This is a personal translation of the 易经. It is known in English as the Book of Changes or the Classic of Change. To me, the book's beauty is found in the lives it has led. It was used to divine the future, then as a book on morality, and then a book on metaphysics. Each time, the change was made by a dutiful commentator just clarifying its meaning. The words were not changed. The book's essence was changed by merely adding. It is a book that stands the hierarchy of essence and appearance on its head. According to the Book of Changes, appearance is static and essence is dynamic.
This translation removes all the commentaries thus changing its meaning again. This is not an attempt to get to the original meaning. It is just another change.

Noctiflorous
The becoming of a God, of who flowers bloom at their gaze and stars shine within their grasp. And yet they can't help but regret ascension. This is a prequel to a series I'm working on, it's intended to be structured like haru telling their life story to another person. Some words in this story will be fictional, as I made up (two) entire languages for this series, I will attempt to give the meaning at the end of the chapters, but I've been working on this series for so long, that these words have become apart of my everyday vocabulary, so I may forget it's a word I made up. I use pretty flowery language, so if you don't know any of the words I use or why they are used in that way, just ask in the comments. I'll try to respond as quickly as possible!
Go Within * Connection to Your Inner Self
Are you feeling stuck, not quite yourself, more negative than positive, anxious, worried, bored, numb or apathetic to life? Do you notice that when you make changes in your life you often end up in a similar situation as before the change and again feel defeated? This book suggests that we are taught to live outwardly and to disregard our internal experience. Instead of focusing on changing your external experience, this book suggests to work on your internal self to create the fundamental changes that will change your external world.Concluida

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Concluida

Subdued- A Shiva Pandya Story
Why is it that whatever you do, no matter how much you scrub that shirt, it is never as white as it was when you first bought it? Why is it that no matter how much you study, your mind doesn't work as fast as it did when you were younger? Why is it you try your best to change and people still define you and hold you to something you no longer are or try not to be? Well enough is enough. I will no longer ask why. I will no longer be put down. I will no longer be the Jaahil, Gusse wala, Gawar. I will no longer be Shiva the husband, the son, the brother or even a Pandya. I will be Shiva . I will be me This is a journey which takes off after the current storyline but to alternate route. It's mostly Shiva but we will see raavi viewpoint too. There will be some new characters vital to the story. Please commentConcluida
