Synopsis

We have plenty of poetry about love and even more about happiness. But what we refuse to talk about are the more painful things in life. How do you put your pain into words? What happens when you can't find anyone to listen? On the other hand, what if you've talked it out to the entire world and pain still pours out of you like a river? If Your Days Looked Like Mine is a collection of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that describe how to contend with staying alive. It explores the reasons we hurt, wish for death, and ultimately choose to live. It is about choices, but not those between easy and hard. It is about choosing the lesser of two evils, and what price you are willing to pay to be happy. It is about chasing the 100% that you need to be happy, but learning to live with only ever having 99%. Do you choose to stay happy with the 99%, or do you chase after the 1% instead?

About this title

About the Author

Harleen Kaur is a word connoisseur who understands the importance of personal experience. She first traveled the world through books as a child, then across the world as a young adult. Among the many places she has visited, lived in, and left, she has been on a lifelong journey to find where she belongs. She wrote If Your Days Looked Like Mine to describe what it feels like to find no home in the places where she should have belonged, and finding a home in places where she never would have even imagined. A firm believer that a good writer is made by an even better reader, you can usually find her curled up on the couch, reading. If her nose isn't buried in her books, she is probably watching Bollywood movies and falling in love with the lead actor, enjoying a cup of chai while watching the sunset, or pretending she's performing at a concert and singing Hindi songs. Harleen can be found on Instagram and Twitter, @harleennigah.
