about.

While finishing this book, I realised it started long before I was born.

But — it begins to click with a candle in a bar during a solo trip to Berlin.

Cold Berlin
January 7th

Very first Sunday of 2024 — a solo trip

I was at the counter ready to leave but ordered one last drink.

I move away and sit down.

While waiting,
on my table, under a candle I find a fortune cookie note.

It reads: better to light a candle than complain about darkness.

5 months later pieces started to come together.

For some reason, you are here —

and so much had to happen for you to be here.

Like everything I thought I owned, this story was never just mine.

So I decided to write a book to recreate this experience.

A book with detachable pages.


A book that belongs to no one.

A book that finds you.

I’m glad I found you, it’s in your hands now.
