Step into the heartfelt world of G.E.B.S. GEBShelton through Oh Wait; That Was NEVER Me!, a deeply moving memoir exploring the lasting scars of bullying, identity, and resilience. With unflinching honesty and a touch of wit, GEBShelton invites readers to reflect on their own experiences while unpacking the emotional weight of childhood trauma and societal expectations. More than a simple retelling, this book serves as a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or labeled unfairly.
Through vivid storytelling that blends humor with vulnerability, Oh Wait traverses memories both sharp and hazy from living above a dry cleaner in Chicago to feeling the sting of cruel nicknames and the quiet triumph of finding one’s voice. Each chapter peels back layers of memory, offering a raw look at the confusion of growing up under the weight of others’ assumptions, and the courage it takes to reclaim one’s narrative.
This isn't just a story of pain — it's a testament to survival. GEBShelton shares how moments of music, art class, numbers, family, and self-reflection became lifelines. It’s a story about how the scars of bullying may fade from view but remain etched into the soul, like a tattoo permanent, sometimes painful, yet uniquely ours.
Oh Wait; That Was NEVER Me! is for anyone who’s questioned their place, their worth, or their memory. It’s for the quiet kids, the misunderstood artists, the “class clowns turned invisible,” and those who turned their solitude into self-knowledge.
GEBShelton doesn’t just recall the past he transforms it into something meaningful. In this essential read, find comfort, camaraderie, and courage to face your own story and perhaps, begin to rewrite it.
