Get ready.
To dismantle the firmest threads of your existence...
As you descend into the roots you once wove and still defend-just to survive functionally.
To finally look, acknowledge, and confront the existential fatigue you carry with you day after day...

Because this book is not a guide, nor an answer.
It is a parenthesis that doesn't come to comfort you.
It is a fracture.
A lucid journey through the invisible machinery in which you move.
A kind of writing that doesn't seek to redeem you-but to stop you, abruptly.

Aion watches in silence, knowing that the noise within you is louder than the world outside.
Void walks beside you, whispering the questions you never dared to ask.
And Vita pulses underneath it all-waiting for the moment you choose to feel, not just function.

It may even lead you to the despair of what you already knew but refused to face;
to that place where the meaning of life dissolves, when everything becomes mere function.

Because functioning became your way of being in the world.
And in that mode, the body endures-but does not dwell.
Language fills-but does not communicate.
Time runs-but leaves no trace.

But this book might bring you to a threshold.
Not to make you fall, but to make you pause.
Because it's not a book that pushes you into the void-it is a vitalist book.

Because sometimes, thinking is the only way to feel alive.
To contemplate. To question. To look again into the face of life.
And perhaps, from there, you'll discover other possibilities.

I write this because I know I can share something real-something that once awakened me.
Because I believe there is something in you that hasn't fully gone out.
Something that suspects... this way of living isn't really life.

And if that spark lights up-even for just one second-
it might change you completely.

Let's find out.

She wasn't just a child, She was a miracle. Born after generations of prayers and silent yearning, Tejo arrived like the dawn after a long night in the mighty Suryavanshi dynasty. A family built on strength, pride, love and tradition found its heart softened by a pair of tiny hands and eyes that held galaxies. She was their light, their laughter, their moon wrapped in stardust. Even the sternest of men melted before her innocent smile, their proud heads bowed to the little girl who unknowingly ruled them all. But fate, ever watching, never plays fair. One night everything changed. One moment, giggles, blessings and love filled the air. The next, silence. A cruel twist no one saw coming, no one could stop. The light vanished. Just like that. Gone. No warning. No goodbye. Just a void so deep it swallowed the entire family. The Suryavanshis, once unshaken and mighty, crumbled under the weight of their grief. Her absence became a shadow that haunted every sunrise, her name a whisper too sacred to speak aloud. Years went by. Time moved forward, but hearts stayed frozen in the moment she left. And then... the winds shifted again. Tejo returned, no longer the pampered princess she once was. At a young age, she faced countless emotional hardships, far away from the warmth of her family one she didn't even know existed. Life tested her in ways she could never have imagined. But beneath the surface of her silent pain, she found strength. Hiding her emotional wounds behind a calm exterior, she grew resilient not just for herself, but for the unbreakable bond she formed along the way. That bond became her anchor, her reason to keep moving forward. This is the story of Tejo, a girl destined to shine, who found her light even in the darkest of times. Take a deeper look into her journey, one of pain, strength, family and love.......✍️🏻❤
