My book
About ten years ago I began writing a blog which turned into a memoir. I called it, ‘I Must be a Mermaid (deep fear of shallow living)’ - inspired by Anais Nin’s quote: ‘I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living’
I had so many emotional reviews and DMs from women who related to my words and were moved by my story, but I always felt the book still had more to give.
Over the last four years (as well as running my art and tattoo business) I editing the whole text, re-writing parts which revealed themselves more and more to me, bit by bit.
Today, it is the book I always wanted it to be.
The text is a bit longer, the ending is a little different, the story is essentially the same. Everything just goes a bit 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐫.
No fear of depths
Deep LUST, Deep ART, Deep GRIEF, Deep LOVE
a memoir
By Charlene Hickey
Description:
Everyone says that balance and moderation is the answer, perhaps that’s true in most cases. But during her transition from shy, young girl to brave, rebellious woman, it was the extremes which bought Charlene the most clarity and freedom in her life.
In her late teens Charlene is living life to the max, exploring her creativity and bisexuality. Adulthood brings harder things to navigate: death, heartbreak, purpose.
Attempting to control her fears pushes her into bulimia, a desire for meaning leads her to extraordinary people across the globe, erotic curiosity sends her to her deepest depths.
