Hey…

I don’t know if this is the right place to begin, but maybe beginnings never feel right. Maybe they just… happen. So here I am, trying to put my thoughts into words, hoping they make sense to someone—if not to the world, then at least to myself.

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever done something you didn’t want to do… only because someone else expected it from you?

I’m sure most of us would say yes. It has become so normal these days that we don’t even question it anymore. People call it “adjusting,” “understanding,” “sacrificing,” or sometimes, simply “life.”



But for me?

I care.

Maybe I care too much.

And I know I’m not the only one. There are so many of us who quietly carry this feeling—this uncomfortable mix of guilt, fear, love, and helplessness. But we rarely talk about it, because we think no one will understand… or maybe because we’re scared that someone actually will.

Sometimes I sit alone and think:

Why am I doing this?

Why am I forcing myself into something that my heart clearly rejects?

The answer always returns like a heavy breath:

Because I don’t want to hurt the people I love.

It’s strange, isn’t it?

How the people closest to us—knowingly or unknowingly—become the biggest source of pressure in our lives. Parents, friends, relationships, society… the ones we want to make proud are the same ones who unknowingly push us into corners we never chose for ourselves.

And no, I’m not blaming anyone.

Everyone has their own story, their own struggle, their own fear. Everyone carries a world inside them that we might never fully understand.

But even then… pressure is pressure.

And its weight doesn’t decrease just because it came from someone we love.

The thing about pressure is that it creeps in quietly.

At first, it feels like a small push.

Then it becomes a nudge.

Then a shove.

And before we know it, we find ourselves doing things that have nothing to do with who we are, what we want, or what makes us alive.

It’s like losing little pieces of yourself… one decision at a time.

And that’s when the realisation hits—

We are living, but not living as ourselves.

Sometimes, it feels like everyone is running a race without understanding why.

A race to meet expectations.

A race to prove something.

A race to not disappoint anyone.

But while trying so hard to make others happy…

we forget what happiness even feels like for us.

Isn’t that frightening?



Pressure.

What a simple word.

Just eight letters.

But the weight of it?

Enough to crush dreams.

Enough to make you forget what you wanted.

Enough to make you believe that your desires don’t matter.

Sometimes I wonder…

Did we forget how to live?

Or did life simply get too heavy to hold?

Because when pressure becomes a habit, silence becomes a home.

A home where we stay trapped… even when the door is open.

And that’s why the title of this book is Homeless.

Not because I don’t have a physical home.

But because somewhere along the way…

I lost the home inside myself.

The home where my thoughts should feel safe.

Where my choices should matter.

Where I should be allowed to breathe without fear of disappointing someone.

Maybe that’s what this book is—

an attempt to rebuild that home.

Brick by brick.

Sentence by sentence.

Truth by truth.

If you’re reading this, maybe you feel a little bit homeless too.

Not in the world—

but inside your own heart.

And maybe… just maybe…

We’ll find our way back together.

He is so chill.

She is so energetic.

He is an all-rounder.

She is good at everything she touches.

Everyone around me seems to have a talent, a spark, a personality that shines without effort.

And then there’s me.

What am I good at?

No one says it out loud, but sometimes I feel like I am the only one who doesn’t have an answer. It’s like everyone is moving ahead confidently while I’m still standing at the starting line, wondering where I’m supposed to go.



There is a party tonight — loud music, bright lights, people dancing, laughing, living.

I should go too.

I should be a part of it.

But the moment the thought comes, another thought follows:

I don’t belong there.

Even if I go, what will I do?

I’ll stand in a corner again, pretending to smile, pretending to enjoy, pretending I’m not alone in a room full of people.

And that’s the part that hurts the most —

the way loneliness feels heavier when you’re surrounded by others.

Sometimes I wonder…

Am I too distant from this generation?

Too different?

Too quiet?

Too lost?

These questions follow me everywhere, like shadows that appear even in the dark.

And the worst part?

I know I’m not the only one who feels this.

There must be more people like me — people who feel out of place, people who can’t match the energy of everyone else, people who smile but feel something missing deep inside.



I’ve tried.

Believe me, I’ve tried so hard to fit in.

I’ve forced myself into conversations, into groups, into situations that drained me completely.

But every time I tried… I failed.

Not in a dramatic way.

Just quietly.

Silently.

In the kind of way that makes you feel invisible.

People told me to change — not to hurt me, but because they thought it would help.

“Be more open.”

“Talk more.”

“Be fun.”

“Be like them.”

Maybe they were right.

Maybe I should change.

But how much can a person change without losing themselves?

