    DISCLAIMER - This is not a traditional narrative. The narrative structure tilts toward documentary/archive file-style storytelling but a very informal epistolary. The following are symbolic accounts recording ideas as if they were things-and deeper or vast than that, an eldritch. Three ancient metaphysical entities: Law, Power, and Void are symbolic forces that shaped narrative and existence but primarily, meta. The root forces that sculpt the very idea of meta itself. These entries are intended to enlighten, disrupt perception, and survey what exists outside of conventional storytelling.

    A round table. 5 poets. 1 teacher. May the muses be ever in your favour. Samay hates any kind of disruption in his life. He hates being curious about things because then he loses all common sense and has to sate his curiosity. But he can't stop himself from being curious about Romi, the girl who conducts the weekly poetry sessions which Samay (forcibly) participates in. She's intelligent, yes. She knows how poetry works, sure. But she is so guarded, and that, Samay can't tolerate. Kiara is painfully shy. Bullied often as a kid, she grows up keeping her thoughts and ideas to herself, and occasionally pouring them in a sketch book or a notebook. Creativity takes over and she realises she writes poetry quite well. However, when her cousin Sarah, invites her to join a poetry group that meets weekly, Kiara must decide whether she really wants to put herself out there, in the open. Rishi is easy going and uncomplicated. He enjoys a good poem thanks to his best friend, Kabir. Kabir harbours a massive crush on Sarah so when she invites him to weekly poetry gatherings, Kabir decides to drag Rishi in. Rishi meets Kiara, the shy girl. He has made it a rule to avoid all kinds of dramas and complications, yet he feels compelled to solve the complex puzzle that is Kiara. What unites all these very different, very colourful people? Poetry, of course. The magic of words and verses draws in Kabir (a lawyer and volunteer with a heart of gold), Sarah (the girl with spunk), Samay (Mr. Grouch), Rishi, Kiara, and of course, the person who leads them to the wonderful world of poetry - Romi.

    This book is a memoir about the author's intimate experience of growth and self-discovery, including their experience of growing up in Tunisia and the uneasy personal realities that surrounded it. The book describes the author's experience moving from a religious, specifically nihilistic belief structure, but eventually believing in some form of designer/higher power. The author shares their live experiences of dealing with strange experiences from meeting a stranger on the street who claims to be able to predict the future, to their exposure and experience with astrology, and their experience with ghosts that made them question their existence here on earth. This book also touches on gender equality and the ignorance prevalent in the third world and some cultural and religious norms. In this book, it guides the author and the audience to encourage ownership on their own journey of self-discovery while providing realistic tips and habits to create a more enjoyable and purposed-filled existence. The book will also explore ideas that society is made up of a world of NPC's (non-playable characters) and how to escape it. It will look at the reasons for complacency along with basic tips and habits to live a more fulfilling, more purpose-driven life. We will also share inspiring stories of individuals who have also clapped out of their npc shells and are now living this thing called life, however they choose to. So whether you're looking to live differently, discover your passion or simply want to escape the boredom of the everyday hustle, this is the book for you. So let's venture on a journey of self-discovery and transformation!
