Self Stories

Jaafar Jackson thought starring as Michael Jackson in the biggest biopic of the decade would feel like destiny fulfilled. Instead, it feels like drowning in expectations, cameras, interviews, and a version of himself the world keeps trying to own. With fame escalating faster than he can emotionally process and his relationship with his fiancée, Maddie Simpson, slowly cracking under pressure, Jaafar creates a fake Instagram account just to escape. No blue checkmark. No headlines. No "Michael's nephew." Just a nobody. That's where he meets a girl named Lune. A girl with no selfies, no thirst traps, no obvious agenda. Her page is filled with photographs of old bookstores, rainy windows, records, handwritten notes, coffee cups, moonlit streets, and fragments of poetry. Mysterious. Quiet. Real. What begins as harmless late-night conversations slowly becomes the only place Jaafar can breathe. Until anonymity stops feeling simple.

journal entries from a girl that is either in love or insane. When life goes right or wrong this girl is just gone.

She thought she knew who she was. She was wrong. Some mistakes spend seven years becoming a rivalry. When her twin sister Darya calls at six in the morning with a fever and an eleven-page password-protected document, Sara Amiri agrees to do exactly one thing: show up to a black-tie gala in Miami, accept an award under the wrong name, and make sure Dr. Ira Bared - Darya's most infuriating professional rival - sees her accept it. One night. One name tag. One dress that isn't hers. What could go wrong. The man Sara spent the evening pretending not to notice is the same man she kissed at a Stanford party seven years ago and never saw again. The same man whose backpack she accidentally took. The same man who went looking for her afterward, found Darya instead, and built an entire rivalry out of the misunderstanding. He figured out she wasn't Darya before she even finished the acceptance speech. He said nothing. He bought her iridescent green flip flops at a CVS at one in the morning, walked her to the water, and asked about her work - not Darya's work. Hers. Sara Amiri does not do this. She reads. She travels. She works until there is no more work and then finds more. She had a fiancé once and let him go because she knew, somewhere she wouldn't look at directly, what it felt like to want someone to stay. She just didn't expect to find him at her sister's gala. Wearing her sister's name. No Itinerary is a slow burn romance about mistaken identity, a rivalry built on a miscommunication, and two people who almost happened once - and have been circling each other ever since. For readers who love the wit of Pride and Prejudice, the emotional precision of Emily Henry, and the kind of love story that tastes like sake at midnight and smells like salt air.

Five thousand years ago, a sage asked: what is the Self that remains when everything else falls away? Today, in a glass-walled corporate tower, a young professional is about to ask the same question, without ever knowing it. This is a modern corporate drama written for the Gen-Z reader: a story of ambition, burnout, loyalty, and identity set against the relentless pace of contemporary office life. On the surface, it's about deadlines, power plays, and the search for meaning in a world that never stops moving. But woven quietly beneath the narrative is something far older, the timeless wisdom of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, one of the most profound philosophical texts ever composed. Ages have passed. The settings have changed. Yet the essence of what it means to be human, to seek, to lose, to awaken, remains exactly the same. This book is part of a series reimagining the wisdom of the 13 principal Upanishads for a new generation across the world. Each story is crafted to resonate with the lives young readers actually live, making one of humanity's oldest bodies of thought accessible, relatable, and alive, without altering or diminishing the noble texts themselves. Please note: These are inspired stories, not religious or scriptural texts. They make no claim to be the Upanishads, nor to substitute for them. They are an invitation, a bridge connecting the next generation to one of the world's oldest living philosophical traditions. Read it in the spirit of time moved fast-forward, and discover that beneath all the noise of the modern world, the deepest truths about life have never changed.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If it's my 20th birthday and my own blood needs a digital alarm to remember I exist... do I even matter? To the girls at my college, I'm just the quiet roommate glued to her phone, lost in a world of historical manhwas, slow-burn C-dramas, and fictional universes where love is guaranteed. It's an addiction, sure. But it's also my life support. In reality, I am twenty, profoundly lonely, and invisible to the people who are supposed to love me most. This is a story about waiting for a text that never comes, growing up too fast, and trying to find a reason to stay.

Preface This is not a story to be read. This is an invitation to an odyssey. It is an exploration of the echoes I once left behind-those former versions of a life I thought had gone quiet, but which still pulse beneath the rhythm of who I am today. We often believe we leave our past selves in the dust, yet they live on, whispering into our choices and shaping our shadows. As these pages turn, do not be surprised if your own history begins to echo around you. My echoes are on every page; are you ready to hear yours?

Poetry provisions of much treasured observation of self and the world. Status: On Going... Note: Publication will not be in order due to its ongoing status.

This is not a story about dying. It is a story about living - fully, honestly, and on one's own terms. Corey has his whole life ahead of him... until he doesn't. After a life-changing diagnosis, he makes a choice most wouldn't understand: instead of going home, he keeps going. Traveling across the world with his friends, he chooses to experience everything he still can - laughter, connection, quiet moments, and the kind of clarity that only comes when time feels limited. Through the pages of his personal journal, Corey captures not what he's losing... but everything he refuses to miss. When his journey finally brings him home, and his story reaches its final chapter, the truth of how he lived begins to unfold for those he loved most. And in that understanding, they begin to see life differently too. Life on My Terms is a deeply emotional and uplifting story about love, choice, family, and the quiet courage it takes to truly live. This isn't a story about the end. It's about everything that comes before it.

In the quiet hum of a coffee shop, a chance encounter changes everything. She wasn't expecting him-just another customer, another fleeting face-but something about the way he lingered, the way his presence filled the space, made her pause. What begins as a simple meeting over brewed coffee slowly unfolds into a story of connection, vulnerability, and the unexpected warmth of companionship. This is not just about caffeine and routine-it's about how one stranger can stir emotions long tucked away, and how a single moment can redefine what it means to be seen.
