**disclaimer: obviously i have a very specific idea in mind but it doesn’t have to be exactly that ofc lol as long as the main idea & basic themes are there)
some essential/important themes: hardship, loss, hopelessness/helplessness/despair, pain, questioning of things like identity, people, of the world in general, etc, faith , hope, resilience, self-empowerment, some sort of self journey
So basically they lose themselves, their health, relationships, career, etc. (maybe even lose / their faith is tested) and find themselves virtually alone, unable to find or get help, and feeling absolutely helpless and hopeless.. they are at the bottom of the BOTTTOM of rock bottom, like can’t get any lower lol.. maybe this downfall of their lives happened because of mental health struggles or other health issues (ex. chronic illness), or it could be a completely different thing that caused or sorta started this chain reaction and maybe they started to develop/experience mental and/or other health issues as a result (or no health issues at all;not necessary). Essentially they once were a completely different person with a full life and so much ahead of them, feeling blessed and content, and then somehow their life is turned upside down and they’ve lost everything that made them who they are and their life and they just feel like a ghost of their former self in a life they no longer recognize or feel they fit in anymore.. and with basically no resources (financial struggles esp), people who turned away, etc.. they just feel utter despair… and SOMEHOW they find a way to crawl out of this darkness slowly, somehow they find a way to rebuild themselves and their lives little by little, somehow they start to heal and find some hope and light again… Somehow they find the strength to fight for their own life after the world essentially deems it useless and prove that they MATTER.
**VERY IMPORTANT HUGE FACTOR ABOUT THIS BOOK MUST BE: THIS PERSON IS THEIR OWN SAVIOR (can be with higher power ofc) but i mean no other human being like a prince charming comes and magically saves them by falling in love with them and somehow love solves all their problems🙄🙄😂
** NO SELF HELP BOOK SUGGESTIONS PLEASE, AND ABSOLUTELY NO FAIRYTALE ROMANCE OR ROMCOM NOVELS**
Certain themes in there would be nice but not essential:
– Trauma
– pain from diff types of relationships including familial, friendship, romantic, professional, etc
– feeling abandoned / betrayed
– loss of trust in people
– isolation
– Faith
– injustice
Ik i’m looking for very specific things & sorry for the long post but if u do read this THANK YOU, and if you suggest something as well THANK U X100🙏🏻🙏🏻
