt to understand himself and his addictions.

Sometimes to move forward one has to relive the past. These entries have not been altered or edited in any way. 

Will have mature themes, drug use, drinking, and harmful slurs. No sex but will have sexual situations discussed.

This is the story of Jason, told in a journal format. We follow him from his meeting with Konstatin, a young man from Ukraine, who is deeply in the closet.

We learn plenty about Jason and his personal growth.

This is an exceptional piece of writing, that needs to be read.

 

Response from the author:

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed Jason's story. I don't think it's worth the praise but thank you muchly.

A raw, introspective, and emotionally charged personal narrative, confessional in tone, that navigates themes of self-awareness, emotional detachment, love, regret and personal growth.  Written as journal entries that straddle memoir and therapy, with a candidness that’s both unsettling and deeply human.

 

Very powerful, and well worth reading.

Response from the author:

Thank you for your kind words! I'm not sure I accomplished all that, but it was an enjoyable experiment.
