Raw, deeply introspective essays about mental health - Rated 5 stars by Readers' Favorite Temporary Beauty is a collection of memories, poetic ponderings, travel adventures, journal entries, nightmares, and love stories, following Myles through her picturesque childhood in the Blue Ridge Mountains and on to her adventure-filled twenties as a photographer in the Pacific Northwest, discovering herself as an artist. After her diagnosis of panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and OCD in high school, she spent her college years struggling to find her footing, finding solace in art, meditation, and travel. Temporary Beauty is a reflection of what it means to be a career-driven woman in modern society, an honest and unapologetic account of the darkness that mental illness can bring, and a conscious reminder of the fragility and beauty of human existence. "And regardless of my mental illness, deep down I do believe that the day will come when I can walk through the woods, alone, and feel not an ounce of sadness or crippling fear. The grass will be filled with neon-green four-leaf clovers, and delicate pink blossoms will hang silently from the perfectly silhouetted fog-lined trees. I will smile to myself about all that I've accomplished. I'll be proud of myself for defeating my unhinged mind. But that would mean that I'd have to have won the ultimate battle. The one between me and my anxiety. The one battle that never seems to end." - From Temporary Beauty
