Which one is more frightening: to experience something terrible in your life and have it recorded in your memory for life, or to find out one day that something terrible was done to you without you ever knowing it or remembering it?

How About the Truth?
They say that what you don’t know won’t hurt you. Would you still want to know the truth, even if it will hurt you and probably change everything you’ve perceived in life? Or would you rather not know, and thus not be hurt?
The Plan
I know some of you might not care for teasers, so realistically, here are some plans for the book.
It will be published in late June, 2019. This is my own personal goal and I will do my best to stick to it.
It will be available in both digital and paperback format, if not simultaneously then at least very close to each other’s D-day. Both formats will be available worldwide.
It is in English language, and I would recommend the reader to be 18 years old or above, due to explicit language and overall content.
Congratulations, now you know the plan! So either you sit back and relax before getting your hands on the book, or enjoy the teasers that I will post here every week. Other than teasers, I will also be regularly adding notes. If you haven’t already, follow this blog so you won’t miss out on any updates.
Yes, it is happening.
Setting It In Motion
When was the last time I did something crazy? Answer: too long ago.
About 12 years ago, when I told my family and friends that I was moving abroad to a country half a world away from my birthplace, I was told that I was either very brave or very crazy. But I did it anyway. I knew nothing about the language, very tiny bit about the culture, and I had no one else here but the person that I came here for.
And yet, here I am now, comfortably living and integrating with the people here, making new friends, working in a permanent position, and speaking the country’s language–may I say–fluently.
Sometimes you just need that craziness. Push yourself out of your own boundaries and go for it, do whatever it is you’ve always wanted to do (as long as it doesn’t hurt other people, in any sense, of course). Get yourself out of your comfort zone, to make another, new comfort zone elsewhere.
In about 24 hours from now, I am doing exactly that. Setting things in motion, before I change my mind. And once I do it, I can’t undo any of it anymore, there’s no looking back, and I will just have to go through it no matter what.
Listen to me, being overly dramatic over a few teasers for my new book.
But it is important to me. This is, after all, CRAZY for me, to think that after only writing for myself for years, I’m suddenly letting it out for public. I feel so exposed, yet I want to do it. I feel scared, yet I’m ready.
The time is now.
Do You Remember?
Have you ever felt so sure that you’re forgetting something, but no matter how hard you try to remember it, you can’t figure out what it is? All you remember is the bad feeling that follows and lingers in you afterwards ….
