When We Were Still Us is a story about the fragility of first love, the strength of self-discovery, and the beginning of something new-even when that new path isn't yet fully clear. It's for everyone who knows what it feels like to fall in love for the very first time and what it takes to say goodbye.

They were each other's first love. Everything felt new, exciting, and like it would last forever-until suddenly, it didn't. At twenty, their lives were full of dreams, discoveries, and the belief that they could take on the world together. But now, she's left alone, with a heart full of memories and the question of how to go on without the person who once meant everything.

For the first time, she faces the challenge of getting to know herself again, without that one love who made her feel so safe and certain. As she struggles to let go, she begins to see that this first heartbreak is as much about finding herself as it is about saying goodbye. She learns what it means to grow up, to feel deeply, and to come out stronger from a broken heart.All Rights Reserved

The Art of Unloving by DinkyPunjabi

Love is beautiful, intoxicating, and all-consuming-until it isn't. When she first met him, the world seemed to realign, as if every moment before had been leading her to him. Their love was the kind that existed in stolen glances, whispered promises, and the soft hum of a song playing in the background of their most intimate moments. But love, as she learned, does not always stay. And when it leaves, it takes pieces of you with it. Now, with nothing left but memories and an aching heart, she turns to the one thing that has never abandoned her-her words. Through the pages of her journal, she unravels the story of their love, tracing the moments that built them and the ones that broke them. She writes of the first touch, the lingering embraces, the fire in their kiss, and the silence that eventually replaced it all. Each page is a step toward healing, a reckoning with the past, and a surrender to the truth she's been too afraid to admit: sometimes, loving means learning how to unlove. But unloving is an art, one she is still trying to master. Told through poetic prose and raw emotion, The Art of Unloving is a poignant journey of love, loss, and self-discovery. It is a story for those who have loved deeply and lost painfully, for those who are still picking up the pieces, and for those who believe that even in heartbreak, there is hope.
