When The Periwinkles WIlt - Stories and poems about broken hearts and broken souls  (English, Paperback, Maiti Agniva)

"When the Periwinkles Wilt is a beautiful and insightful exploration of emotion and love. It deals with complicated feelings and not always knowing exactly what to do or how to feel." "...a constant echo of internal melodrama and domestic misery. The friction between serenity and chaos, love and longing- living under the burden of humanity’s collective moral ambiguity." I think most of you will agree when I say “Life is a rollercoaster ride”. And I really like this analogy. In life, there are ups and downs. It’s calm when the rollercoaster goes up but when it goes down again, it scares the hell out of you. Then next time when you go uphill, the thoughts of the inevitable downfall haunt you. Life is pretty much the same. The aim of this book is not to give you false hope. I won’t say crap like, “everything will be okay, give it some time” or “it’s okay not to be okay”. Everything might not be okay and I know it sucks not to be okay. What I want you to do, my reader is to accept. Accept the bad, ‘cause it is inevitable. Just learn to live through it, smile through it. You’ve come this far, my friend, you can do it. I believe in you and I want you to believe in yourself. And maybe these few poems and stories will give you some solace when the times are bad. Hope you will enjoy my amateurish works, and I wish you all the very best in life. - Ogni, 3rd July 2022, Dimapur
