And then there was love. No recommendation there — just pure coincidence. The kind that changes everything.
Now, if I could give you one more recommendation, it would be this: find your quiet place.
Mine is on the Vršac mountain in Serbia, in a small wooden attic where the fire crackles and the world slows down. While the children sleep, I write.
Five minutes of peace for the soul — that’s all it takes to remember who you are.
