Review of Don't Mind Me, I'm Just Having a Bad Life
[Following is a volunteer review of "Don't Mind Me, I'm Just Having a Bad Life" by Lewis Kempfer.]
Don’t mind me, I’m just having a bad life is a memoir. Lewis Kempfer decided to pen down the adventures and misadventures that governed his life from when he was four till he started the book. The 444-page book captured everything that happened in his life.
Growing up, he had a taskmaster as a father. His father pushed him to do things beyond his age. He didn’t believe in his son. No matter how hard Lewis tried, his father wasn’t pleased. That made him depressed. Having already had such a bad upbringing, Lewis didn’t have a good father, nor an older brother, nor even a best friend. When he failed to please his father or anyone else, he vented his rage on his body and injured himself. This also continued into his adulthood.
Having no male character in his life, Lewis admired guys. He wanted to be like them. He wanted to be friends with them. From admiration for their lifestyle, he ended up being sexually attracted to them, which resulted in him being homosexual.
Although he had his dream job, he found himself depressed without a companion, so he was addicted to guys and drugs. He never wanted to stop, even though he would have died on two or more occasions. Every time he felt that way, he’d pray to God for deliverance, and God would save him. Unfortunately, Lewis went back to his old life—well, until he fully came to see what the presence of God was doing in his life. In Don’t mind me, I’m just having a bad life by Lewis Kempfer, Lewis captured every tragic moment, funny moments, and more especially, his redemption moment.
One thing that intrigued me in this book was that irrespective of how he hated himself and how depression seeped into him, he was able to chase his dreams, he was able to strive to attain what he loved doing. Although he couldn’t continue schooling, he strived to attain the requirements of being on the production team at Disney. My favorite part of this book was when he found the person that changed his life forever. The man made him pursue his dream further, encouraged him, and inspired him. That man also played an important role in making Lewis grow.
This book is suitable for older teens and young adults. It’ll help people that are addicted to drugs, because if Lewis could fight it, they can too. Though it captured his Christian moments, the book wasn’t too religious. It’s just a book that should be read by adolescents. Since this book contains gay slang and scenes, many homophobic people wouldn’t find it thrilling.
I'd give Don’t mind me, I’m just having a bad life a four out of four because it was edited perfectly, it is enlightening, relatable, and enjoyable to read.
