I am not a writer. I am not a storyteller. I never set out to craft perfect sentences or poetic metaphors.
I simply wanted to hold up a mirror.
I wanted to show the world what we’ve lost: the friendships we let fade, the love we didn't protect, the respect we forgot to give, and the quiet moments that once made us feel alive.
This book is not about me. It is about all of us. It is about the things we chase, the people we forget, the silences we ignore, and the truths we bury under the noise of a busy life.
At the end of it all, we ran after everything. And somehow, we lost it all. And in return, we gained nothing.
But maybe, just maybe, if we can name what we’ve lost, we can finally begin to find what truly matters.
