⭐️ Harry's STORY ⭐️
Lost Before I Was Found
After about a year of writing, Harry Janes was proud to finally share his book:
𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬
A raw, honest and deeply personal story about growing up with anxiety, facing bullying, being judged for simply being yourself, and quietly trying to find your place in the world.
Have you ever felt like you don't belong — like everyone else is moving forward while you're stuck trying to figure out where you fit?
Harry's story explores what it truly feels like to be lost. Through deeply personal moments — from panic before school and feeling "different", to finding confidence through dance and navigating the pressures of growing up — the book shares an honest look at experiences that many people may recognise in their own lives.
But Lost Before I Was Found isn't only a story about difficult moments. It's a story about resilience, growth and hope.
It's about the people who quietly save you.
The moments that bring you back to yourself.
And learning that healing isn't about having everything figured out — it's about choosing to keep going.
Nearly 100 copies sold. ❤️
Since the book was released in March, Harry has been incredibly proud to be close to reaching 100 copies sold — a huge milestone for a story that started as nothing more than an idea and a year of writing.
But for Harry, the number isn't the most important part.
It's the message behind the story.
You will be found.
You might feel lost right now. You might feel like you don't belong, that you're falling behind, or that you'll never find where you fit.
But being lost doesn't mean you'll stay lost.
Harry wants Lost Before I Was Found to remind people that you don't need to have everything figured out today. Your journey is still being written, and there is always the possibility of finding your way.
You're not there yet. But you're no longer where you were.
And one day, you will be found. ❤️
