Defective V.2 is an extremely loaded rollercoaster honestly. In some ways, as my second book, it does pick up where the last one ends...chronologically. It so happens I was forced into a dark corner again, this time facing similar, but vastly different demons. The book is not all negative though; much of it is how my perspectives have changed on life in the past year or so, which have been massive. The point, I think though, of Defective V.2 is much larger than the poetry and metaphor the book contains. I attempted to explore perception and perspective in many new ways with my writing; this allowed me to see much more than what was in front of my eyes. In doing so I helped myself in many ways. Too often people with mood disorders or other psychological illnesses are treated much differently, and you will see that I experienced this firsthand. My experiences have shown me many new outlooks, and I think the book reflects that.
