Some breakups end relationships. This one cracked the world open.

We all have them—the people and dreams we give too much power to. The boss whose opinion defines the day. The partner who became everything. The parent whose approval is always one achievement away. The friend who holds all the power. The dream that consumed it all.

When they fall—when they leave, fail us, or we finally see clearly—everything cracks open.

What This Is:

A 190-day visual memoir after betrayal revealed every false god ever worshipped. Each day pairs one song lyric with original artwork, an honest emotion, and a raw reflection on what happens when the altars crumble.

This isn’t about moving on or finding closure. This is about recognition—seeing clearly that you’ve been worshipping things that were always going to let you down. Not because they’re bad, but because they’re human. Or jobs. Or dreams that were never yours.

Part art book. Part memoir. Part reckoning with how we give our power away.

All truth. No bullshit.

The Journey:

THE DEATH (Days 1-30) — When the god falls
THE GRIEF (31-60) — The weight of what was given away
THE ANGER (61-90) — At them, at yourself, at the system
THE QUESTIONING (91-120) — How did they become everything?
THE CLARITY (121-150) — Seeing the patterns
THE AWAKENING (151-180) — Understanding what was real
THE BEGINNING (181-190) — Building without worship

The Gods Take Many Forms:

The Boss — Whose feedback feels like a report card on your worth
The Partner — Who became your whole world without anyone noticing
The Parent — Whose approval you’re still chasing decades later
The Friend — Whose validation you need before you know what you think
The Dream — That’s consumed years, sacrifices, every backup plan

Different faces. Same pattern. They became the altar. You became the worshipper.

This is what happens when you stop bowing.

This Book Is For You If:

Someone or something has too much power over how you feel about yourself
You’ve lost yourself in a person, job, or dream
You’re exhausted from performing, pleasing, perfecting, pursuing
You just lost what you built your identity around
You’re seeing patterns in who and what you worship—and you’re ready to stop
You need proof others survived their gods falling
You want honesty, not inspiration. Reality, not platitudes. Art, not advice.

What’s Inside:

Each of 190 days includes:

One song lyric that cut through the noise
One original artwork from the aftermath
One honest emotion, named without apology
One raw reflection on the reckoning

No neat conclusions. No “everything happens for a reason.” Just the daily practice of showing up, feeling it, and making something from it.

The Story:

The job loss cracked everything open. But it wasn’t just about the boss who walked away without looking back.

It was about the partner who’d become the entire world. The parent whose approval had been chased for decades. The friend who’d held every secret and all the power. The dream that had consumed everything.

Different faces. Same pattern: giving power away. Building altars. Worshipping at temples that were always going to crumble.

This book is 190 days of excavation. Not just about one god, but all of them. Every false altar. Every time power was handed over to something that was never going to save you.

The death of false gods—plural. The grief. The anger. The questioning. The clarity. The awakening.

It’s not pretty. But it’s honest. And it’s proof you can survive all your gods dying—and maybe even become whole in the aftermath.

Perfect For:

Anyone rebuilding after a relationship, job, friendship, or dream fell apart
People tired of giving their power away
Gifts for someone going through unwanted transitions
Coffee table book lovers who appreciate raw honesty and beautiful art
Music lovers who process life through lyrics
Anyone who made someone or something their religion—and lived to tell about it

If losing it would destroy you, you’ve been worshipping.

This is what happens when those gods fall—and what grows in the space they leave behind.
