LIFE AFTER GRADUATION

This heartfelt and honest ebook follows Maya, a new graduate navigating the uncertain space between school and adulthood. At first, she feels lost, surrounded by expectations but lacking direction. The story unfolds in 8 reflective chapters, chronicling her emotional journey from confusion to clarity.

• In Chapter 1, Maya stands on the “empty stage” of post-grad life, unsure of what comes next.
• Chapter 2 shows her sinking into “the fog” of rejection and self-doubt as she tries to follow the conventional path.
• In Chapter 3, she decides to pause and reflect, journaling and rediscovering her interests, eventually learning about Ikigai, the Japanese concept of purpose.
• Chapter 4 captures her taking small, imperfect steps forward—trying workshops, volunteering, and freelancing.
• Chapter 5 celebrates her small wins and the return of self-confidence.
• In Chapter 6, Maya redefines success in her own terms: balance, meaningful work, and mental peace.
• Chapter 7 offers practical advice she wishes she knew earlier, like “there’s no timeline” and “clarity comes through action.”
• Finally, Chapter 8 reminds us that the journey continues, and that's okay.

A Bonus Section invites readers to reflect on their own questions and dreams, while the Final Note reassures them that feeling lost is not failure—it’s just the beginning of something uncharted and full of potential.
