I wanted to be chosen. But before I asked someone to choose me, I had to ask myself a harder question: Was I ready to be the woman beside him? I was never afraid of his love. I was afraid of myself. Afraid that the unfinished parts of my life would become a burden to someone I loved. Afraid that I would enter a marriage still carrying wounds I had not learned to understand. Afraid that, in wanting to be loved, I might forget the One I was supposed to return to first. So I stopped. Not because I did not want him. Not because I doubted his heart. But because I wanted him to meet the woman I was becomingnot the woman who was still falling apart.

A story about the passage from life into eternity, where death becomes not an ending, but the beginning of a journey toward self-understanding. The protagonist, a journalist who spent her life telling other people's stories, suddenly faces her own mortality. In the moment of transition, her consciousness separates from her body, and she finds herself before the Traveler - a mysterious guide who grants final wishes and leads souls to their truth. Through memories, light, and revelations, she is forced to confront what she never had time to face in life: her unspoken desires, her hidden love, and the meaning behind everything she once believed was ordinary. A poetic, emotional tale about acceptance, love, and the quiet rebirth that comes after the last heartbeat.

Some connections don't begin with love. They begin with distance. With misunderstandings. With words that were never said. This is the story of two people who didn't fall for each other instantly- they slowly noticed, resisted, questioned, and felt. No dramatic romance. No perfect characters. Just real emotions, quiet struggles, family ties, inner conflicts, and the kind of love that grows when two people learn to sit with silence instead of running from it. If you believe love doesn't always arrive loudly- this story is for you. Arohi Sharma Arohi is not broken, but she is tired. Tired of explaining herself. Tired of being strong all the time. She comes from a close-knit middle-class family where emotions are felt deeply but rarely spoken out loud. Responsible, observant, and emotionally intelligent, Arohi often puts others first-even when it costs her peace. She doesn't believe in dramatic love stories. She believes in safety, honesty, and emotional stability. And yet, there is a quiet longing inside her she has never learned to name. Kabir Mehra Kabir is calm on the outside and restless within. He doesn't talk much-not because he has nothing to say, but because he has learned that words are often misunderstood. He carries his responsibilities silently, shaped by family expectations and past emotional distance. Kabir believes in control, routine, and logic-but emotions have a way of slipping through the cracks. He doesn't chase relationships. He observes them. And sometimes, he feels more than he allows himself to admit.

The Quiet of Growth: A Poetry Book on Emotional Development This book began as a whisper - a small desire to understand myself more honestly, more gently, more fully. I didn't set out to write a map of emotional growth. I simply followed the threads of my own becoming, one poem at a time, until they formed something whole.

Anu wakes up one morning to find her shadow has vanished, replaced by empty light. While her life appears normal to her mother and friends, Anu feels "alien" as she watches their shadows behave predictably . Eventually, she realizes her shadow hasn't truly left; it has separated because it grew too heavy with the parts of herself she suppressed-her fears, failed passions, and hidden talents. To reclaim it, Anu must stop trying to fit in and instead embrace the "buried" parts of her identity. The story follows her journey from disconnection to self-acceptance, culminating in the return of her shadow once she finds the courage to be herself.

What if your power didn't come from control but surrender? Higher Law is not about religion. It's about remembering. Remembering who made you. Who sustains you. Who breaks you just enough to shape you. This chapter is for the ones who feel chosen but burdened. The ones who want to rise but keep getting humbled. It's a raw blueprint for what happens when you stop chasing validation and start walking in alignment with something higher than you. This isn't about being holy. It's about being used. Used for something greater. Used for something divine. And most of all, used on purpose.

What if every choice you ever made could be undone - and redone - just by stepping through the right door? Amari Sloane is twenty, lost, and quietly unraveling. After a lifetime of carrying guilt, grief, and dreams she buried long ago, she stumbles across something impossible - a glowing portal inside an abandoned bookstore mirror. On the other side is a version of her life she never lived. A version where she's happy. Whole. Free. The doors begin to appear when she least expects them: in mirrors, in reflections, in dreams. Each one opens to a different reality - one decision changed, one path taken, one wound never made. But the more Amari steps into the versions of who she could've been, the harder it becomes to face who she really is. And the longer she stays, the more the portals begin to close... for good. A story of healing, heartbreak, and hope, Through Her Own Doors is a beautifully haunting exploration of second chances, self-discovery, and the bravery it takes to rewrite your ending - by reclaiming your beginning.

Two dreams, separated by more than a decade. One takes place in a radiant celebration where humanity congratulates itself for a mysterious accomplishment. The other unfolds in the darkest corners of human suffering, among the forgotten and the broken. And yet, somehow, they are the same dream. This piece explores connection, humility, service, and the strange way meaning sometimes reveals itself only years after the question is asked.

Law -Conservation of Energy. Principle - Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it must simply transform. Love so pure no space could hold it. yet it grew beyond desire. It conversed in silence, then dispersed - transforming the healer into the healed.
