Book Cover & Preview Text
SELFISH EMPATHY I've hurt, but it's you whose hurting. I'm happy I'm not there, in your shoes. They were once mine, and I stood just as you. Withered and weak dying to lose. It pains me to look on your struggle. It is life and death you juggle. Allow me favor for this, and Behold, see my fate twist. If I help you, you shall worship me. If I help you, you belong to me. Your pain, your wounds. Your blood is staining my hands. Your empty stomach is making mine growl. Your thirst chaps my lips. I will help you but to help me. For my glory, for my benefit. Because your pain pains me, And I am full of selfish empathy

About the Author
Once a passionate dreamer brimming with curiosity and confidence, Myranda found herself stripped of independent outliers and plans for a future. Suddenly she knew nothing of who she was. The consequential feeling of identity loss was as though she’d forgotten how to be. Forgotten who Myranda, as an individual, lived, the things she loved, what made her laugh, cry, and even what she feared most. It became pertinent that she finds herself behind the words, and break free from society’s neatly categorized boxes. Today, Myranda is a survivor, a mother, and a follower of God. She is passionate about spirituality, creativity, the arts, and her role as a mother. In a world that tells us what to be and how to live, she prides herself on seeking real purpose through faith and challenging the status quo.
