Broken Boy: Trying to figure out life.

A reflective memoir about identity, ambition, loneliness, and finding your place in the world.

Why I wrote it

I wrote Broken Boy during a time in my life where I was trying to understand who I really was — while chasing dreams, navigating insecurities, and trying to find where I belonged.

Through travels, conversations, setbacks, and lessons from people I met along the way, I started reflecting on what life was actually teaching me. Writing became a way to process those experiences and summarize the things I had learned so far — about identity, ambition, self-worth, growth, and becoming.

This book became the first honest conversation I had opening up about my thoughts.

A look inside

"I spend several hours under my blanket crying. - Why? - Because I wanted to hide from school, from people that didn't like me, from not being comfortable in my own skin. From life. 

On the outside everything looked fine. On the inside I felt like a Broken Boy.


A lot has happened since then. When I look in the mirror I dont see the same person anymore. Somehow the world has changed. Or maybe I have changed?!


How did I make it from a small town in Germany to Hollywood?

What is the meaning of life?

How can I be happy?


This is a summary of what I have learned and realized on all my travels, situations and the journey called "life".

-> a summary for you to take shortcuts.

I hope you enjoy! Fabs"

A note from me

"If this book helps even one person feel less alone in what they’re going through, then writing it was worth it.

We all go through moments where life breaks us a little. My hope is that Broken Boy reminds you that healing, growth, and rebuilding are possible."
