Chapter 12 (BTS part 1 )


Chapter 12: Behind the Scenes (BTS) - Part 1

In my previous chapter, I shared with you the exciting news of publishing my first book, a collection of poems that holds a very special place in my heart. But behind that book lies a backstory—a very personal and somewhat unusual love story that I’ve only partly revealed in one of my articles on Medium. Today, I want to share more of that story with you, though I never intended to reveal this other part. But with no one else to share my thoughts with, I figured it might be better to let you in on it.

Let’s start from the beginning. As I mentioned in my Medium article, I began writing poems at a very young age, around 10 or 11. Poetry wasn't a hobby or a passion per se; it was simply a way for me to capture my random thoughts. Since I had no one to talk to and no one to listen to me, writing became my outlet.

My journey with poetry started quite naturally. I would jot down my thoughts and feelings in a rough copy whenever inspiration struck. Writing poems was never part of a daily routine; rather, it was a spontaneous outpouring of my heart and soul. Over the years, I dreamed of one day compiling these poems into a book. This dream was close to my heart, a personal goal that I nurtured with love and passion.

However, back then, I knew I wasn’t mature enough to compile all my thoughts and poems into one cohesive book. So, I waited—waited until I felt ready to bring my vision to life. As I grew older, I continued to write sporadically, though I stopped writing poems altogether after high school. But that’s just the beginning. The second part of this story is yet to come.
