Myself vs My old self

Myself vs My Old Self is an intimate journey through the quiet fractures and quiet rebirths that shape a life. Alexander Goodman guides the reader through memories, loss, emotional exhaustion, quiet victories, and the endless tension between the person we once were and the one we become after each silent collapse. Blending poetic prose, philosophical reflection, and sharp, ironic humor, the book explores identity, grief, nostalgia, and the strange comfort found in the absurd. Here, the past doesn’t vanish it lingers, watches, questions, and sometimes aches. Each fragment reveals a tender, raw form of persistence: continuing when meaning dissolves, feeling when the world demands numbness, learning to live with the ghosts we created ourselves. ⠀This is not a book of answers, but of courage the courage to confront our contradictions, to face the versions of ourselves we abandoned, and to discover what remains after every goodbye. A haunting, honest portrait of what it means to stay alive inside your own story.
