"I think your 20s are the hardest part of life. I mean, everyone goes on about how hard it is to be a teenager, but actually I think it's tougher to be in your 20s because you're expected to be a grownup and expected to earn your own living and be successful and I think you feel like a kid still."
- Nigel Col

The Lost Things
Throughout life, everyone saves something up. Mostly it is money or some little things like stamps and coins, but we all unconsciously collect emotions and memories our entire lives because we are human beings, and the mental world is more important to us than the physical one. However, this book is not going to be about our savings but our life-long losses. This is a book of lost things. It is partly autobiographical, but most of it is generalising. Because of the topic, it may seem depressive. Partially it is. Again, we are talking about losses. But still, my goal is not to cause a reader's regret and sadness but to show the importance of certain minor things and maybe revive some kind of memories - no matter good or bad, walking along the life path of an ordinary person.Complete
The Thing About Us.
This is an anthology about us. About people. People around us, people like us, people who face their things, or avoid their things in their lives. People who grow to be better people, or people who stay stagnant. These are the tales people often ignore, since it is not as big, as heroic, nor as entertaining as the adventures of heroes. But, isn't that also the thing about us?Complete

Pause at 30
Growing up doesn't end at adulthood. It just gets real. What does it really mean to "have it all together" by thirty? This book is a collection of deeply personal vignettes unfolds like snapshots in a scrapbook-raw, funny, heartbreaking, and true. From scraped knees to broken hearts, dorm rooms to delivery rooms, therapy sessions to quiet moments of peace, each chapter captures a real, relatable moment in the journey toward thirty. Told through the voices of different lives, these standalone stories explore growing pains, identity, love, loss, friendship, failure, and quiet triumphs. Each chapter ends with a small revelation-because sometimes, it takes thirty years to learn the simplest truths. This is not a guide. It's not advice. It's a mirror held up to the lives we've all lived or are still living. And maybe, just maybe, it's the reminder that you're not alone-even if you still don't know what you're doing.Complete
