Love is not something you find. Love is something that finds you. Love does not dominate, for it cultivates. Love is a never-ending art. It is a masterpiece that no one could ever decipher. But it isn't something we just discover and cling to, it is something we must deliberately create with one another on a daily basis. Because it is an art created by the heart. Its colors are from the soul with its pure light and magical hues. This collection of poetry will make you see both the magic and tragedies that one could possibly experience when venturing into the magical mysteries of love.

A Bra Strap is not supposed to be seen, at least this is what the social norms dictate in many cultures. We try to hide it behind the thick straps of underslip or hook it in the blouse so that it is not exposed. It becomes almost a sisterhood obligation to tuckin bra straps of fellow females if their strap crosses its boundary 'unknowingly'. However hard one may try, the straps are still there, having an invisible presence. They taunt you from those layers of fabrics which are trying helplessly to smother them. They snap and they move with any movement of their owner. Despite all the cautions, all the deliberation, the straps are still there, staring stubbornly into your face. This is what the book exposes. The stories of everyday women, real women, who hide their identity, their femininity, their weaknesses and desires behind the layers of commitment, duties, social obligations, but the 'realyou' is still there, like a brastrap, snapping and exposing.

This novel by Xuan Duc based on a real serious case that happened in Quang Tri province and Military Region 4. The fate of the main character in the story posed a problem of great tragedy of a whole era in a special land. Hien Luong - Ben Hai - the river at the 17th parallel that divided Vietnam into North and South, was under the terrible pressure of the historical confrontation. The author did not describe the weapon confrontation, but leaded readers into another tragedy: the ideological confrontation that had pushed a gentle, simple person to become an unrecognized person, living a lonely life in his own homeland, eventually becoming a criminal who received the death penalty. The book made a big splash in Vietnamese literature in the 80s of the 20th century.

Few may explore the theme of trees at the core of their writing as the topic feels so empirical and scientific, as most matters of nature are generally treated, nonetheless Daniel Ceeline Ramonal braves weaving an intimate collection of lessons from trees. Written in switching tones - often poetic, sometimes serious, occasionally angry, but always with a dash of humor, she gives insightful and provocative ideas about 'everyday things' that are taken for granted while navigating through delicate issues like waste culture, discrimination, and climate change. 'Let Me Learn from a Tree' narrates fourteen reflections and stories about change, anticipation versus reality, surviving and overcoming challenges, diversity, death, and positivity that allude to trees and our experiences around them. The short stories remind readers to dig deeper and look closer at the hidden messages that the trees are trying to impart.
How To Get Rid Of Anxiety Disorder is a self-help book for those who are suffering from an anxiety disorder. This book contains information that will guide the anxiety disorder sufferer towards freedom from the anxiety disorder's symptoms. This book was based on the author's experiences as he suffered once from generalized anxiety disorder for more than 5 years. He wrote in this book the ""five ways"" he followed that freed him from the suffering of anxiety disorder. The five ways were discovered by the author through his constant search for the antidote to his suffering from an anxiety disorder. The author will not be able to know the effectiveness of these ""five ways"" without first applying and experimenting with them on himself. There isn't one of the ""five ways"" that suggests taking any medication prescribed by a doctor. This ""five ways"" only includes activities that will help the mind become calm, refreshed, and fearless in order to reduce stress, which is one of the reasons that anxiety disorders last longer.The twenty-nine symptoms of anxiety disorder that the author had experienced before were also written elaborately. Each of these symptoms of anxiety disorder is explained based on how the author experienced them for the reader to see, understand, and confirm what each feels like if they ever experience these symptoms. If the author had found these ""five ways"" early enough, he would not have had to suffer from anxiety disorder in those long years.
