STILL THERE: The Want You Buried Is Waiting (Purple Collection) Paperback – April 29, 2026

You know that feeling. The one that never quite goes away. That quiet pull toward something you used to want, or maybe still do — the version of yourself you set down somewhere along the way and told yourself you'd come back to. This is a book about that.Somewhere between responsibility and routine, you put something in a drawer. A dream. A calling. A creative life you almost started. And you told yourself it was over — but it wasn't. It went quiet. It waited. And it is still there.Still There is not a self-help manual. It is a permission slip. Over 19 honest, illustrated chapters, this workbook walks beside you — not ahead of you — as you find your way back to the want you never truly lost. Each chapter moves through the psychology of buried desire: why we silence what we want, the forces that work against us, and how to take the first real steps back toward the life that was always yours to live.But this is not just a book to read. It is a book to use. Every chapter includes journaling prompts to open the investigation, comic strips to cut through the noise, crossword puzzles and word searches to keep you engaged, and original coloring pages to slow you down and let the ideas land. Pencil in hand. Colored pencils close. Fully interactive from the first page to the last.Topics covered include: understanding the signal that never fully disappears — recognizing and naming the enemies that buried your wants — uncovering the hidden wants you stopped confessing — building the skills and conditions for a real return — finding your people and protecting your progress — and finally arriving at the moment your want becomes your identity."Every hour is a gift you give your future self."Still There is Volume 1 of the Purple Collection — an ongoing illustrated workbook series from Blunt Point Press.
