What happens when a good person finally stops trying to be good for everyone?From childhood, we are taught to sacrifice.To adjust.To give more than we receive.To become heroes in other people's stories. But no one teaches us how to survive our own. Why I? is not a story about rebellion. It is a story about awakening.Through the deeply personal journey of a young man learning to reclaim himself, this novella challenges one of society's most celebrated myths - that selflessness is always noble and selfishness is always wrong. As expectations crumble and relationships reveal their hidden transactions, he arrives at a startling realization: You cannot save the world. But you can always save your world. Raw, reflective, and unapologetically honest, Why I? explores: The emotional cost of constant sacrifice The loneliness of self-discovery The courage required to choose yourself And the misunderstood power of healthy selfishness This is a book for anyone who has ever asked: Why am I always the one who gives? And finally dared to answer: Because I never chose myself. Sometimes the bravest act of love...is loving yourself first. Varun Viju Nair delivers a bold, introspective novella that speaks to a generation learning that growth is not betrayal - it is survival.
