Where I Faded — From Only To Who is a mixed-genre emotional collection that moves between narrative storytelling and poetic expression. It blends English prose, Urdu shayari, and English poetry to explore love, attachment, emotional loss, and the gradual disappearance of self within relationships.
The book is structured as a journey rather than a single story. It begins with innocent connection, slowly unfolds into emotional dependence, and eventually reaches a quiet realization of identity loss and inner emptiness. Through chapters written in novel form and verses written in poetry, it captures the shift from feeling “chosen” to feeling “forgotten,” and finally to questioning “who I became in the process.”
The inclusion of Urdu shayari adds depth to feelings that are difficult to express directly, while English poetry and prose provide clarity to the unfolding emotional narrative. Together, they create a layered voice that reflects confusion, love, pain, and self-realization.
At its core, Where I Faded is not only about love or heartbreak. It is about identity loss, emotional dependence, and the silent process of fading while trying to hold someone else close.
