Broken Boy: Trying to figure out life

BROKEN BOY - TRYING TO FIGURE OUT LIFE
by Fabian Arnold

Broken Boy is a raw look back at the lessons I've learned through my own struggles with mental health, the setbacks that nearly broke me, and the small victories that kept me going. This book isn't just my story; it's a collection of insights, reflections, and lessons inspired by other books, documentaries, and speeches that helped me find shortcuts along the way. It's for anyone who's ever felt stuck, out of place, or unsure of how to keep moving forward.

Whether you're searching for meaning, trying to overcome your past, or simply hoping to build a life that finally feels like your own, Broken Boy is here to guide you. Think of it as a summary of everything I've gathered on this journey called life-a guide to help you find strength, face your fears, and create a future that feels true to you. Sometimes, the answers we need are already within us; we just have to go through the tough stuff to bring them to light.

"Life is like a rollercoaster filled with ups and downs and as soon as we learn to enjoy the ride we can find the true purpose in life. The only thing about life is that we cant just buy another ticket when it's over. So f*ck it, and live."

Since childhood, I always felt like something was a bit "off" in my head, like I was on the outside, watching life go by without quite fitting in. In my head I felt broken. As I grew older, life threw plenty of curveballs my way-depression, heartbreak and the constant pressure to fit in. I never really knew what I wanted, and for a long time, I was just trying to find my place. After successful studies as as an insurance merchant, I went to Australia and eventually found myself drawn into a new life as a model, actor, and writer, now navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood.
