Adulthood Stories

A collection of poems told from a millennial about what it feels like to be alive. These poems are all chaotic in the best way.

"She was made for open skies - until he became a sky she wanted to stay under." "He never said 'I sacrificed everything.' He just made sure she never felt like a burden." At twenty-three, Adhvik was supposed to be at the crease, chasing centuries under stadium lights. Instead, he's chasing deadlines and stability, having traded his cricket bat for a briefcase to anchor a life he wasn't ready for. At twenty-one, Hridya just wanted to see where the wind blew. She believed in sun-drenched afternoons and living without a map. But when "forever" arrives years too early, "going with the flow" becomes a struggle against a tide of responsibility. To the world, they are a young couple building a future. To each other, they are reminders of everything they lost. Adhvik buries his resentment in hard work, while Hridya tries to find the beauty in a life she never planned. As they navigate the messy, beautiful, and often painful transition into adulthood, they must decide: are they just roommates by circumstance, or can they become the teammates they never knew they needed? A story of sacrifice, stolen moments, and the courage it takes to fall in love when life gives you every reason not to.

A series of poems with an accompanying playlist. Each poem started as a Spotify playlist and was transformed into a poem to describe the feeling I hope you get when listening to the songs.

Do you ever find yourself holding back from expressing how you really feel? There are so many things you want to share, so many thoughts and emotions you want to express-yet you often choose silence. Sometimes there are things you want to do. You explain your side, but you don't like to argue. You choose understanding over conflict, peace over unnecessary debates, and you simply move forward. There are also moments when you feel excited about something - something you want, something that makes your heart light. But instead of sharing that excitement with others, you keep it quietly within yourself. If that sounds familiar, then maybe we are a bit alike. What I'm writing here are the thoughts behind my silence. I believe many of us carry the same unspoken feelings. But this time, don't limit yourself. Allow yourself to express. This is a safe space for everyone. Feel free to explore the topics that resonate with you and let those emotions out.

Throughout life, everyone saves something up. Mostly it is money or some little things like stamps and coins, but we all unconsciously collect emotions and memories our entire lives because we are human beings, and the mental world is more important to us than the physical one. However, this book is not going to be about our savings but our life-long losses. This is a book of lost things. It is partly autobiographical, but most of it is generalising. Because of the topic, it may seem depressive. Partially it is. Again, we are talking about losses. But still, my goal is not to cause a reader's regret and sadness but to show the importance of certain minor things and maybe revive some kind of memories - no matter good or bad, walking along the life path of an ordinary person.

Adulting hits like a splash of ice-cold water on your face first thing in the morning-a rude awakening, a plot twist you never saw coming. It's the reality check that stings, but somehow, you have to keep moving, keep growing. We've braved the Ocean of Poetry-a place of storms, chaos, and crashing waves that tested our strength. But now, a new challenge awaits. Ripples Within Still Waters may seem calm on the surface, but beneath the quiet lies an undercurrent of unspoken struggles, lingering doubts, and the weight of things left unsaid. This book is for those navigating the deceptive stillness of adulthood, where peace is never as simple as it seems, and where even the smallest ripple can change everything. March 2025

Blue Archive: Years From Now, a retelling of CrematedKiryu's work of the original title Author: CrematedKiryu An English translation from Filipino to English "Years from now... where will you see yourself? After that, come and see me-if I'm still around." In the golden light of a quiet SCHALE classroom, Sensei leaves his graduating students with one final, cryptic assignment. No contact details, no map, and no guarantees-only a promise to be found in a future that feels impossibly far away. As the students of Kivotos stand on the threshold of adulthood, they laugh off Sensei's warnings that time changes everything. But as the bell rings and the halls go silent, Sensei is left alone with the shifting sky and a haunting question of his own: In a world where nothing lasts forever, who will they become when they finally find him again? A story of nostalgia, the inevitable march of time, and a bond that dares to outlast the blue skies of youth.
