“Very modern and contemporary stories that translate the speed and emptiness of our times and the search for love. A search that begins within ourselves: self-love to create a bond with others. I strongly recommend reading it.”

I found the stories in this book relatable. I laughed at the actions of some of the individuals, as they reminded me of certain things I have done out of love.

So, I wrote a book…

Writing a book always seemed like a distant dream, but over time I learned that some things are more possible than we imagined. We just need to have courage. So, I organised some stories I had written some time ago, wrote new ones and started working. I organised, designed and complemented with photos that I took throughout my life.

And here it is, available to the world…

A collection of 11 fictional stories about self-love, love for others, love for life and all the turbulence that can cause. But everything is temporary. Everything passes. With this book, I eternalise a moment of courage, love, feelings, poetry and stories of what could have been, what was or what may never be. Always searching for the answer to the question that won’t go away, where do we learn to love?

So I write, maybe to breathe, understand, live, or kill. But today, to be free.
