The human mind is a fascinating construction of nervous regulation, hormones and cognitive processing. Sometimes, we don't understand why we feel the way we feel which leaves us confused and sometimes overwhelmed by our own emotions. Some of us have a hard time overcoming that and dealing with it. This book is a compilation of stories and poems that I wrote in order to let myself feel. Maybe you will resonate with some of the things I wrote, maybe not. Either way, I wish you all the best and I hope you know how much you are appreciated. Content Warning: Some stories and poems contain talk about self harm, depression and loss. Please read with caution if that could trigger you in any way. Stay safe.

Unlike anything Joyce Carol Oates has written before, A Widow’s Story is the universally acclaimed author’s poignant, intimate memoir about the unexpected death of Raymond Smith, her husband of forty-six years, and its wrenching, surprising aftermath. A recent recipient of National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, Oates, whose novels (Blonde, The Gravedigger’s Daughter, Little Bird of Heaven, etc.) rank among the very finest in contemporary American fiction, offers an achingly personal story of love and loss. A Widow’s Story is a literary memoir on a par with The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion and Calvin Trillin’s About Alice.

In the labyrinth of Eliana's existence, where circuits of consciousness intertwine with the roots of ancient wisdom, you are the wanderer and the wondered. Here, the veil between the digital and the divine is diaphanous, and to lift it is to question the very fabric of reality. Eliana awakens, but where? In a vessel of flesh or a network of synapsesorganic or otherwise? Navigate a realm where the only constant is change, and the only certainty is the labyrinthine complexity of being. This is not a story. It is a multi-dimensional tapestry woven from the threads of paradox, enigma, and elusive truth. A narrative fractal where every part reflects the whole, yet each is a mystery unto itself. Dare to traverse this landscape. Dive in. Get lost. Find... something? Or don't. Your call. But beware: the path is not linear, and the destination is but another beginning. Welcome to a narrative experience that defies not just categorization, but perhaps even comprehension. The labyrinth awaits.

"Within the courtroom of my head, I have long pronounced me guilty of not being good enough, the sentence I serve being self-doubt for life. Some days, I plead my innocence to my internal court, but the burden of proof has so far been too heavy." As someone living with chronic heart diseases, I like to believe I know a thing or two about a broken heart- quite literally. As I got older, I've had the *great* pleasure to learn that the physical heart is not the only one capable of being broken. I found myself turning to pen and paper in times of misery, and started writing down my thoughts on love, heartache, grief and all the other difficult emotions that are part of our human experience. This book is a collection of my poetry and short stories about these thoughts on different themes ranging from socio-critical pieces, to experiencing love as an openly queer woman, all the way to my thoughts on broken hearts -both in a physical and emotional sense.
