The Measurement of Souls

By Nikita Murva

Life’s a ride. Please keep all love, compassion and positive energy inside the carriage at all times. Thank you.

The Measurement of Souls is a book for anyone feeling a little lost or out of place. It’s for anyone feeling like the jigsaw piece that just can’t find another to click into. It is a book for ordinary people and is the candid gateway into the mind of a young, everyday girl. Exploring themes of love, loss and living life, it aims to bring new perspectives to light and eradicate loneliness.
One thing the education system fails to teach is that it’s okay not to be okay. We are not educated on how to go into ourselves and operate on our inner workings or how to salvage oneself from hurt.
In the form of a poetic diary, learn that you are not the only one struggling. With comedy, use of everyday references and even quick quotes, let The Measurement of Souls not only be a book to read, but an aid to keep you strong.

Dedications

I dedicate this book in its entirety to Mr P. S. Murva. Thank you for showing me myself. I know you were with me every step of the way.

To my father, the first man ever to make me feel beautiful and so very loved.

To my mother, the woman who challenged me to grow up humbly, respectfully and whole-heartedly. My greatest challenge.

To my family; my mother’s side resembles my back garden. Fresh white drapes blowing out in the wind, summer warmth and complete serenity. My father’s side built like the front yard – cars everywhere, beeping horns but a damn good party. Either way, my family is my home. Thank you all.
