Fed up with life like a pot about to boil over, Under Cover of Darkness: A Look Inside the ridiculous and pitiful life of a so-called beautiful girl explores the life and mind of a seemingly sane and intelligent yet confused unemployed accountant turned artist that just can’t seem to live life right. Author J. Nicole candidly expresses her turmoil and aggravation going through the motions of life feeling like such a total failure, which has brought her to a point of utter chaos, bleakness and frustration.
She scours her mind for answers, analyzing her life’s purpose. Posing and attempting to seek the answers to such questions as…Why have things turned out the way they are? What is the millionth lesson to be learned? Why can’t good things just happen? Do I even have a purpose worth living for?
J.Nicole gets down to the real point of the matter. She sheds light on how things just aren’t like they used to be. Even the simplest things…like good entertainment. Not to mention how life can just be so monotonous – why can’t we break the routine. “Society expects so much yet what does it give in return. A typical paycheck…a measly pension after what seems like a lifetime of working…what is this?” Who wants to work their whole life feeling as if they have yet to live with a purpose? I’m tired of it! J. Nicole poignantly describes it, “as if you’re pinned in a corner with the walls closing in on you feeling saturated as if the pressures of life’s obligations just won’t release you to come up for air. You’re beginning to feel smothered with the thought of no way out.”
She candidly shares her social inadequacies paralleled with her inability, as it seems to prosper in a 9 to 5 or let alone in business…wondering what else is left? What is my purpose or do I even care to figure it out? Her mental turmoil is highlighted by sporadic bouts of depression, loneliness and frustration, as she struggles to withstand the evil thoughts urging to just end it all – sometimes finding that silver lining that someday soon this mere fragment of stone in the dark will someday shine as a diamond in the light and live life to the fullest – with a sense of passion, and a purpose for living.
This book will encourage people to reflect on their own lives, and find relief that there’s someone else they can relate to…because they never know what someone else’s life is like behind closed doors.
