I Didn't Start Living Until I Thought I Was Dying - The Hero's Journey

Written by Duane Bowser

The Greater the pain, The louder the laughter

So much is hidden in laughter, and so much is revealed when we don’t cry. I learned early on that pain doesn’t always scream, sometimes, it jokes. It entertains. It smiles in front of a crowd, then suffers in silence. That’s what I did. That’s what so many of us do.

You see, the greater the pain, the louder the laughter not because we’re okay, but because we’re trying to survive. And the louder the laughter, the quieter the cries, not because we don’t hurt, but because we were never given the space to fall apart.

This story is not just about struggle, it’s about silence, strength, and what happens when you carry your wounds so long they start to look like personality traits. It’s about learning to love when you were raised in survival. It’s about what happens when a little boy grows up in chaos and still finds a way to dream. Still finds a reason to fight. Still finds the courage to write this book.

If you’ve ever smiled when you wanted to scream, or held in tears because you thought no one would care, this is for you. 

Welcome to my story.
