Cue this, you have felt lost for a while, stuck in the rules set by the world, but also want to fly, but then you are stuck out of love for people in your life complicating the equation of your life. There are so many ways to go about it, but keeping it simple might make it easier to unfold. Well, this is one of the books you can pick up for some inspiration.
I wish I had gotten a chance to read this book when I was really struggling, with no guidance from my surroundings that I was almost burnt to the ground, because it might feel a small book, but the author gently unfurls the complicated emotions we in real life try to escape from.
There is another aspect which I really loved, was that the author highlighted that even after some lessons learnt and our change in direction towards the new, there are more lessons that keep coming, which are hard to absorb sometimes. She gently probes the reader to take a breath and keep going one step at a time.
Ultimately, culminating into a complete journey of a human to keep evolving as life is not static, we need to keep moving on to progress and move forward. This was a refreshing read, striking the reader where they might need help at different points of the journey.
Book Recommendation - Hell Yeah

"In Search: Becoming Who You Are" by Ruchi Sharma Kapoor is a beautiful collection of poems that captures both the highs and lows of life. From moments of chaos and confusion to finding peace and acceptance, each poem resonates deeply. I found myself wanting to highlight every line.
Her writing is simple yet powerful, and her ability to express raw emotions is truly impressive. I did notice that the poems "I'm Here" and "Only If" seemed very similar, with just the words rearranged, but this didn't take away from my overall enjoyment.
This book is a heartfelt journey through the complexities of life, and I loved reading it. If you enjoy poetry that speaks to the soul, you won't regret buying this one.
