Finding-yourself Stories

This isn't a story. It doesn't follow a straight line, and it doesn't promise a perfect ending. This is a collection of poetry- a quiet chaos of thoughts, emotions, and moments that refuse to stay unspoken. It follows a girl who slowly lost her light, not all at once, but in pieces- trying to fit into everyone else's expectations, trying to become someone the world would accept. Until one day, she realizes... she was never meant to shrink herself to be seen. These poems trace her journey- from self-doubt to self-worth, from losing herself to finding her way back. Some pages may feel like memories. Some may feel like confessions. And some... might feel a little too familiar. This book isn't meant to be read in a hurry. It's meant to be felt.

Story Summary: Edikan grew up in a house where love existed, but attention didn't. While other children were praised and noticed, he learned early what it felt like to be invisible. A simple "well done," a smile, or someone listening to him was all he ever wanted but those moments rarely came. As he grew older, the hunger to be seen followed him everywhere. He tried to please everyone, trusted too easily, and gave his heart to people who only used his need for attention. Each betrayal left deeper scars, reminding him of the lonely boy he once was. But life has a strange way of teaching the hardest lessons. After being hurt one too many times, Daniel begins to realize something important: the attention he chased his whole life could never define his worth. His journey from invisibility to self-discovery becomes a powerful reminder that sometimes the person we need to see us the most... is ourselves.

This is a collection of poems about the quiet things people don't always see. About being the friend who is always there but never chosen. About looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person staring back. About heartbreak, anger, loneliness, and learning how to survive feelings that feel too heavy to carry. Some poems are soft. Some are angry. Some are honest in ways that might feel uncomfortable. But every poem is real. If you've ever felt invisible, misunderstood, or like you were meant for something more than the life you're living right now, these words might feel familiar.

In a haze of loneliness and forgotten memories, a young girl finds comfort in a mysterious presence that blooms into an unlikely friendship which draws her closer to reality -until it begins to fade, forcing her to choose between holding on and letting go.

It is a story of healing, self-improvement, slow-burn romance, and a love that waited silently for years.

Eklavya Rajvansh : "Sometimes, the greatest tragedy isn't the loss we suffer, but the way we lose ourselves in the aftermath." Eklavya is what remains after everything meaningful is taken without warning. The loss of his family did not teach him strength-it stripped him of it. He is not searching for redemption. Only for a moment where the silence inside him finally breaks. __________ Ruhani : "You get used to things you never thought you would. Not because they stop hurting... but because you get tired of reacting to the same pain every single day." There is something unfinished about Ruhani, as if life paused midway and never resumed. Known for her beauty and sharp presence, she exists in a world that takes more than it gives. Her eyes speak of things left unsaid, her voice hides more than it offers. Strength defines her, not softness. Whatever she has lost, she has buried deep enough to keep moving. ___________ Eklavya was raised to believe some places should never be entered, some lines never crossed. Yet grief has a way of erasing instruction. In a brothel where everything has a price, he finds the one thing he cannot afford-Ruhani, a woman who does not believe in anything that lasts. In a place where everything ends the moment it begins, they start to linger. A question forms where certainty once lived: can something real exist in a world built on pretense? Or is this-whatever this is-just another illusion they're both too tired to resist? What draws a man to the very thing he was taught to resist? What keeps him there, long after the reason has dissolved? Dive in this heart wrenching yet heartwarming tale to know!
