Peace

It’s been a while since I felt at peace with myself. It is likely one of the reasons why I stopped writing. Yet, today, I am celebrating not only how I feel on the inside but also finding the courage to go back to publishing.

I would like to thank everyone who kept reading the stories that I randomly shared over social media. You kept me going with your positive feedback and kind words. I would also like to sincerely thank the one friend who suggested that I go back to publishing.

“Infinite desert” is a story written under the clear sky, with a glass of wine next to me. It felt like I was a kid again when I was thinking of the joy of going back to the desertic land of Namibia. I am writing this from some lost village, in this country that means so much to me. I was not wrong at all, I still love it. About to head out, between the dunes, wondering who I will be when I come back. That’s for another time, I guess.
