From as far back as I can remember, I've always had these moments before going to sleep where my mind would drift into vivid, imagined worlds. The feelings I experienced through my stories were just incredible, and I found myself wanting to feel that forever. I'd invent stories and characters, placing a protagonist at the center who lived out her adventures through my imagination, and through my eyes as well. It became my escape, a personal space where these tales were mine alone, always stuck in my head. Now, I've decided to turn those stories into words, to make them real-not just for the world to see, but perhaps even more for myself-to keep experiencing those powerful emotions and to bring that protagonist to life beyond the borders of my imagination's land.
