The heart is a device.
It records what it survives. It trips on the same signals. It does not learn.

Notes from inside the machine.
Terms of Living
Terms of Living is the book for the moment after love stops being a story and becomes evidence. Not a guide to feeling better — a record of how the machine actually runs, written by someone still inside it.
A breakup concludes calmly. Language behaves. Dignity remains intact. The following morning, the room looks the same. The body does not.
The Heartbreak Canon
A three-book arc through the wreckage of modern love. From the patterns we recognize to the accountability we resist, these books trace the full journey.
5-STAR REVIEWS
"This book had me CACKLING on public transport. Aleks doesn't just tell dating horror stories: he gives you the tools to recognize red flags before you're knee-deep in chaos."
"Finally, a queer dating memoir that doesn't sugarcoat anything! Aleks writes with the perfect blend of humor and wisdom."
"The audiobook is INCREDIBLE. Perfect for commutes, workouts, or whenever you need a reminder that you're not the only one who's dated absolute disasters."
