The Stable Mind & The ocean of Chi E.D.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Shinwa (心 和) is a term taught with the Japanese tea ceremony. It represents a heart at peace, complete balance and harmony, both within one's heart (and mind) and with one's surroundings. The term is composed of the symbols "心" (shin - heart/mind) and "和" (wa - peace/harmony). A mind at peace with other minds (and the world), is central to Zen arts and practice.

I found this book in the quiet, aching aftermath. It was that strange, hollowed-out season where the world keeps spinning but you feel permanently still, nursing a wound that no one else can see. The title itself felt like a dare—Thank You for Leaving Me. The words seemed almost offensive in their optimism. Thank you? For this pain? For this feeling of being unchosen? No. Not yet.

Rithvik Singh’s words didn’t meet me with a flashy pep talk or empty promises. They met me with a deep, knowing empathy. It was as if the author had pulled up a chair in the midst of my heartbreak and simply sat with me, saying, “I know. It’s awful. And you are not alone in this.”

This isn't a book about getting over someone; it's a book about coming back to yourself. Rithvik gently untangles the knot of rejection and shows you that the threads you’re holding onto aren’t just about the person who left—they’re about your own worth, your own fears, your own story. He reframes the entire narrative. The leaving isn’t the end of your story; it’s the brutal, necessary beginning of a new one.

The most powerful thing he offers is permission. Permission to grieve, fully and completely, without rushing to “be okay.” Permission to be angry, to be sad, to feel lost. And then, slowly, he offers the tools to clean the wound, not just bandage it. He helps you see that a person who chooses to walk away from you is not a prize to be won back, but a lesson to be understood.

He writes about self-love not as a fluffy concept, but as a practical, daily rebellion. It’s about reclaiming the pieces of yourself you gave away. It’s about learning to be your own home, so you’re never again left homeless by someone else’s departure.

Reading this book felt like a gradual dawn. The title that once felt like a cruel joke began to make a terrible, beautiful sense. The “thank you” isn’t for the hurt they caused. It’s for the strength you found because of it. It’s for the person you are becoming—the person who is more whole, more aware, and more resilient than the one they left behind.

Thank You for Leaving Me is a quiet revolution of the heart. It’s a guide for turning a story of abandonment into a story of empowerment. It’s the gentle hand on your shoulder that turns you away from the closed door behind you and toward the breathtaking, open horizon ahead. It doesn’t just help you move on; it helps you become. And for that, you will one day, truly, be thankful.
