not fully an adult but not a teenager either more lost than found but fully ready to live and to give between here & there my 20s led me everywhere: from love, loss, heartbreak, doubt, uncertainty, to developing a sense of identity and self-love, to lots (and lots) of mistakes, getting back up and trying again, more heartbreak, some adventure, traveling alone, idealism and finding my way to feminism, unemployment, internship over internship, finding a deeper meaning to life while simultaneously surviving the day-to-day pains, and ultimately to finding myself who I am and where I want to go
The title "Diary" does not come from the fact that these are someone's daily notes. The name came from the fact that these situations have become daily for us. This is a gallery of 17 short stories about falling in love, divided into the cycle of Winter and the cycle of Summer. They resemble fragments of someone's memories which are so sweet when you find them in someone's old diary. Who are these stories about? They are about each of us. The main I has no gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, certain body type or skin colour. All we know about the character is that it is in love. It doesn't tell you who should or shouldn't be loved. It quietly whispers: I understand. There are moments of joy, moments of happiness, moments of bliss, bitter moments and moments of resentment. Its I is universal, because we all have an I, so we can all relate to these situations... or remember our own.
The Epitome of Love is a collection of poems throughout different times, different narrations, different themes, and emotions. It covers the feelings of love, lust, and wrath, all till heartbreak and devastation to pure salvation. A play between heaven and hell, between love and hate, between lovers who are now strangers and people who should rather have been forgotten. A work full of a bleeding heart that came to a stop, all induced by a mere creature that sparked the interest of the devil. All internally coming back to the fishy in his little well, with the devil by his side, protecting him, with all of her might.
