“Azia manages to tell a story so wholly personal and yet so effortlessly relatable. The story of a young girl’s perception of self - and the challenges she faces as she sheds and rebuilds it - helped me accept the girl I used to be and gave me key skills to improve the woman I am becoming…”
Katie’s Amazon Review - Rest the rest below
Then someone close to me who was experiencing the same mental exhaustion summed it up even better: “I’m tired of being tired”.
It was at that point when I realized I had enough.
I wanted to do something with my life where I didn’t feel meaningless anymore. I wanted to feel safe again. I wanted to detangle myself out of toxic relationships and start fresh.
So I tried to write myself out of misery and started an anonymous blog...
This coming-of-age book inspires women to release themselves from toxic relationships, sexualized body standards, and the expectations of others. What first started as an online, anonymous blog on Wattpad turned into a book that has changed lives and helped women heal and grow into something bigger than themselves.
Being severely depressed as a teenager isn’t easy.
At 21-years-old, Azia To compiled the written pieces of her darkest and brightest days into a collection of real-life text-messages, poems and diary-styled pieces that encapsulate her healing journey.
Tired of Being Tired, Sick of Being Sad encourages women how to be vulnerable without regret; choose faith over fear and that you aren’t alone in your healing process.
I asked people what keeps them up at night, what sets them back and how would it feel if they could overcome those insecurities.
These people never shared anything like this with the public! Being open about a weakness is scary but these individuals chose vulnerability to celebrate my book release, and I’m forever thankful for that.
I hope the truths of these people resonate with you - as we always find a bit of ourselves in other people. We are never alone.

Still unsure if you want to take that leap of faith? No worries. I’ll let people (who are just like you) speak about how much of an investment my book was and how it transformed their lives.
