Chapter 31
Chapter 31 represents a critical point in my struggle with the conservatorship, where I began to question the contradictions and the manipulation at play in my life.

Yet, after it was established, I was sent to work, appearing on How I Met Your Mother and embarking on a grueling world tour. This contradiction didn’t make sense to me. On one hand, I…-

Chapter 29
Chapter 29 was the beginning of a chilling winter in my life, both literally and emotionally, even under the California sun. Los Angeles, with its endless blue skies and palm trees, usually doesn’t feel seasonal. But in January 2008, everything around me seemed cold and distant, not because of the weather—but because I felt deeply alone. While others sipped iced drinks and strolled in flip-flops, I was dealing with a breakdown that landed me in the hospital. My behavior had become erratic. I was on a…-

My mother barely acknowledged me, and I felt invisible to her, like my appearance was all that mattered. It was an extremely painful reminder that the world often cares more about physical appearance than the inner struggles someone is going through. I had been…-
