verywhere. We ask questions to search for answers. In short, we seek guidance from an early age.

My Best Stories Written, First Edition

List of the stories that I would like to share with the curious reader to give a deeper insight into my writing journey, and what to expect in the future.

Greetings to everyone reading this, yes you! 👋

I hope you are in the best of spirits and health. I hope you are loved and blessed with joy.

I have been able to write perhaps many stories, each having a significance of their own. But these stories that I’m sharing have had a significant impact on the reader.

So the topics I would be sharing with you right now, are on the subjects of Life, Love, Relationships, Spirituality, Philosophy, Mental Health, and Education — perhaps even poetry as well, in between.

Love | Relationships

Let’s start with Love, as we all aspire to love and be loved. Whether we love ourselves or another. Love is an essential need that we aspire to have in our lives. I would present the first story that presents findings and experiences on the matters of love:

What would it be like if we never had known love, perhaps for that I have a fix for you as well? I present to you, with poetry Rancor — In the absence of love:

I hope you can resonate with the heartfelt emotions I wrote through these experiences. Happy Reading.

Life | Self | Spirituality

Life is perhaps uncertain for all of us, and thus we need to be extra careful in preserving each second that we have to good use so that we can both enjoy and spend it wisely. We all ponder upon many aspects of life and thus we fear many of it as well. The things that we don’t yet know of — the unknown that we fear the most. Thus I present you the first story in this edition:

The second story, I would add is perhaps the miracles of one’s life. One that has been one of the many experiences that changed me forever. My experience with the divine, and thus I’m sharing one of the most vivid experiences of my life in ample detail.

I hope these two stories can help you answering life’s questions and many more perhaps in time.

Mental Health

This is perhaps a story of heartbreak and life’s tragedies. I have known many men who have experienced such tragedies. This story throws light on the many issues men face related to mental health, equality, and justice.

Philosophy | Motivation

We all need guidance sometimes, we look for it everywhere. We ask questions to search for answers. In short, we seek guidance from an early age. This story throws light upon that fact and shows evidence that can help you find the motivation and perspective to seek guidance.

Education | Teaching

I am an educator and a mentor as well in my spare time. These two stories highlight my struggles and one of my practices that always throws excellent results in return when applied.

Poetry

“The engineers of the future will be poets.” — Terence McKenna

Lastly how to conclude this edition then through poetry. I believe in this edition. I would share my best poetry pieces that I believe I have written yet. I hope you relish reading them.
