    About this ebook

    Are you stuck under a pile of responsibilities? Are you uncomfortable with changed relationships? Have you recently realised that you are living in your mind too much? If you answered yes, welcome to adulting. I can only assume that adulting is hard for everyone. I am still trying to figure out the balancing of work-life because clearly I am not a multi-tasker. It’s like relearning about a new version of you, without realising there is one and this is more than something I was ready for, and I guess even you? This book is a cozy corner to help the struggling, to assure the adulting, to inspire readers and writers, and the literal tangible feeling of “I am here for you.” This is the break that you need or the push that you require to move on, but it is something, maybe, a customised experience of relatability. So, let’s explore adulting together, I am sure we’ll find a way to ourselves.

      relationships past and the future

      i have realised that

      the idea of love

      is a little flawed

      you see,

      falling in love

      with someone is not it

      you fall in love with your friends

      and things

      and places

      it’s the kind of love that

      remains constant in your life

      it heals

      it supports,

      and most of all it understands

      i know secretly you are waiting

      for the right person at the right time

      but don’t crave for love too much

      it comes when it has to

      it’ll be quick and slow at the same time

      it might end soon

      or last till your forever

      but for now

      fall in love with things

      and people

      and the sky

      and your favourite colour

      fall in love with every version of you.

      i was looped

      into the idea of love

      two people, dating who may not

      entirely deserve each
