Love. First love. Being in love. Falling in love. Phrases like these seem to be thrown around without much thought. But do we grasp what they actually mean? Or do we simply gravitate towards society's idealistic definition of love? The kind Nicholas Sparks has been using (and women have been buying) for years, or maybe it's the materialistic one where there's a man named Christian Grey who's psychopathic tendencies are easily swept under the rug because of his bank balance. The complexities that come with defining love only lead us to ask the fundamental question: What is Love?

Finding us
Love is a concept that sadly no combination of words of our dictionary can fully explain. Love can only be felt. And the feeling is such that each person's experience is different from another's. A mother's love for her child is different from a father's love for that child. A woman's love for her husband is different from a husband's love towards his wife. Rohan has been in love before, but will this second chance at love be as same as before, or different? Poor guy Nikhil has never been in love. And now, a lamp... A Diya has struck the chords of his heart. What will happen? And as Rumi says "Lovers don't find each other, they are in each other all along"Complete

The Art of Unloving
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.

My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking.

However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?Complete
