Built Different & Wired For More

What happens when you don't fit into the boxes the world tries to shove you into?Born into a world of expectations and silence, Chase Smith, an Army veteran, trans man, and blue-collar worker, never had the luxury of "normal." From childhood trauma and military service to battling PTSD, gender dysphoria, and deep depression, Chase opens the door to the parts of life most people are too afraid to talk about.In this raw, unapologetic memoir, Chase strips away the filters and lays bare what it means to rebuild yourself from the inside out. This is not a pity story, it's a story of pressure forging resilience, of pain becoming purpose, and of choosing to live life unapologetically outside the lines.If you've ever felt like the world wasn't built for someone like you, this book will remind you that maybe you weren't built for the world. Maybe you were built for more.
