"The Day I Became an Aunt"

The Day I Became an Aunt
A deeply personal, autobiographical story told through fiction.

What should have been a day of pure joy-becoming an aunt for the first time-unravels into a quiet storm of emotion, memory, and longing.

Maja, a woman in her thirties, wakes up to the news that her brother Zoran has become a father. But instead of celebration, the moment brings a wave of complex feelings: joy for her father's happiness, grief over her own unfulfilled dreams of motherhood, and a painful reminder of the growing distance between siblings who were once inseparable.

This is a story about broken family bonds, unspoken regrets, and the silent hope that healing is still possible.

Told in third person, but lived in the first.
These are moments I've lived, truths I've carried quietly-and now I'm ready to share them.