Because no matter how much I tried, I always ended up feeling like a wrong piece in a perfect puzzle. Everyone else fit so neatly together… and I was the piece that kept slipping out.



Sometimes I look at the world and wonder:

Is it really this important to fit in?

To match society’s speed, society’s mood, society’s definition of “normal”?

Because the truth is, this society doesn’t really care about you.

Not deeply.

Not truly.

People care when you shine, not when you struggle.

And in all these moments, even when I’m surrounded by people, I feel alone —

like I’m standing in the middle of a crowd but still unseen.

Maybe some people are like me.

Maybe they walk through life quietly, hoping someone will understand the heaviness they carry.

Maybe they are searching for a place where they feel like they belong.

Or maybe, like me… they’re searching for home inside themselves.



And that’s why the title of this book is Homeless.

Not because I don’t have a physical home.

But because somewhere along the way…

I lost the home inside myself.

The home where my thoughts should feel safe.

Where my choices should matter.

Where I should be allowed to breathe without fear of disappointing someone.

Maybe that’s what this book is—

an attempt to rebuild that home.

Brick by brick.

Sentence by sentence.

Truth by truth.

If you’re reading this, maybe you feel a little bit homeless too.

but inside your own heart.

They say, “Learn from your mistakes.”

It sounds simple. Almost comforting.

But what if that mistake demotivates you so deeply that it turns into stress?

What if it stays in your head, replaying again and again, refusing to leave?

I know.

I know it’s something we’re supposed to handle on our own.

But sometimes—especially for sensitive people—this becomes incredibly difficult.

Let me explain.

Imagine you are doing your work honestly.

You put in effort.

You try your best.

And then… a mistake happens.

Not directly your fault.

But indirectly, yes.

Your mistake was small—maybe just not informing someone.

And even if you had informed them, the outcome wouldn’t have changed.

Still, informing was important.

And you didn’t do it.

Now that one mistake starts haunting you.



You are explained things calmly.

You are told lovingly what went wrong.

Later, yes, you get scolded—that’s a different story.

But even after everything…

you are still stuck in that guilt.

And the hardest part?

You don’t know how to come out of it.

Friends tell you,

“Just be shameless.”

“Whatever happened, happened.”

“Why are you taking so much tension?”

“Relax. Enjoy.”

They make it sound so easy.

But for me… the mistake feels heavy.

I tried not to think about it.

I tried to move on.

But the guilt stayed.



Sometimes I wonder—

Am I the only one who feels like this?

Or are there others like me too?

Because when I make a mistake, I can’t enjoy anything.

I can’t laugh properly.

I can’t relax.

The tension feels so big, as if the world is ending.

Even though deep down I know it’s not.

But at that moment, the guilt takes over everything.

It doesn’t allow space for any other thought or feeling.

Then I look at others.

They make mistakes too.

They move on so easily.

They laugh.

They live.

And I ask myself—

Why am I not like them?

Why do I feel everything so deeply?



But maybe… this mistake doesn’t make me irresponsible.

Maybe it means something else.

Maybe it means I care.

Maybe mistakes don’t always exist to punish us.

Sometimes they exist to teach us that we can do better.

Let me make it simple.

Imagine solving a math problem.

You understand the concept.

You try the solution.

It has ten steps.

You do the first five steps correctly.

But in the sixth step, you make a small mistake.

Because of that, the entire answer becomes wrong.

Now what should you focus on?

Should you say,

“I understood everything and still failed”?

Or should you say,

“I did five steps right. Let me understand what went wrong in the sixth step and try again”?



Life mistakes are bigger than math problems, I know.

They hurt more.

They stay longer.

They sometimes shake our confidence.

But still…

we have to protect ourselves from drowning in that tension.

It’s difficult.

Very difficult.

But no one else will come to save us from our own thoughts.

So we have to do something—

even if it’s hard,

even if it takes time.

Maybe not today.

Maybe not immediately.

But slowly…

we learn to breathe again.

Because guilt should teach us—not destroy us.

Mistakes should guide us—not break us.

And maybe this journey—

of learning how to forgive ourselves—

is also a part of finding home again.

And that’s why the title of this book is Homeless.

Not because I don’t have a physical home.

But because somewhere along the way…

I lost the home inside myself.

The home where my thoughts should feel safe.

Where my choices should matter.

Where I should be allowed to breathe without fear of disappointing someone.

Maybe that’s what this book is—

an attempt to rebuild that home.

Brick by brick.

Sentence by sentence.

Truth by truth.

If you’re reading this, maybe you feel a little bit homeless too.

Not in the world—

but inside your own heart.

And maybe… just maybe…

we’ll find our way back together.
