Memoir: A Canvas of Life

Life comes and goes, and we quickly let our minds and senses drift away like the gushing water of a river. It doesn't take a tremendous effort to initiate a short text, poem, or song lyric to record an account. It is surprising when a series of brief literary pieces strung together reveals 'life' (or part of it). Thus goes this book.

This work is the voice of my existence and the portrayal of my story. Writing was a new and daunting experience for me. I struggled because I was never good at it, but I persevered, not minding the finished product. After months of producing essays and articles, I got accustomed to the exercise. Writing became an immersive task for me. Then, I got committed to completing a book.
