Here's the link and the description of my book! It's an LGBTQ+ slow-burn book that's based in Iran and myself. Though I don't have as much romance​:joy::broken_heart:

I knew that I was different my whole life.

E: Erlebnisse: the experience, positive or negative, that we feel most deeply, and through which we truly live; not mere experiences, but Experiences

I never loved Cinderella or Snow White or Jasmine.

M: Mizpah: the deep emotional bond between people, especially those separated by distance or death

Instead, I liked those who I shouldn't.

Y: Yugen: a profound awareness of the universe that triggers a deep emotional response

Even as a kid, I knew I should never talk about this.

W: Woolgathering: indulgence in idle daydreaming

I had my first true friends in high school.

O: Orenda: a mystical force present in all people that empowers them to affect the world or to effect changes in their own lives

But will they accept me if they realize how I am?

M: Metanoia: the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self, or way of life

I realized that there are people like me in countries more opener than mine.

N: Numinous: describing an experience that makes you fearful yet fascinated, awed yet attracted the powerful, personal feeling of being overwhelmed and inspired

But no one even talks about it here, and I don't think many others even know that such a forbidden attraction is even possible.

A: Alpas: to become free, to break loose

How can I accept something that even I can't help but think of as unnatural? How am I ever going to love me? How am I ever going to find love in here? Is it better to live a lie? How am I even going to be able to live?

A/N as someone who lived her whole life in Iran and having to deal with things like knowing that I can get hard punishment for just being who I am, I needed to express myself one way or another.
To just make people hear my voice even if it's through another person. This is me shouting out to people around the world.

I've been reading your book so far and I love it. I've always admired authors who put a piece of themselves in their work so boldly. Imma put my book here if you wanna read it, it has a lot of myself in it as well.
