A collection of poems and short stories interwoven in a larger narrative that served as a way for me to work through burnout.
The tale of Estavir is a metaphorical dive into my burned out mind as he searches for deeper meaning and climbs Mt. Sensan-Ghi filled with trials to test his heart.
This is my first published work of fiction. It was conceptualised during a burnout I experienced back in 2017. With support from family, friends and a professional with whom to talk, I tried working through the burnout over the period of a year.
At each stage of my journey I created a story to help me process.
It's bizarre, a bit dark slightly existential and close to my heart.
Please enjoy.

My Guilty Pleasure
Desiree Diamond is working hard to get her life on the right track. She's working to gain respect, she's working so she could be independent, to be able to stand on her own two feet. She's keeping herself busy so she could escape from her abusive past and from her addiction... That made other people see her as a presumptuous, egotistical woman, who only cares about her goals and would stop at nothing to achieve them. He was among people who perceive her as a self-centered, egoistical, shallow person and he despises those traits in a woman. Nonetheless, there is something about her that can't escape his mind. With such loading came a much stronger emotion of desire, so he made sure to do everything in his power to get her out of his mind, no matter the consequences. ___________________________________________________________________ - I know you want me. Don't deny it... - I closed my eyes enjoying his touch which is absolutely wrong. I'm not supposed to feel this, not for him. His hand followed the path along my thigh, leaving a tingling sensation in places where he touched me. I bit my lip preventing a moan of pleasure. It's bad enough I can't move away from him, he doesn't have to know how I feel about it. - No... - I tried to refuse but my voice came out deep, sensual... I've never felt like this. - Yeah... You want me... You don't have to restrain yourself, Desiree... just this once, then I'll leave you alone, I promise. I can't get you out of my mind Desiree... Your lips, your eyes, face, body... It's your face that's keeping me awake at night... I want you, here, now! - he leaned in slowly, till his lips were inches away. Then he brought his lips to mine in a kiss full of passion and lust.Complete
Mr. CEO & I
"NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS" is what my mother always told me. Ava has always had it tough in life. When she was about the age of twelve, her father died in a fatal car accident, leaving her, her mother and her siblings behind with little to nothing to support themselves. At a young age, she had to learn how to grow up fast and support her family, while everyone her age was out partying and living their best life. After several years, she is learning to put it all behind her and move on with her life. She eventually graduates from college and is now choosing the path she wants in life. Aiden Morgan is a twenty-five-year-old who was given the title C.E.O. by his father after he retired three years ago, when Aiden was the age of twenty-two. The Morgan family has never known the word 'poverty' or ever experienced the slightest bit of poverty. Their wealth has been passed on from generation to generation. Two worlds collide, how bad can it be? Slow-burning story that highlights the craft of falling in love. True Love isn't an experience that needs to be rushed, not even the slightest bit. The journey of love is what truly makes it beautiful. Knowing that you could be anywhere with anyone, yet you're with the person your heart yearns for. Content is the simplest word to describe such a blessing. Simply what I am saying is if you are a lover of love or you don't believe in it, I would advise you to read, your view may just have to change.

RIVULETS OF THOUGHTS - Cascading emotions
I am a Poet, surfing the rainbows... Squandering the few surviving winks in my dreamy eyes. I, a well accompanied loner, saunter amidst the fireflies. Like a wandering dream, my restless mind meanders, "Will the same butterflies return to the flower?" It wonders. I am the thief who thieved the fire, to set the ideas ablaze, I stole the rains too, I had to flood the despondent deserts. But Metaphors I'd just borrow, they would never be mine. Metaphors can't be tamed, they belong to poetry, not poets. I roam unescorted and unaccompanied. I'm just exploring. Whilst, really there is nothing to find. "Sshh!" There is everything to find... Yet I roam... As a Poet. I roam. The wilderness, of the mind, the canyons of consciousness. -Harish Vaid harishvaid1986@gmail.com A collection of Poems, of the unusual sort. Read along for poems ranging from Love to Life, General to Abstract, Random to Insane. Intended to be an ongoing series. "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." -Leonardo Da Vinci Love all... Love you all.

Unable to move on and desperate to escape the whispers and pity, she takes an unexpected job as a live-in maid, despite holding a degree in Financial Management.

Dive into a story of heartbreak, healing, undeniable chemistry, and a romance that challenges both pride and pain. Fall in love, laugh, and cry with them. One chapter at a time. 💔❤️🔥Complete
INSIDE AND OUT
They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But what if that step is taken in the dark, guided only by the fragile, flickering light of your own fear? This is not just a story of a journey; it is the map of a soul. Inside and Out is a piercingly intimate exploration of a life built-and almost broken-by its own walls. It begins in the quiet turmoil of self-doubt, where the reflection in the mirror is a stranger and the concept of beauty feels like a weapon. Here, in the shadows of uncertainty, a spark of determination is born-not a roar, but a whisper, a stubborn refusal to be defined by the cracks within. This is a story of peeling back the layers. It's about the terrifying, exhilarating work of growth, of looking your deepest fears in the eye and choosing to move forward anyway. It's about clawing your way toward self-respect, not as a destination, but as a daily practice of choosing yourself, piece by broken piece. And then, just when you think the path is one you must walk alone, another soul intersects yours. This is where the narrative deepens, transforming into a profound meditation on true love. But this is not a fairy tale. This love is a mirror, reflecting back not only your light but also every unhealed scar. It is a love that demands courage, that asks the most terrifying question of all: Can I be truly seen, inside and out, and still be chosen? Inside and Out is a breath held before a confession, the ache of a healing wound, the fierce, quiet triumph of a spirit refusing to be subdued. It is for anyone who has ever fought to find the beauty in their own chaos and dared to believe that the most important jo journey we ever take is the one that leads us back to ourselves-and, in doing so, opens us to a love that is as relentless as it is real. Prepare to feel the story unfold within you. Your journey begins here.Complete
