Escapism is the way some people use to escape the real world with its all problems, stress and dilemmas. May be this is how the books and the dictionaries defined it, but to me it's away so far from this. Escapism is a long you take to return back to the world that you really belong. The world in which you feel free and happy. The world in which you can identify who you are and what you want. The world in which you are in control of all the events, and if a certain situation happened in a way you don't like you can replay it. The world in which you can be what you want to be, and you can hear only your inner voice. The world in which you can love and be loved back. May be it is an imaginative world for others, but to its more realistic than the world that we live in. So, when they ask where you are going, I always answer escapism 🙂.

Stolen Pages
~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters.

Sitting On A White Bench

Here you will see how it all started, how I managed this situation and how I tried to solve this huge trouble in which I got enrolled. The plot, feelings, time, messages... besides names, nothing is invented even the slightest detail is worked thoroughly because I just depict in words what I lived the way I lived it so you can get into my skin.

Falling, Still
"What does it mean to love someone who doesn't love you back? To wait, to hope, to wonder if love can change the way the stars align?" This is not just a story,it's a journey. A raw, intimate recollection of love that bloomed in silence, of moments that lingered too long in the spaces between friendship and something more. It's about patience, about the ache of wanting, and the quiet magic of the unexpected. But this isn't a tragedy. This is a love story. A story of persistence, of quiet longing turned into something real;of two souls finding their way to each other against all odds. Some love stories are loud, written in fireworks and grand gestures. This one was whispered..written in stolen glances, unsaid words, and the kind of love that waits. If you've ever loved, lost, or wondered what it means to hold on-this is for you.
