Fourteen years ago, this story found paper for the first time.
Not with the intention of writing a book, and certainly not with the idea of creating a series.
It started in silence, in private, written only for myself, as a way to hold on to memories that never seemed to fade.
Even the earliest ones stayed clear, as if they had happened yesterday.
The good moments, the difficult ones, and everything in between — all of them felt alive, all of them part of the same path that was shaping me without asking where I wanted to go.
At that time, I didn’t think about publishing.
I didn’t think about readers.
I didn’t think about volumes.
I was simply writing what life had already written in me.
Years passed, and about six years ago I gathered those pages together, still without knowing if they would ever become anything more than personal notes.
But once I began to look at the whole story at once, I understood something I hadn’t seen before.
This life could not fit into one book.
Every experience opened another door.
Every choice led to another path.
And sometimes life moved faster than I ever believed possible, until the story I had lived slowly became the story I was writing.
What began as private pages turned into a memoir.
And the memoir became a series, not because I planned it that way, but because the journey itself refused to be told all at once.
Today, the third volume is out.
And for the first time, I can clearly see the shape of the whole story — a four-volume memoir, each part written the only way it could be written: step by step, exactly as life unfolded.
Some stories are too wide for a single book.
They take time, distance, and experience to understand.
And sometimes they need more than one volume to be told.
The journey continues.
With warmth,
