The Diary of an Oxygen Thief I have always been a fighter. Life has thrown me some hard edges in the past, but my love for living never left me. I know what I want to do with my life and how I want to do it—and that's to be happy. When you know you're going to die someday, what's the point in living if it causes nothing but anger and regret? There must be more out there when it comes to living your life without fear. Is there something better than accepting death? What am I missing? Inside a hollowed-out tree near the White House, a little girl named June starts her journey on becoming an oxygen thief. She has always been different, and she's beginning to see that her differences are causing more problems than they're worth. Her father is being imprisoned for being a meth-addict, her mother is trying to survive in this drug world, and June is on the cusp of taking her own life. Her uncle tries everything he can think of to save her—but the clock's ticking. Will June be able to live with the knowledge of what she is about to do? Or will she be able to save herself? This story took place in my early twenties during the summer before my senior year of high school. It was never meant to be anything more than a thesis project that I wrote for college. However, the story kept growing with me as I traveled, and it turned into something more than what I was originally envisioning. It became a life-changing experience for me, and has now become my only known work. I've had one reader out of all of my readers tell me that they were able to identify with the characters that I created through the story. This means that it's done what I intended with it! I honestly believe that everyone can relate to this book in one way or another. One of the main characters struggles with depression, which is common among teenagers today; another tries to cope with her addiction; and yet another is still dealing with the loss of his mother. I think every human being has experienced something like this at one point. This book deals with some sensitive topics, but I believe that everyone can understand what the characters are feeling within the first few pages. I know that this is not an easy subject; however, I feel that people should be able to recognize the parallels in their own lives. The fact that my story was able to connect with someone like this makes me very happy. I really believe that there's something to be said for sharing your experiences with others; it helps you realize things about yourself and about life; it helps you overcome adversity; and it helps you move on from your problems. It may sound cliche, but I truly believe it's true. The reason I write is to move on from my past and to look forward to my future. I hope that everyone can take something positive out of this story; it's my life, and I hope that at least one person finds some solace in it. Alex: How did you come up with the title: Diary of an Oxygen Thief? (When I look back and think about how long it took me to write this book, I realize how crazy the title is.) It sounds like something out of a movie. cfa1e77820
