Description of the Book:
 
he Drowning of the Ego is an anthology that takes us through Annie's experiences As Annie steps into this new phase of life, she encounters a world beyond the love that she had swam in since birth. To hurt and be hurt, and meander through paths of indecision that crowded her mind with dissatisfaction. She felt like the rules of life were obvious to everyone but her. In self-pity, she never realised the feelings of others. To her, other people were akin to characters in a book. Although she understood that their hearts beat and bled like hers, she never truly felt it. Her faith was weak, and her opinions fickle which led her to succumb to angst on a daily basis.She grew afraid of the quiet, which always forced her to tackle her insecurities. It was only later that she realised that the problem might lie within herself. This realisation gave birth to self-loathing. The only coping mechanism that she could turn to was a pensive in the form of written words poured across bound pages. She wrote and wrote, till finally, sunshine returned to her life. Life was good, and there were no more beasts, neither in her nor in those around. Having understood that, Annie recognised the importance of embracing herself—acknowledging her inner goodness and being kind even to Evil. Not nurturing it, but showing it a way out of the dark.
