    PLEASE SUPPORT THIS STORY 🫶🥺 "Between... Almost... and Never." She had everything. A life people envied. And yet... it never felt like enough. Not until she met someone... who felt like everything she was missing... but never... chose her. He was kind. He understood her. He saw her... in ways no one ever did. Just not... in the way she needed. Because sometimes... you can be everything... and still... not be the one.

    This is a psychological and autobiographical piece about how suicidal thoughts can form not as a desire for death, but as a desire for rest. Using the metaphor of "leaving work," it explores burnout, endurance, and what happens when survival becomes an ongoing obligation instead of a choice.

    There's not much to say. This is for every teenage girl who thought there was something wrong with her. Me included. I know there isn't. You know there isn't. But living with that feeling (be left behind) is hard. Realizing that sometimes people just don't like you. Still, I believe everything happens for a reason. And that thought is what both keeps me going... and scares me like hell.

    We met again, but not as we once were. A poetic reflection of what it feels like to see someone from your past-not with longing not with pain, but with a quiet kind of growth. A short piece that captures the bittersweet moment where healing meets memory... and chooses to walk on.

    It was just one look. But now he's in my head like a song I can't stop playing. Love on the Brain is a raw, reflective journey through the emotional illusions we build when we feel too much and say too little. It's about overthinking a smile, rewriting a conversation that never happened, and falling for the idea of someone more than the reality. It's about the pain of being invisible, the trap of comparing yourself to "her," and the ache of not knowing why they don't see you the way you see them. Told in journal-style chapters, this book dives into the mental spirals girls experience when feelings don't make sense - and when no one else seems to understand how heavy a crush can really feel. This isn't a story about falling in love. It's about why we fall - even when there's nothing real to land on.

    They met at the wrong time and did everything right. Meera believes emotions should be controlled. Aarav believes responsibilities should never be questioned. Between shared silences, unspoken understanding, and lines they refuse to cross, something irreversible begins to grow. Not a relationship. Not an affair. Just a quiet love with no place to exist. This is a story about restraint, dignity, and the kind of love that never becomes a choice, only a memory. Not every soulmate is meant to stay. Some are meant to hurt you gently and leave.

    A story about holding on when no one asked you to. He didn't stop loving me with a goodbye. He just... stopped showing up. No slammed doors. No final words. Just silence - and stickers. And a cup he still uses every day. The one I sent him when I still believed I mattered. This is not a love story. It's a story about presence. About naming someone who no longer names you back. About staying soft even when they forget the weight of your softness. Written as a mirror - not a diary. This book is for the people who stayed: When no one asked you to. When no one noticed you did. When no one remembered how much it cost you. Each chapter is a quiet ache. Each word is a step toward letting go - without leaving. A slow unraveling of what it means to stay loyal to someone who already let go. If you've ever named someone with your whole heart... and watched them treat it like a sticker - this story is yours. And maybe... theirs too. Even if they never realize it.

    We didn't fall in love loudly. There were no dramatic beginnings, no promises meant to last forever. Just two people meeting at the exact moment they were tired of being alone. What we had was simple. Instinctive. Private. A language made of small words and shared silence. Of affection that didn't need poetry to be profound. But love has a way of teaching lessons before we realize we're students. This book is not about heartbreak in its final form. It's about the quieter damage the waiting, the forgiving, the absences that arrive gently and leave violently. It's about how happiness can train you to endure loss, and how understanding someone does not always mean they will stay. We Practiced Goodbye Without Knowing is a story of love that felt endless only because its ending was rehearsed in silence.

    I showed up for him when no one else did. Helped him through family, studies, life. But when I needed even a little understanding-he left me standing in the corner. This is not about blame. This is about heartbreak between brothers.

    He grew up in the passenger seat of a worn-out taxi. Now he's driving toward the fastest league in the world. In the city of steel and smog, where fame is faster than truth, a boy chasing the memory of his father finds himself racing for more than money or glory. Illegal streets, underground fame, broken friendships - and a league where speed is survival. But the higher he rises, the deeper the secrets run. And when the past catches up, it won't be the finish line he has to cross - it'll be the line between loyalty and betrayal. 🏁 Speed built his dream. The streets built his soul. But what if the system he races for... is the one that destroyed everything?

    We run after the ones who turn away. We ignore the ones who never left. And we mourn the ones who slip through our fingers when we finally notice. What Runs, What Stays, What Leaves is a haunting monologue of love misplaced, of loyalty unseen, and of silence that says too much. Told in lyrical prose, this piece captures the quiet tragedies we live through every day-the people we chase, the souls we overlook, and the regrets we carry once they're gone. If you've ever held on too long... or let go too late... this is for you.

    This isn't a story. It's a message I never sent. About someone who never really left, not in my chest anyway. He said I made a difference in his life. He said I mattered. He told me not to be too hard on myself. Then he was gone. I didn't get to respond. So this is what I would've said.

    Some stories are loud. This one isn't. It's told in pauses, in conversations that end a little too soon, in words chosen carefully so nothing breaks. Two teenagers grow close in the most ordinary ways-late replies, shared silence, the comfort of being understood without explanation. Nothing is ever said outright. But something is always there. As the chapters pass, moments begin to repeat themselves: the hesitation, the change of subject, the sentence that almost goes somewhere else. And slowly, it becomes clear-this isn't a story about falling in love. It's about everything they never let themselves say. Guys this is just a random story because well I yearn for someone to love me and I'm lonely also I don't know what I'm doing and I'm doing this like at 4 am
