A Journey of Almosts and Endings
By Umesh Jena

What do you do with a love that never had a beginning… but still broke your heart?

This isn’t a typical love story. It’s the story of almosts — the glances, the unspoken feelings, the late-night overthinking, and the confessions that never came. Told through the lens of seven emotional stages, this book explores what it means to love silently, to lose loudly, and to heal quietly.

Through poetic storytelling, personal reflections, and raw vulnerability, A Journey of Almosts and Endings takes you through one boy’s emotional evolution — from infatuation to worship, heartbreak to letting go — and ultimately, toward self-rediscovery.

Whether you’ve loved someone who never knew…
Or waited for someone who never came back…
This book is your mirror.
