Pernahkah kamu merasa hidup terus berjalan, tetapi kamu tidak benar-benar tahu ke mana arahnya? Di tengah kesibukan, keramaian, pekerjaan, pertemanan, dan berbagai tuntutan hidup, ada saat ketika pikiran tiba-tiba berhenti dan bertanya: *"Sebenarnya aku sedang mencari apa?"* Melalui rangkaian refleksi yang jujur dan personal, *Kenapa Aku Bingung?* mengajak pembaca menyusuri pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang sering hadir diam-diam dalam kehidupan:tentang kesepian, rasa berbeda, pencarian jati diri, tujuan hidup, dan upaya memahami diri sendiri. Buku ini bukan kumpulan jawaban atau nasihat tentang bagaimana hidup seharusnya dijalani. Sebaliknya, buku ini adalah teman perjalanan bagi siapa saja yang pernah merasa tersesat, terlalu banyak berpikir, atau sedang mencari makna di balik kebingungan yang dirasakannya. Karena mungkin, kebingungan bukan tanda bahwa kita kehilangan arah. Mungkin, itu tanda bahwa kita sedang bertumbuh.

Hidup tak pernah menjanjikan selamanya. Benar kata mereka, kita hanya bertamu di sini, lalu akan pulang juga, nanti. Buku ini mengajak kita menyusuri peron-peron kehidupan, menapaki tempat bersinggah yang mempertemukan dengan banyak jiwa, ada yang membawa cinta, sebagian lain membekas luka. Namun sejauh apa pun perginya, kita selalu tiba di titik yang seharusnya. Tidak tersesat, tidak salah tempat. Ditulis dengan hati yang teduh, Tiket Sekali Jalan ada untuk menemani langkahmu saat singgah, saat hilang arah, atau saat duduk sendiri menunggu reda. Terima kasih karena sudah singgah.

Adolescence has driven me crazy or were we all meant to blame adolescence?? Whom can we blame after realizing the real us? Can we afford the luxurious perfection anytime soon?

This is everything I swore I would never say out loud. So, naturally, I'm publishing it. Part social experiment, part emotional purge, this book is a diary hiding in plain sight. Updating whenever I get in my feels and need to get them out before I go insane <3 Enjoy.

Aya is miserable at her job. She's thinking of quitting, but can't seem to realize the idea, until she comes across a newspaper editorial telling her exactly to do just that. She knows the editorial is not written for her, but it sounds like it is written by her. The words, the emotions feel like hers. Maybe Modern Mr. Darcy, the editorial's author, has some sort of magical superpower. Inspired by the editorial, Aya goes from quitting her job, to flying to Batanes for a must-needed vacation. There she meets Marco, a carefree guy who gets high with adventure and who appears to be someone she can have a no-strings-attached kind of fun. Because what happens in Batanes stays in Batanes. Or not.

"Are you willing to take a leap and explore the world with me?" I'm a homebody. I love staying at the comforts of my own home, being clingy with my bed, having a date with my books while sipping my freshly brewed coffee poured in my favorite cup. I'm someone who loves routines. Everything should be properly organized and well-executed for me to consider my day a perfect one. I love being in control and planning ahead. My future has been properly laid out already-- even what happens when I die, where my assets will be given to, everything's just waiting for them to take place. I've got a plan for everything but if there's one thing that I wasn't able to anticipate, it's being a victim of the taunting quarter-life crisis. What happens if I suddenly experienced a need to have a change in environment? What happens when dissatisfaction and discontentment wash over my system? Will I be swimming along the current of the waves? Or will I drown in the vast waters of the ocean?

Life is confusing. Let me tell you why.

Every year we celebrate life. It's a blessing. It's a gift. But as we metamorphose to adulthood, we develop fears and worries. We get anxious. Every person on her or his routinary working life, asks the questions: when will I stand out? When will i get filthy rich? When will I find my soul mate? And how would I over come this life crisis? These are facts that almost everybody in their young adult life experience.

Britney has mastered the art of blaming the world. Everyone else seems to be moving forward buying houses, falling in love, building families while she feels stuck watching life pass her by. But when a single confrontation forces her to question everything she believes, Britney begins to wonder if the life she's been mourning was never stolen from her at all. A raw and emotional story about jealousy, shame, and the lies we tell ourselves.

Kehidupan menjelang dewasa tidaklah mudah, kau harus dihadapkan oleh berbagai macam kenyataan yang semakin menyakitkan, orang-orang yang dulunya dekat kian menjauh, orang yang kau harapkan tak selamanya hadir dalam setiap langkahmu. Pengalaman pahit pasti selalu dialami setiap orang, kau terkadang merasa bimbang, galau dan risau pada hidup yang terkesan membosankan. Aku mencoba berbagi cerita, tak hanya pengalaman yang pahit namun juga pengalaman manis, yang dikemas dengan bahsa yang 'mungkin' akan sulit dipahami oleh banyak orang, tetapi aku hanya ingin berbagi, semoga kalian menyukainya ^^ Salam Hangat, Manusia Biasa

Nothing. I have accomplished nothing in my life. All I have to show for my existence is my work experience in retail (awful by the way) and my uncanny ability to make friends with successful people. Take my best friend (and ex-boyfriend) Noah Ryder for example. Hollywood superstar to the world, but to my small group of friends- probably the most idiotic person you will ever meet. He's crazy and acts like a child but he makes me smile. When he's not annoying the living hell out of me. So while he's off living a life that most people only dream of- I'm either being dragged along or left alone to eat an entire pizza in one sitting whilst drowning in self-pity. Maybe I should add my that to my resumé? Charlotte Nichols- the girl who you see restocking the Tesco isles. Yes I know- I'm so famous. {Spin - off to 'The Album of You and I'}

This story started when I got my first job.

Armed with an unfinished resume, a bruised heart, and exactly zero life plans, she moves into a cramped apartment with Hiro-a baker, restaurant worker, occasional Pilates instructor, and the most confusingly kind person she's ever met.

Just a blab about what everyone at my age worry about

When I was younger, I couldn't wait to grow up. But now that I reached the age of 25, I just wish to turn back to the time when I was still young... when you are still there... when I still had the chance to accept your love. By the age of 25, I met you. Again. Do I still have the chance to tell you what I couldn't say before? Do we still have a chance?
