Writing a memoir meant deciding to be seen — not curated, not polished. Actually seen.
And that was its own kind of barrier.
I had to ask for help. My editor read what I had written and said: "These are great — but they are written from the wound. Now we have to rewrite them from the scar."
I didn't understand it at first. But I trusted her. And that one sentence changed the entire book.
She didn't just work on my writing. She walked into my life — literally traveled to my hometown in Bulgaria, met my family, saw where I came from. That's what made this book as honest as it is.
