How do you stay happy when the source of your happiness is fading?

Nardho used to think that he has it all: wonderful friends, caring siblings, a happy family, and a beautiful wife he adores. Life, however, does not always go according to plan. When he is faced with the reality of his wife's disease, he is forced to asses his options: accept gracefully that there are things he can't change or succumb to his depression. While evaluating his options, he is recording voice notes to chronicle the good times he used to have. He tries his best to re-tell what it was like to champion disability rights and promote the protection of a vulnerable species. 

You are invited to dive into Nardho's head as he wrestles his emotions to remember the best moments of his and his wife's teenage years while also dealing with mental health issues. 

Told in two alternating timelines, this book continues the saga of a group of youngsters who fight for environmental and social justice. Now, however, you have a chance to also see the story filtered through the eyes of an adult.

This is the story of exploring life, jumping away from pasts and diving with open arms into self-made futures. Aashna Bagchi, a psychology student, has been working day and night on her research that holds the most important place in her life. So important that she has left some equally important threads behind. Meanwhile, Abeer Purohit, a not-so-random neighbourhood guy who grew up without any friends, claims that he didn't need any. However, after meeting Aashna and her friends, he has started wishing for some deeper relationships. Aashna, Abeer, Girisha, Muskan, Kartik, Abhimanyu, and others, all carry some deep-rooted sorrows within them. What they also carry, are dreams, ambitions and hopes.

Yet these youngsters stand strong against all the hardships, ready to fight against whatever comes their way. But... for how long can they do this? How long will they last? ***Some major themes/tropes:- Friends to lovers Group Friendship Adulting Slow burn, Healthy Romance Dreams and Aspirations Perspectives on relationships Healing and Coping Sunshine X Sunshine Multiple couples (Libraries, Books, Coffee, Psychology, Art) ...and of course, a lot more!
His Last Song- "Ji'de Tas Anse" by DianDianSian
23 parts Complete Mature
A world once run by humans is now a cold, barren, and toxic wasteland filled with vicious, mutant, and flesh-eating animals; as a result of an unpredicted showering of meteors. The world population is unknown due to the complete shutdown of the media, but the number of inhabitants of the once populous African island, Hardane, has fallen to a number near zero. Two people, a famous Korean singer and a Japanese-African emerging artist, meet by chance as they embark on their separate journeys to traverse their new world. Song Byeong-ho starts his journey with the notion of finding somewhere calm to spend his last days, while Itsuki Uta-ﻃَﺎﺋِﺮ (taa'ir) starts his journey with the notion of finding his lost grandparents. Due to his somber past, Song is skeptical of Itsuki at first; but as their journeys progress, the new demands and horrors of their world pushes them closer. As Song and Itsuki traverse their new world together, they race against death and time. (This is a story of loss and finding a bit more than friendly love in the darkest of places.) - - Heads up! This book deals with parental neglect, parental trauma, mild system fake claiming, mentions of suicide, and much more. This book also dives into plurality; which is the experience of having multiple beings in one body. DID, OSDD, and a few other dissociative disorders fall under that label. DID and OSDD are formed due to intense trauma--and not what the outside perceived as intended trauma, it's what the individual(s) perceive as intense trauma. Plurality also encompasses much more than just dissociative disorders since this experience is not rare. !!Still being uploaded!!
