From the outside, Jeremy Taylor appears to have it all: a stable job, a wonderful fiancé, and fun-loving friends, but that's because the life everyone else sees is a filter of the truth...a truth that can only be masked for so long. Under pressure from generational expectations, Jeremy begins to question his life, his purpose, and his daily actions as he navigates through heartbreak, social media, substance abuse, anxiety, fear of breaking gender norms, the awkwardness of online dating, career woes, and self loathing... But can he be brave enough to admit that it's time to change his life for the better?

From the author: Soon the world will be inherited by another generation. What kind of world will that be? What kind of world will we choose for it to be? Will we continue to support a society of crippling social media usage, lifelong student debts, and pressure to cope with life struggles by means of unnecessary pill prescriptions, or will we create a healthier more positive future through the power of our thoughts and choices? For so many of us, regardless of our age, life is often experienced and dictated by a phone screen and unhealthy coping mechanisms, while battling circumstances both unwillingly thrust upon us for survival or from our own choices. Life is not merely about existing amidst insurmountable circumstances, but instead about creating who we are and where our lives will take us through our thoughts, words, and actions.
