I fell in love with writing when I was 15, and with reading when I was 13. The stories that once comforted me have carried me through some of the hardest moments in my life. Even when I was juggling studies and an internship, I always found a way to keep reading — it was my escape, my safe place. And when life gets overwhelming, there’s nothing I love more than sitting down to write. It’s the moment when everything quiets down, and I can finally breathe again.
