Friedrich Nietzche lived much of his life alone: no family, no stable home, few friends who understood him. He suffered from severe migraines, failing eyesight, and illnesses that left him bedridden for days. But even in that solitude, his mind burned brighter. He wrote with intensity, filling page after page with thoughts that defied convention. And yet, that same brilliance became his curse. The irony was that his deepest wish was not to destroy meaning

John Keats saw beauty in the simplest things: the shape of a leaf, the tremble of a voice, the silence of a night sky. To him, beauty wasn’t an escape from pain; it was pain transformed into meaning. His famous line, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever,” wasn’t just poetry. It was his faith. He believed that even when the world fades, beauty remains.

He wasn’t the kind of man you’d notice in a crowd. He didn’t crave fame or noise or recognition. He lived quietly, cautiously, as though afraid that the world might hurt him if he spoke too loudly. Yet, in that silence, Franz Kafka created words powerful enough to shake generations. Kafka didn’t write stories; he wrote truths wrapped in nightmares, mirrors that reflected the hidden corners of the human soul.

Once your pen touches paper, the magic begins to unravel. Words lead to more words. Thoughts that were hiding in the corners of your mind slowly start stepping out, one by one. What matters is the movement, not the perfection.

Some books don’t just tell a story; they leave you sitting in silence after the last page, staring at nothing, as if something deep inside you has shifted. The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is exactly that kind of book. It’s unsettling, emotional, thought-provoking, and strangely beautiful in its own quiet, haunting way.

fiction becomes more than entertainment - it becomes a safe space. And that’s why the emotions we feel inside a story can sometimes be sharper, deeper, and more real than what we feel in our everyday lives.

Isn’t it fascinating how a story made of nothing but words on a page can hold us so tightly, almost like a friend who walked beside us for days, weeks, or even months? We invest so much of our heart into the journey that by the time it ends, it feels less like finishing a book and more like closing a chapter of our own life.
