  My Diary of Failures: The 1980s and 1990s is a laugh-out-loud memoir that dives headfirst into the chaotic, awkward, and hilariously messy life of Kimberly Dennis. Growing up in Brooklyn during the 1980s, Kimberly navigates middle school embarrassments, disastrous family outings, and the relentless horrors of teenage fashion. By the 1990s, she's fumbling through early adulthood with a cocktail of bad decisions, failed jobs, and cringe-worthy dating misadventures—all while trying to figure out what it really means to be an adult. 
  With razor-sharp wit and unfiltered honesty, Kimberly turns her relentless string of failures into relatable, comedic triumphs. From triggering fire alarms in a college dorm to a Y2K party that ends in total disaster, her life is a series of "what not to do" moments that will leave you laughing, cringing, and rooting for her all at once. 
  This book is for anyone who's ever felt like they were one bad decision away from chaos—or who just needs a reminder that failure can be pretty damn funny.

  "Ever been so hurt that you want to go to one's mama, 
  and ask why she did not beat their butt? 
  Somehow. 
  You thought the relationship was a lasting forever, 
  but it was an artificial, long-term shortcut.  
  You didn't even know what was up. 
  You were just the Bonnie and Clyde... 
  loyal, giving peace, a symbol of good luck. 
  What God has joined together, 
  let no man put asunder. 
  How you let the enemy use you, 
  and put the relationship under? 
  Sex addiction. Infidelity. 
  Lies. Deceit. 
  Actions were supposed to be stronger. 
  The trust is gone, pain exists. 
  You don't want to be in the relationship any longer. 
  What happened to getting on your knees? 
  Praying to God over miseries. 
  Having faith and working into victories. 
  Not living your greatest fantasies? 
  Please. 
  Who's the blame? 
  Depends on how you go about it. 
  The efforts you put in 
  is what you will get out of it. 
  Do not doubt it.  
  With God, 
  all things are possible... 
  fight your way around it. 
  A relationship that God has put together, 
  is a long-term forever. 
  You will know when you've found it." -Queen Pennin ("Color Me in the Lines-A Poetry Collection of God's Markers" 2024) 
  This series reflects the transformation of being a victim, into being a survivor. Then conquering past relationship trauma. 
  Queen Pennin authors this series and revolutionizes artistry by introducing a fusion of rap, poetry, and spoken word. This series aims to encourage and motivate positive transformation through stories of relationship tragedies where self-love emerges as the ultimate triumph.

  🚨 ATTENTION PERFECTIONISTS: If you’ve ever rewritten an email 14 times, physically cringed at a typo, or spent an hour debating whether to sign off with "Best" or "Sincerely"—this book is your personal attack. 
  Do you spend an obscene amount of time making sure every minor detail of your life is flawless, only to burn out like an overheated laptop from 2006? Do you find yourself rewriting text messages to ensure they sound casual, yet professional, yet witty, yet effortless, yet not like you're trying too hard, but also not like you don’t care? 
  CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 You’re a perfectionist. And it’s ruining your life. 
  In this hilariously unhinged survival guide, we’ll explore: 
  ✅ The Art of Overthinking Everything – Why make a simple decision when you could spiral into existential dread? 
  ✅ Procrastination: The Perfectionist’s Favorite Coping Mechanism – If you never start, you never fail! Genius! 
  ✅ How to Do Everything at 110% Until You Emotionally Collapse – Sleep is for the weak. 
  ✅ Lowering Your Standards: An Incredibly Painful but Necessary Life Skill – Your 80% effort is still better than Todd’s 20%, and he got promoted. 
  By the end of this book, you won’t be cured of perfectionism (LOL, good luck with that), but you will at least understand why your brain is a flaming disaster. 
  📢 WARNING: This book contains aggressive sarcasm, brutal self-awareness, and zero practical advice on how to actually fix yourself. (Because let’s be honest, you’d just overthink it anyway.)
